PGR3 Speed Pack released

12 new cars.

As promised, Bizarre Creations has released the PGR3 "Speed Pack" over Xbox Live Marketplace - giving you the chance to try out 12 new cars "and some cool gameplay enhancements".

The Speed Pack retails for 400 Microsoft points - around £3.40 - and consists of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi RS 4, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Lamborghini Gallardo SE, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, Nissan NISMO R34GT-R Z-Tune, Pontiac GTO, Radical SR8, RUF RT12 and Saleen S7 Twin Turbo.

That said, Bizarre's also made it possible for you to download the cars individually for 60 Microsoft points if you'd prefer not to buy the lot all in one go - although obviously it'll be considerably cheaper to do so if you want more than a handful.

It's not all premium content though - in order to whet your appetite, Bizarre's made the first of those cars, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, available as a free download to give you an idea of what you can expect.

The Speed Pack, of course, arrives in time to get you ready for the PGR3 global tournament Microsoft recently announced - winners of which will be transported to Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy to race around the Lamborghini factory.

Meanwhile, PGR3 players will also notice a small auto-update when they next fire things up, which presumably patches the game so it can see the new cars even if you don't buy them. There's no clear word on what else the Speed Pack/auto-update do, so keep an eye on the BizarreOnline forums for more information.
