For years, the fabled "Yellow & Black Buick GSX" has been the car we all knew quite well as something that never quite made it into the final game. It was featured prominently in a demo disc put out by Playstation Magazine, commonly referred to as "Euro Demo 43". It's a non-playable demo featuring the GSX being chased by beta cops in a beta miami. And it also turns out to be an actual beta version of Driver running in real-time! Of course, they're just replays, but everything that makes the game tick is there!
Recently, one of our long-time members here on Driver Madness, Jeff (aka Someone972), has been working on decoding the PSX level format. Once he figured out how to load models/textures, he decided to try out Euro Demo 43. After a couple of tweaks with his loader, this is what he saw:

...you can't be serious?!
THERE IS A 1965 FORD MUSTANG IN THE BETA DRIVER DEMO!
This is literally the biggest discovery ever made in a Driver game. It's been nearly 15 years since Driver was released on the PlayStation, and we never once heard anything about a red Ford Mustang being one of the cars you could drive. Imagine what could have been...
Keep up the great work Jeff!
You saw it here first on Driver Madness! Tell us what you think!
Note: The model seen in the screenshots was found in the beta demo, however it was untextured. Since the body had the shape of a Mustang, Jeff did a quick texturing job to the model.
