Back in 2005, Electronic Arts (EA) was preparing to launch a new game from the famous Need for Speed franchise: Most Wanted. It was one of the best games of the series and one of the most loved.
For that event they asked Sumo Power to prepare a car that would represent the game best. The car they picked was a BMW E46 M3 GTR. The goal of this endeavor was to create a car the first of all looked good, power figures coming in second.

On November 25th, 2005, EA gave away the car to a lucky lady from the UK that won it in a lucky draw, on live television, presented by MTV.
