Cars
The game does not use licensed names of cars (because of the presence of car damage and police chase), but the makes and models are easily identifiable.
Each team (nation) has their set of three unique vehicles: sportscar, sedan and SUV. This does not always mean that the nation in question had manufactured the respective car, for example the Dutch team uses British and Swedish cars. In addition, the player can unlock a bonus car, so the number of drivable vehicles totals to 25.
There is an array of traffic and police cars on every track as well, models varying from country to country.
The civilian vehicles were also based on real models but they weren't as detailed as the drivable cars. These cars were easy to smash out of the way, meaning players wouldn't have to worry about their obstruction as much as if they were heavily weighted. One part of the Marseilles map made players drive through a car park, this wouldn't be possible if the cars were heavier.

“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
