The game has different stages and difficulty levels and can be made ad-free if you pay a dollar to the game’s developer. Download from App Store

Real Racing GTI

Volkswagen’s Real Racing GTI iPhone game starring the latest Golf VI is of course not a game intended to get some bucks from you, Volkswagen just wants you to testdrive its car on your mobile device.

Traffic Rush

Traffic Rush is a simple but pretty chaotic car traffic game similar to Firemint’s non-free Flight Control game. You need to make cars stop and accelerate by simply giving them a touch of your finger. It’s your job to make sure that the cars don’t crash, until of course you lose your head and get too much tapping work and the cars crash leading to your game over with hopefully a new high score!
