I discovered that Driv3r's Japanese release for the PS2 not only has leftover mission, FMV and animation files, but it also has leftover files with higher resolution vehicle textures compared to the final release! It is a similar set of textures as the Xbox Press Demo, albeit in a more final state and in relatively lower overall quality in comparison to PC and Xbox, due to the PS2 palletizing method used for textures. However, not only clean textures were leftover, so there's good amount of damaged textures as well, compared to the Xbox Press Demo which only contains a very small amount of them. This difference results in a doubled texture resolution width, which is good enough to make the vehicles look much better! Unfortunately, not every single vehicle has a leftover texture of it and can be recovered, so here's showcase footage of some of them.
