Shivan

### Weaknesses

As a result of a manufacturing error, the brake pads disintegrate rather quickly, rendering the brakes nearly unusable.

**Shivan** is one of the 8 retail cars that originally shipped with the game.

## Information

"*The ladybug of the racing circuit: Fast and driveable, it slips by the other cars and can turn around without changing lanes. Its main drawback? Like all ladybugs, it may fly away as soon as you touch it.*" **- Jupiter State Museum.**

"*An interview with the first engineer of Shivan, Paul Zuran, disclosed the fact that the vehicle uses a form of nuclear propulsion, never before seen in a common day vehicle.* **- UbiSoft French POD Site.**

Апсу

**Апсу** (латиниз. *Apsu*) - бывший Пятый Лорд балауров.

## Биография

Бывший Пятый Лорд балауров, возлюбленная Бритры. Была избрана Фрегионом в противовес Эрискалю за мудрость, предусмотрительность и стремление к порядку. Апсу была самым мирным из Лордов,  многие балауры почитали её за сильный, но не типичный для балауров характер. Апсу будто была создана для сдерживания остальных Лордов балауров и направлении их энергии в конструктивное русло. Несмотря на взаимную любовь к Бритре, благороднейшая (если так можно вообще говорить про балауров) из балауров оставалась беспристрастна.

Тиамат служила у Апсу, однако добившись достаточно высокого звания она начала плести интриги и распространять слухи, дискредитирующие Апсу. Заручившись поддержкой части генералов, Тиамат отравила Апсу и спрятала её тело в неизвестном месте.
Delta

**Delta** is a prototype vehicle that was within the files of the POD Editor. However, the vehicle can't be loaded normally in the editor as it lacks files related to "Manta" (Gamma's former name that can be seen in the files from the OEM 1.0 version of the game), and currently can't be played in the 3DFX version of the game.

The car was likely only made for testing and thus was never meant to be released.

## Appearance

The vehicle is a Lancia Delta HF integrale "Evoluzione". While its current model is untextured, it's possible that it used textures of Gamma (Manta) at some point.

## Trivia

* Stinger has the same default settings as Arc, Fuego, Shark, Loris, Dalton, Locust, Atlas, Eclypse, Razor and Banana.

* Stinger was released August 6th 1997. However, many players had already gotten hold of a beta version of it long before its release on Desiato's webpage.

Why do I say such things? Simple, the Mirage suffers from a 'MAJOR' lack of acceleration. It is a good car but, come on Spider it's a cab!! Here's a small email I sent Spider a couple of days ago. Read it and you will understand....*

Listen Spider, you're a good friend of mine and i don't want to see you get digested by POD. So listen to me for once!!! I really don't ...........--encrypted.*" **- IO Gazette Top News Take 3.**

The Fuego - or "Fork Tailed Devil" as it was popularly known as, was built as a direct competitor to Mitsushita's Bakar 95, and it was an all-round better car.

"*This vehicle is the third car made from a model sent by a player, the Fuego was also voted with more than a 1000 votes!

Soundtrack

Both POD and POD 2 feature a different **Soundtrack**. Below is a list of them.

## POD Soundtrack

POD: Planet of Death only has one song. However, it is a very long track that appears to be a medley of songs instead of being just one. For whatever reason the medley wasn't separated into multiple tracks. Because of that, most people barely ever hear the end of it as races don't ever last long enough.

This song was composed by Daniel Masson, who later also composed several of UbiSoft's games until 2005.

## POD 2 Soundtrack

POD 2 features six songs that play randomly during a race and one menu theme. They have a completely different mood when compared to the previous game's soundtrack.

The soundtrack was composed by Claude Samard, who later also composed for Rayman Arena and Rayman Rush.

Canyon

**Canyon** is one of the original 16 tracks in POD.

## Information

"*This other main way through the Gaia Mountains is also the original way, created by following the beds of ancient rivers and drilling and blasting through parts of the mountain range. After the IMC found huge deposits of ore to mine in what is now the area of the Plant 21 complex, they needed a way to get their huge transports in and out of that area, and at the time being a new company, the Canyon route was the cheapest to implement. Once the money began to pour in, the Pompeii overpass was built, and the Canyon route is used less these days - even though it is a more direct route, the wider, more modern overpass is faster compared to the relatively narrow twisting roads of Canyon.*" **- Jupiter State Museum.**

"*One of the only two roads crossing the Gaia mountain range. Used mostly by oil drilling vehicles, it is said to be dangerous even at slow speeds. It is possible to cover it at 300km an hour, but you would be advised to have your brakes checked first.*" **- POD Manual.**

## Trivia

* Canyon was the first track to be made according to QBall.
