An additional online-only conversion of Porsche Unleashed, dubbed Need for Speed: Top Speed, was released in response to both the release of MacGillivray Freeman's 2002 IMAX film, Top Speed, and the Porsche Cayenne.

Now, thanks to Aspyr Media, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, a game that features the 50 year history of the most storied performance car maker in the world…Porsche, is coming to the Mac. From the real-world physics to the thrilling racing, Porsche Unleashed is a work of art all Mac users will come to enjoy. Here’s just a few reasons why…
With Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, Mac users arguably get the best game in the series. Porsche features a brand new graphics engine, not a rehash from the previous versions (as is the case with many Electronic Arts titles), resulting in stunning visuals that far surpass previous versions. Thanks to a full license from Porsche, the 80 or so cars in Unleashed are meticulously detailed in full 3D, with players having the ability to look and zoom inside the car to check out the completely three-dimensional dash, under the hood, and even the trunk. On later 911s, the spoilers pop up when you reach over 50 mph and retract when you slow to 30 mph. Neat, huh?The tracks themselves are nothing short of astonishing. Unlike past racing games that featured small tracks and repeating architecture, Porsche’s tracks are vast and gorgeous; all modeled after German landmarks. Lighthouses, tankers, towns, bridges, towers, and modern highways all add to the incredible realism. The game also features a dynamic sky with clouds moving rapidly, especially on rainy days.
Unlike previous Need for Speed games that included closed circuit roads, Porsche’s tracks are mainly open roads that include alternate routes to the finish line. While racing, you’ll often find the more aggressive computer drivers taking short cuts (like cutting through the grass) or taking side roads (often shorter but more treacherous paths). All in all, Porsche includes nine European open road courses and five closed tracks.
