The Hennessey Venom GT is a high-performance car based on a modified Lotus Exige chassis. The twin-turbocharged GM V8 produces not less than 1200 horses and Hennessey claims it’s enough for the remarkably light vehicle to reach 440 kph. Get your copy of The Run for Playstation 3 and you could find yourself behind the wheel of this fantastic dream car!
While attending the Need For Speed Community Day event at EA Blackbox in Vancouver last October we were able to get some time with Alex Grimbley from the Need For Speed The Run development team and get a couple questions answered on video.

Being an owner of a Playstation 3 merits you a new reward, when you purchase Need for Speed: The Run, you will have exclusive access to the fastest car in the world. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport took the top spot back with a 267mph run on the famed VW Ehra-Lessien high-speed test track. The Super Sport has four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers included, they have improved the aerodynamics of the car to help the 1200hp behemoth reclaim the coveted title of fastest production car on the planet. Purchase the PS3 version of Need for Speed The Run and leave everyone behind in your tracks!

EA just announced the official soundtrack for The Run, so i thought before the rest comes up, i post this song here, since its on the list 😉

We’re only days away from The Run! While we’re still rolling out the final car unveils, we wanted you to see what songs you’ll be listening to as you speed across the United States.
However, unlike previous Need for Speed titles, the soundtrack isn’t a jukebox or radio that just plays songs as you go.
The soundtrack reflects our main character Jack’s experiences and races. It’s an integral part of the story of the game. Â The songs are seamlessly combined with a full score by Hollywood composer Brian Tyler (“Fast Five, Battle for Los Angeles”) to create the ultimate Need for Speed music experience. Â The soundtrack is strongly influenced by American regional styles, reflecting the San Francisco to New York race.
In other words, depending on where you are in the game, you’ll hear different songs to match the location, intensity, and mood of The Run!
Pretty cool, huh?

Only few cars in the world can claim to go from 0 to 100 kph under only 3 seconds. The V10-powered italian concept car by Lamborghini, the Sesto Elemento, adds to this achievement a striking top speed in excess of 300 kph, with the help of a massive use of carbon fiber, leading to an overall weight of around 1,000 kg. You will have a chance in few days to drive this very limited track-only vehicle.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG created an impact on the automotive world when debuted in 2010. With its a “Race Start” launch control, and a 3.8-second zero-sixty time, it is quite fitting to be one of the many cars available to utilize in The Run. Even though the SLS has made its mark on the tracks, you’ll want to tear through the streets and highways of the US in this powerful supercar. There is some inspiration taken from the classic 300SL Gullwing, but the mighty 6.3L V8 engine puts this AMG in deep competition against other popular and modern supercars.
After 30 years, the Boss returns! Ford launched many variations of the current generation of the Mustang, but the Boss 302 was the most iconic. The Boss 302 comes packing with a 5.0L V8 power plant, producing a monsterous 444 horsepower, already over 30hp more than the stock GT version. The Boss also includes an aerodynamic package which gives lovers of the classic ’69-’70 models a true feeling of nostalgia. You’ll get the most out of the Mustang Boss 302 in The Run when you hear the quad-exhaust as you leave the starting line. A sound so memorable you’ll have to smile.
