Additionally, physics have been changed to be a bit more forgiving, and the original Out Run and Turbo OutRun music has been added.

A direct port of the original Out Run is also unlockable.
OutRun 2 SP SDX is a port of 2 SP to stronger hardware and uses a higher resolution. It's also a very impressive cabinet!
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is yet another "better" port of 2 SP: the two cars from the Xbox version plus three new ones, a Coast 2 Coast mode based loosely on the old Mission mode (i.e. without its... stranger... missions) as well as on Heart Attack mode, and all the new music from the Xbox version plus yet more new arranges of the original OutRun tunes.
OutRun 2 SP for the PlayStation 2 is the only port released in Japan, and it's also a Japan exclusive. It is simply the PS2 version of OutRun 2006 with various refinements, and yet another set of arranges of the original Out Run music plus a brand new song.
OutRun Online Arcade is a no-frills download-only port of OutRun 2 SP (though it has online play), and has since been delisted.
It should be noted that there is no port of the original OutRun 2 (particularly its physics).
