NFS The Run: Audi RS 4

Back in 2006, the Audi RS4 Sedan was sold in very limited quantities as a wagon in Europe. Built on Audi’s B7 platform, the RS 4 is the perfect combination for those that want great power and superior handling. The 414hp V8 will keep you in the race against other monster engines you’ll be challenging. With the Audi’s all-wheel-drive system you will have a large advantage over your competition. Audi tuned the RS 4 with a larger rear torque bias than any Audi before, to reduce understeer and give this sleeper the handling to go with the power. Also, with more aggressive exterior styling, including wider fenders and a spoiler, it won’t be mistaken for anything else on the road, but also won’t scream for attention. The Audi RS 4 makes an incredible all-around car for The Run.

NFS The Run: Audi Quattro 20 V

The Audi Quattro is best-known for its rally history, when it was first produced the designers had come out with some major automotive breakthroughs. First, it was the first manufactured car by Audi to feature the Quattro permanent four wheel drive system, as well as being the first car on Earth to mate a turbocharged engine to a four wheel drive system. Its inline 5-cylinder engine kicks out 217 horsepower and runs from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Considering that this car has been out of production for two decades, the Audi Quattro 20 V was ahead of its time.

NFS The Run: El Camino SS

With The Run closing in on its last month before release, we have gone old school, with today’s new car reveal we go back to 1970 with the El Camino SS loaded with a powerful 454 Engine. Even if the El Camino is more truck than car, it was based on the Chevelle platform. Part Truck, Part Car, all power. With 450hp running the quarter-mile in less than fourteen seconds, you will have the opportunity to drive this classic at your hearts desire. This El Camino is a perfect “sleeper” for anyone looking to race with something a little different.

Leaving Colorado means one thing, traveling down the Million Dollar Highway. Steep cliffs, hairpin curves, narrow lanes and a lack of guardrails make this route hazardous to even the safest drivers. But with $25 million at stake and your life on the line, being safe is the last priority. You have to thread through traffic and pass your rivals at 10,000 feet, but racing on the edge means being fearless and aggressive.
