Cars in NFS: The Run - Announced

There are a few things more satisfying than outrunning the cops at 200mph. In Need For Speed The Run, that straight-line speed might be your only advantage because the Ford Police Interceptor Concept is not messing around. With more power than its predecessors and a toughness that allows even the wheels to withstand a 40mph impact against a curb, expect the cops to be hot on your tail far more often than you’re used to. Take note of how well they perform when they’re chasing you, because you never know when you’ll find yourself behind the wheel of one in The Run…

Built to beat the Italians on the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans, and overcome the aerodynamic inefficiencies of the Cobras, the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is an endurance racing legend. With only six built in a small shop in Venice, California, and one of the most gorgeous cars to come out of the 1960’s, the Shelby has forever made its mark on famous tracks like Le Mans, Sebring, and of course, Daytona. In Need For Speed The Run, the most grueling high-stakes race across America, you’ll want the blue and white-striped American endurance champion every step of the way.

Classic American Muscle. Is there any better way to describe the ’67 Chevrolet Camaro SS? On an all-new F-body platform, sporting a 396 big-block V8, the Camaro was a direct answer to the Mustang GT. The striping and badging makes the SS instantly recognizable, so when you see one coming up behind you in Need For Speed The Run, show respect to one of the greatest American sports cars ever built. Or better yet, drive it yourself during the most high-stakes race of your life!

A fan favorite with an engine and dual-clutch gearbox built by hand, the “Godzilla” GT-R SpecV (R35) is one of the most menacing Nissan’s ever created. Visually you can pick it out by its carbon exterior components. Internally, the titanium exhaust, reworked suspension, and carbon ceramic brakes all contribute to making it 132 lbs lighter than a stock GT-R. With a 0-60 in a blazing 3.2 seconds, and one of the fastest cars to ever go around the Nordscheife, the GT-R SpecV is going to be extremely popular in The Run!

When shoehorning its big brothers 520 horse V12 into its more compact engine bay, Aston Martin added carbon fiber hood louvers to assist in cooling the bigger engine. To give the faster Vantage more downforce, the team at Aston Martin also updated the front bumper and added a rear diffuser. Weight saving measures included giving it some carbon fibre bodywork including an all-carbon trunklid. The Vantage was already a visceral experience with the V8, just imagine it with 4 more cylinders and almost 100 more horsepower in The Run!

Following in the footsteps of the jaw-dropping Zonda, Pagani unveiled its second production car, the Huayra, with a Mercedes-AMG V12 bi-turbo that spits out over 700 horsepower. The mammoth engine has a seven-speed sequential gearbox that was selected over a dual-clutch to keep weight down. On the outside, the Huayra uses a remarkable aerodynamic system that engages flaps on the front and rear of the car to minimize drag while maximizing downforce. Sadly, it won’t go on sale until 2012, but you can reach its 230mph top speed when you race it cross-country in Need For Speed The Run.

Arguably the best handling car ever built due to its agility and balance, the Mazda RX-7 RZ has the ability to navigate the most complex turns, while maintaining an underrated 276hp to blast down the longest stretches of highway. Equipped with everything the RS version had, the RZ was given a few more tweaks including lighter weight, custom wheels, improved dampers, a new ECU and an ABS upgrade. At just 2800lbs, there’s plenty of power from the twin-turbocharged rotary engine to keep the Type RZ in the hunt for victory. The car was exclusive to Japan, but in Need For Speed The Run, the last generation of this Mazda is available to everyone!

One of the few models to receive the enormous LS6 454 CID engine was the El Camino SS, which was technically known as a coupe utility vehicle. Although it was classified as a truck, the 1970 El Camino SS was based on the Chevelle platform, had 450hp and could run the quarter-mile in less than fourteen seconds! In The Run, you’ll have this 7.4L V8 classic at your disposal, and is a perfect “sleeper” for anyone looking to race with something a little different.

Originally sold in very limited quantities in Europe as a wagon, the Audi RS4 sedan arrived in 2006. Built on Audi’s B7 platform, the RS 4 is the perfect combination for those that want ridiculous power and superior handling. A 414hp V8 will keep you in the hunt with the other monster engines you’ll be up against, but you’ll have a huge advantage with Audi’s all-wheel-drive system. 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 grunt. 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.

Originally a sedan, the coupe version of the GT-R appeared in 1970 and was an instant legend on the track. The Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (C10) removed all the extra weight from the sedan to make it as light as possible. Sporting the 2.0L S20 engine, fans of Nissans—and Skylines in particular—know this car as a classic. In The Run, those looking for style and function need to look no further than this Japanese import that’s ready to bring its impressive pedigree to the ultimate cross-country race.

After an iconic movie role in the late 70’s, Pontiac was riding a wave of popularity and the Firebird Formula was one of the attempts to capitalize on that. The classic F-body style, slanted nose and quad square headlamps gave it a unique look compared to other muscle cars of the time. A big 6.6L V8 gave the Firebird the distinctive character it needed to put it in the running with rival Chevys and Fords. In The Run, you’ll love rumbling past all 200 racers in this underrated Pontiac.

A car with roots firmly planted numerous racing series’, the Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86) also found its way to the top of drift world as a favorite among enthusiasts. With an ultra-light curb weight and rear-wheel drive setup, the challenging switchbacks of the Rockies will be handled with ease in the AE86. Commonly modified by the aftermarket crowd, the 4A-GE engine, originally designed for good fuel efficiency and performance, won’t hold you back in The Run as you slide past all of your rivals!

Ford developed an all new front suspension for the Focus RS, allowing it to cope with 325ft/lbs of torque, which is normally unheard of in a front-wheel-drive car. A turbocharged 2.5L 305hp engine powers the Focus RS, but it looks just as mean on the outside too. Incredibly aggressive styling is an ongoing theme throughout every body panel of the car. From the huge front grille to the massive spoiler, everything on this hatch oozes speed. There’s no mistaking that this car deserves the RS badge (reserved for the ultimate performance road cars), and to be in The Run.

A combination of the words evolution, vogue and aura, the Lotus Evora is the first all-new platform from the British manufacturer since 1995. With flowing lines and incredibly precise handling, the Evora is a stellar combination of elegance and performance. With a V6 (as opposed to the earlier 4-cylinder Lotuses), the Evora is a mid-engine sports car on an all-new chassis ready to make its mark. What better place to do it than a cross-country race from San Francisco to New York!

Completely redesigned from the previous 350Z, the Nissan 370Z is shorter, wider and more thrilling than its predecessor. The 332hp coupe also features SynchroRev Match, the world’s first synchronized down shift rev-matching system. By cutting weight and size while increasing power, Nissan has created a Z with solid power, and even better cornering. In The Run, expect the 370Z to be gripping even the tightest corners with ease.

Inspired and introduced by Formula Drift star Vaughn Gittin Jr., the Mustang RTR features 19-inch wheels, exclusive striping, and interior details. Gittin Jr. races a Mustang and this is his vision for introducing a new generation to it. What better way to compliment 560hp than install a Ford Racing exhaust and a Ford Handling pack? From the chin spoiler, to the rear diffuser, the RTR stands apart from all other Mustangs. In The Run, it’s throaty exhaust and clean exterior will make it unmistakable.

Once the fastest car on earth, the McLaren F1 is one of the most spectacular supercars in history. Only 106 exist, making them extremely rare for what was built as “the ultimate road car.” The F1 was the first production car to use a complete carbon fiber chassis, and has a single center seat with two passengers behind. With a top speed of 240mph, it’s amazing the McLaren F1 still has the small details, including full cabin air conditioning and stereo. However, in Need for Speed The Run, the stereo will be the last thing on your mind as you listen to the beautiful notes of the BMW V12.

As the name states, there are only five of the stunning Pagani Zonda Cinque’s in existence. It’s the first Pagani car to have a sequential gearbox using both paddles and a stick. It also uses Pagani’s own invention for the Cinque, carbon-titanium, to keep it feather-light. Other touches include a longer front splitter, redesigned rear wing, and extra air intakes for rear brakes. In The Run, with its AMG V12, almost nobody will be able to catch you!

A high-tech all-wheel-drive system, lightning fast shifts, and computers monitoring nearly every system have made the Nissan GT-R (R35) one of the fastest production cars on the planet regardless of price. It’s also one of the quickest production cars to ever lap the famed Nurburgring, thanks to its twin-turbo V6. The GT-R’s Tochigi factory is limited to 1,000 cars per month due to the intricate assembly of its engine and rear-mounted dual clutch gearbox, which are put together by hand. In Need for Speed The Run you’ll also be thankful for the all-wheel-drive as you blast across the United States taking corners at blazing speeds.

Over 30 years later, the Boss is back! Ford has more than a few variations of the current generation Mustang, but everyone knows the Boss 302. The 2012 version packs a whopping 5.0L V8 with a racing intake, giving it a stellar 444 horsepower. That’s over 30hp more than the stock GT version, and gives it an aero package that will have lovers of the classic ’69-’70 models feeling right at home. Need for Speed The Run will have you getting the most out of the Mustang Boss 302, and when you hear that quad-exhaust note, you’ll have to smile.

The fastest car in the world. What more is there to say about the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport? The addition of 199hp put the Veyron back on top as it hit 267mph on the famed VW Ehra-Lessien high-speed test track. The Super Sport comes with four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers, as well as an improved aero package to give this 1200hp behemoth the coveted title of fastest production car on the planet. In Need for Speed The Run, get ready to leave everyone in your tracks!

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.

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!

Lexus enters the world of 200mph supercars with the LFA. Helping push it over the 200mph barrier is a 4.8L V10 and a carbon fiber frame to minimizing weight. 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.
