The countdown on Carmageddon.com has concluded, followed by the announcement of Carmageddon: Reincarnation, a new installment in the automotive mayhem series expected for release next year. The Carmageddon IP is now the property of Stainless Games, the team that created Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now, with Stainless saying they are "actively seeking a partner with whom to move the project on to full production." The Carmageddon Website seems to be stuck in the slow lane, but when it loads it offers information, a retrospective trailer, forums, and more. Here's a bit from the announcement:

“Carmageddon: Reincarnation will feature the same black humour and comic violence that made the original game such a success.” said Neil Barnden, Executive Director and Stainless co-founder. “All the laughs, the crazy power-ups, and extreme destruction will return. We will make sure the existing fans get what they want and expect from a Carmageddon game, and a new generation discovers the delights of sliding into a Cunning Stunt.”
