Palmont City

Palmont City is the name of the city where Need for Speed: Carbon takes place. It contains 4 main areas, known as Silverton, Downtown, Kempton and Fortuna.

Silverton
This area is the only district locked at the start of the game. The area is controlled by Darius, and his crew, Stacked Deck. Most of the districts have a Heat Level of 4 or 5, as a result of the crew's activities. It is based on Las Vegas, as it has lots of very bright lights and miniature versions of world lankmarks, such as London's Tower Bridge.

Downtown
This area is unlocked from the start and is controlled by Bushido and their main man Kenji. It seems to be a mix of Japanese and American city styles, made into one. If you choose the Mazda RX-8, a tuner, you will start your Career mode journey in this area.

Kempton
This area is unlocked from the start is and is controlled by Angie and her crew, 21st Street. It is a sort of coastal/industrial city mix. If you choose the Chevrolet Camaro SS, a muscle, as your starter car, you will start Career mode here.

Fortuna
This area is also unlocked from the start, and it is controlled by TFK and Wolf. It is a rich, coastal city, resembling Los Angeles. If you choose the Alfa Romeo Brera, an exotic, as your starter car, you will begin Career mode here.

Highway 142
This is the main highway, which forms the backbone of Palmont City. It starts in Kempton and winds it's way up to Silverton.

Canyons
The Canyons are tall, mountain-like structures, which contain steep, winding roads. They surround Palmont to the north, east and south.
