Need for Speed SHIFT Team Racing Pack Announced

It’s been a couple of months in the making but now we’re finally able to reveal the contents of the upcoming (and free!) Need for Speed SHIFT Team Racing Pack.

 

The content is broken down into two sections: the first is a new online Team Racing mode which pits Team Red vs Team Blue in an intense battle for track domination. With the new pack you can join your friends and fight for the right to be called king of the track. All cars are stock; no vinyls, no works package, no modifications of any kind just a wicked combination of skill teamwork.

 

Create a team, invite your friends and race using any means necessary to come out on top. Don’t kid yourself, your opponents will be trying every move in the book to get ahead – it’s up to you to fight them off and take the podium.

 

The second element of the pack is a range of new cars. When we were looking at which cars to add we went through all the emails, comments and forums to see which were the most requested cars and worked hard to get them into the new pack.

 

By far the most popular was the Toyota Supra so we’re very happy to reveal that the ’98 Supra will be returning to Need for Speed very soon.

 

After the requests for the Supra is was clear people really wanted to see more American Muscle back in the game so we brought back four legendary muscle cars from a time when cubic inches were king. Once downloaded you’ll be able to get behind the wheels of some of the finest cars Detroit has ever produced.

 

We'll be taking a closer look at each of the cars in the following week but here is just a quick snapshot of what you've got to look forward to.

 

The Team Racing Pack is available December 1 on Xbox 360 and PC and December 3 on PlayStation 3 in Europe. North American gamers will having to wait until December 10th. It is a FREE download.

1967 Shelby GT500

 


1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

 

 

1969 Dodge Charger R/T

Just curious, why do we (US PS3) have to wait so much longer than everyone else for this DLC? Ten days after the Xbox is quite excessive, don't you think?

I wonder , why isn't there an Opel or something in the game. They do actually have cars that participate in races, and have some really nice cars.

Sooo. on the ps3, will this be automatically updated?


nid2273572194 .

and the drag racing should be there :-/

i agree on the civic hatch, good car

SUPRA!!!!! Im amped for it, but...I honestly feel that SHIFT needs to bring back the civic hatch from Prostreet or maybe even the EG civic hatch as opposed to the EK hatch that NFS used in Prostreet. I would also like to see the Dodge SRT-4 (I've seen alot of those at the track), Also how about some other drift cars like the Pontiac Solstice GXP or the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. A 300ZX TT would be nice to see...Cars you actually see on the track would be nice to see...I dont think i can ever remember seeing a CCX or a Veyron at the track lol. A few others that would be nice...the Lexus IS 250/350, Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, Integra Type R, Mazdaspeed 3 or 6, 2003 Mustang Cobra, The newest STi...I can go on and on with a list of cars I would love to be behind the wheel of virtually lol. But how bout another quick question...What happened to Drag Racing?

Nice! I love those cars <3


nid2260805295 .

now.. if they could of added the Fox bodied Mustang.. say the 1993 SVT Cobra ....
out of all the car racing games i have seen.. the only one that has the 5.0 in it, was Ford Vs Chevy on the Xbox 1 ...

Sweet! Very unexpected especially since the game just came out. The new cars look awesome.
However, there are still some major bugs with the game they should fix first. The EA Messenger friends thing doesn't work half the time on PC. I can almost never send invites to my friends to come play in a lobby, we basically have to join a server at the EXACT SAME TIME. This is ridiculous IMO. Also, people go off the track and still going at the same speed as you even though your ON the track. Fix those two issues and I'll play this game every day and night. :c)
