The Moon Rover is a vehicle that could have been included in Midtown Madness 2, or was simply a test vehicle, but was cut from the game before its final release.
Angel Studios jokingly claimed that "it burned in a launch pad accident". It is of no relation to NASA's Moon Rover, but does use unique damage effects, unlike other vehicles in the game, yet no body distortion is present. It reuses the sound effects from the Panoz GTR-1 (if installed with MM2 Revisited V4 or later, it uses its own engine sound for itself) and the wheel textures are reused from the Light Tactical Vehicle. You can still drive this unusual vehicle via the MM2 Revisited mod (V4 or later), or by downloading HPB_Forever's version [1] from The Midtown Madness Archive, or by downloading Dummiesboy's version[2], which has been released on Midtown Madness 2 eXtreme, with additional colors, tuning, and sound effects.
In-Game Description[]
"Not very fast, but the small design and six wheels will get you through any alley, or climb any hill with ease."
"The small six wheel design allows for some quick manuvers(sic) in tight spaces, but the top speed and durability aren't exactly out of this world."
