Hot Pursuit Porsche Pack Races Revealed

by GT3x24x7 at 10:08 • Comment (1)

Fire up Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (v1.2) on your PS3 or XBox today and check the career mode - you may see a new Porsche Pack racer location containing five new races on the map. These will of course be unlocked by purchasing the Porsche Park DLC announced yesterday and due for release on March 8, and is the third of three upcoming packs for PS3 and Xbox to be released in the next few weeks.



Here are the details of the races on offer:



[b]Previous Conviction[/b] - Hot Pursuit / Sports Series / Day / 16.9km

[i]'Age before Beauty' - the 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo has both and is easily the equal of the modern Sports car. The Cops and other Racers had better watch out, this classic German Sports car is fitted with a full range of equipment and has something to prove.[/i]



[b]Fast Lane[/b] - Race / Super Series / Night / 22.8km

[i]Choose your off-road shortcuts wisely in this race along Rockingham and Eagle Crest - the road going Porsche 959 will lose less speed on the loose stuff thanks to its clever all-wheel-drive power delivery, but there are treacherous turns to catch out the less skilled drivers.[/i]



[b]Barnstormer[/b] - Gauntlet / Super Series / Night, Wet / 13.5km

[i]Roof down driving is a refreshing experience - even more so if it is raining! It looks like the rain might be clearing up but the rain is nothing compared to the spray a SCPD helicopter can produce. Keep an eye on the sky as the Cops turn up the heat in this rain-soaked Gauntlet.[/i]



[b]Sunset Racers[/b] - Race / Super Series / Day / 31.5km

[i]Hit the road in a Porsche of your choice and race around this epic circuit through the heart of Seacrest County. Will you be first to cross the finish line as the light begins to fade?[/i]



[b]Road to Ruin[/b] - Hot Pursuit / Super Series / Night / 20.7km

[i]The cops have been on your tail for some time now and there is a sizable file in the SCPD's headquarters with your name on it. Now that they are out to get you once and for all and will do everything in their power to make the arrest.[/i]





Now we're not quite sure whether this possible glitch is intentional on Criterion's part, but given that this pack is actually the last of the three to drop, that extra untouchable race location on the map could become very tantalising over the next few weeks! Heck, we want it already.
