Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is a racing game developed by Sumo Digital and released in 2006 on behalf of Sega AM2. It is the eighth title in the series. Despite its name, is not a direct continuation of the original game. Outrun 2006 is a re-imagining of the first game in the series, and has a completely new game engine and modern graphics. The game is split into two parts: A faithful conversion of OutRun 2 SP (which itself includes the OutRun 2 levels), and "Coast 2 Coast", which includes single player races and challenges, and local network and Internet multiplayer.
OutRun 2006 was released in Europe and North America on the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable in March 2006, but was delayed until June for PC. In Japan, OutRun 2006 has only seen a PlayStation 2 release, albeit retitled as OutRun 2 SP. Each version is subtlety different to play to the strengths of its home system, which includes a link-up feature between the PS2 and PSP versions, a different mission set for the PSP and Xbox Live support on the Xbox.

Known Problems
- Car texture Problems: If the rendering mode is set to anything other than Non-buffered, car textures will have a purple-ish and shiny look. Switch to Non-buffered rendering to fix it.
- White lines on the menus: Switch Texture Filtering to Nearest to fix it.
- Background Sky/Sea are Black/Grey/White: Turn "Disable Alpha Test" on to fix. Note that the sky/sea will turn to these colors after completing a section anyway and that activating this will turn the trees to green squares. And it's pretty much unneeded, because the game will sometimes fix itself while playing.
- Game goes black: Sometimes the game will turn black. No current fix other than exiting the race or resetting.
