NFS: Shift gets Exotic DLC next week

By Robert Purchese Published 10 March, 2010

Seven curvy cars, one voluptuous track.

Several snazzy supercars and one raunchy racetrack will be available for Need for Speed: Shift next Thursday, 18th March.

Stuffed in the Exotic Racing Series pack, these will cost 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80/€9.60) on Xbox Live or $10 from the PlayStation Store.

The new cars are an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, BMW M1 Procar, Gumpert Apollo, Honda NSX, McLaren MP4-12C, Maserati GranTurismo S and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss.

Swoon.

Each of these dazzling motors has had challenges crafted for them, totalling around 50 and including time trials and sprints.

The new course, Riviera, has "daring" corners, "blazing" straights and four layouts to stop you getting bored.

There are 125 extra gamerpoints on offer to those that complete every aspect of the DLC.

Need for Speed: Shift took the series onto the racetrack and off of the streets. The game launched last autumn and performed well. The next Need for Speed game will be developed by Burnout creator Criterion. Excitement abounds.

Anyway, our Need for Speed: Shift review fills in the blanks.

    The Gumpert is pure awesome (apart from the name).

    ....& the looks. :D

    I'll be getting this. Wasnt bothered about the Ferrari one as im not much of a fan of their cars, this seems a bit more interesting. Its great how they add extra SP events. Its how it should be done to give you a proper reason to use all the new cars & to add extra life to the game as DLC should.

    They've sure as hell been quick on the trigger with that new McLaren. It's not even expected to go into production until next year.

    I guess it might be time to hook my G25 up to my PS3 again then - even though I've gone back to PC again the last two months for racing (clocking in a lot of hours in iRacing at the moment, and a few here and there in GTR Evolution).
