Not a trope.


The game was successful enough to get itself ported to the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis (and pretty much everything else of the same generation as the Genesis), and spawned lots of sequels. They all follow the same formula, though several of them add an opponent to race against in addition to the clock and standard traffic.

* ArcadePerfectPort: Technically, only two are ''exactly'' perfect: the UsefulNotes/SEGASaturn version in the "SEGA Ages" line, and the version [[EmbeddedPrecursor included with]] the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} release of ''[=OutRun=] 2''. Consoles released prior to the Saturn weren't powerful enough to perfectly emulate the game, while later ports, like the otherwise faithful 3DS and Switch versions, modify the car to look less like a Testarossa.

* Usefulnotes/{{Synthwave}}: The TropeNamer for "[=OutRun=]" music, due to how its {{chiptune}} soundtrack has the kind of 80s synth vibe that characterizes synthwave. The Switch version of the game plays on this by including an ''actual'' synthwave song: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Td1QMq-8s Driver's Megamix Vol. 1]]".

* GuestFighter: The open-wheel car from ''VideoGame/VirtuaRacing'' appears as a secret vehicle in the home console version of ''[=OutRunners=]'' as the "Virtua Formula". However it this isn't included in every release of the game.

* {{Fauxrrari}}: The first game didn't have official licensing from Ferrari (that would happen beginning with ''Scud Race''), despite using everything about the Testarossa's styling, up to and including the prancing horse logo on the back; re-releases of the game usually replace the Testarossa with a similar yet generic Ferrari expy. The cars were fully licensed in ''[=OutRun=] 2'' and its derivatives.
