EA will be posting the Dev’s Gamertags and PSN IDs on November 17th, but get your calendar cleared now, because these guys are ready to Race For Their Lives!
With the Lexus LFA being the next supercar to battle in the world of 200mph automobiles. The 4.8L V10 engine and lightweight carbon fibre frame to minimize weight helps to push this Lexus over the 200mph barrier. The engine can go from idle to redline in 0.6 seconds, forcing Lexus engineers to use a digital display because the needle wasn’t fast enough. In Need for Speed The Run, hear what is described as “the roar of an angel” as the Lexus LFA battles it out with the fastest supercars in the world.
Powered by a 5.7L V10 which develops 604hp, the Porsche Carrera GT, produced from 2004 to 2006, is able to stick you to your seat with its top speed of 330 kph. This german nuclear missile makes its way into The Run where you will find an obvious pleasure to drive it at high speeds through the USA. It will be available on the PS3 versions of The Run.
Yet another Playstation 3 Exclusive. One of the great classic supercars, the Lamborghini Countach had one of the most futuristic designs of its time. The 5000QV model was released in 1985, and featured an improved engine over previous iterations, bumping the V12 up to 5.2 liters of pure adrenaline. The engine also incorporated a 4-valve cylinder head called “quattro-valvole,” giving it the QV name. In Need for Speed The Run, enjoy beating modern supercars with one nearly 30 years old!
First unveiled in 2006, the Koenigsegg CCX was a marvel to car engineering, since then the company has produced many more hyper cars, in 2011, Koenigsegg did it again with the Agera R, which is unofficially (so far) the fastest car in the world today, even surpassing the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with a theoretical speed of 275mph. The Agera R runs on biofuel rather than high octane gasoline, however it is able to run on normal 95 octane fuels, but power output is cut by about 100hp and 100 lb-ft of torque. The Agera R uses an in-house developed 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine which helps it accelerate with a 0-62mph time of just 2.9 seconds. With those blazing speeds in mind, instead of lifting on hydraulics, the wing on the Agera R is designed to use the pressure of the wind created at high speeds to force the wing downward and create wind resistance. In The Run, challenge your friends and see who really does have the faster hypercar.
Yet another Playstation 3 exclusive. This time the amazing Gumpert Apollo S.
A car with so much downforce, that it can be driven on the roof of a tunnel at high-speed. That’s what GUMPERT claims with the apollo s, and although that’s yet to be tested, it’s hard to argue with how the apollo s is designed. The s model adds another 50hp, while the transmission shifts gears at a breakneck 40 milliseconds. The exterior is polarizing to some, but there’s no denying that it will eat up highways in The Run, and perhaps someday, the roofs of tunnels.
