Premium cars for Test Drive 360

By Tom Bramwell Published 12 March, 2007

And a Hardcore Mode.

Last Thursday's news... today! Or, rather, more Xbox Live updates that we were too busy to mention last week. So: Test Drive Unlimited has been boosted by the addition of a new car pack (including a freebie taster car) and a new "Hardcore Mode" that gives owners of the Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel incentive to plug it in again.

First up is the Test Drive Racers Guild #2 Download Set, the contents of which presumably roll into garages across Oahu with greater ease than the name rolls off the tongue. It's 350 Microsoft points (GBP 2.98 / EUR 4.07) and introduces the Ferrari F40, CHRYSLER Crossfire SRT6 Roadster, RUF Rturbo, Audi S6, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 1971, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Cadillac CTS-V according to Xbox Live's Major Nelson. The Cadillac CTS-V can be had for free as a separate download, too.

Meanwhile, Hardcore Mode (160 points - GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.86) introduces challenges specifically designed for the Wireless Racing Wheel. Also playable with the standard control, they introduce "ultra-realistic driving physics". Don't be alarmed though - the Force Feedback support that Wireless Racing Wheel fans have been hankering for downloads automatically as a title update (patch) whether you buy the Hardcore Mode or not.
