Now we have more great news for our readers, as the new ‘Speedhunters’ DLC pack has just been detailed. According to a recent article by Tom Ivan over on the computerandvideogames.com website, the ‘Speedhunters’ DLC pack will be arriving next Tuesday, May 17th.

The ‘Speedhunters’ pack features new cars, new tracks and even new game modes. EA says that the upcoming pack – which will cost 800 MS Points on Xbox Live and £7.99 on PSN – is inspired by the expansive network of drivers, journalists and photographers at Speedhunters.com.

Players will be provided with two new branches in the upcoming DLC, including Standing Mile and Drag. Each branch includes nine new events, where gamers will only be able to use manual gear change. Both branches also enable high power customization options.

Cars in the upcoming ‘Speedhunters’ DLC pack include Dodge Challenger R/T, Lexus LFA, Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION IX MR-edition, Mazda RX-7 (FC3S), Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) and Toyota Supra. New tracks include Nevada Drag Strip, Agueda Aerodrome and Miyatoma Mile.

The gameplay footage gives a nice view of what to expect when you buy Shift 2 because it takes you round one whole lap of the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca track while teasing you with stunning visuals that let you see the graphic details from an inside-the-car view.

Shift 2: Unleashed will be the first game in the Need for Speed series to feature more than 100 cars, (145 in total from 36 manufacturers), also there will be 35 different tracks to race on. If this wasn’t enough info to tempt you into buying it, the video embedded below should make you want to buy the game with the whole race chair and steering wheel setup because it looks a lot more fun than using a standard controller.

The popular racing title has granted us access to the new supercar in their upcoming title set for release March 29 to America and March 24 for Europeans and is something to look forward to in this series due to the huge emphasis on the exclusivity of this supercar to EA’s title.

If the 140+ cars that made it to the game wasn’t enough to excite you, the arrival of this 700 horsepower, V12 speed demon should surely raise your anticipation for this release. If you’re not reaching 60mph by 3.5 seconds, there is something wrong with your game pad because judging by the screenshots and trailer (embedded at the end of this post) available promoting this addition, EA have been trying to make the car as lifelike as possible and to their credit, it does look pretty stunning in-game.

The news has only made us more eager to catch the game on release and jump into the virtual seat of the Pagani. Does the Pagani’s entrance into the game excite you more about buying the title or do you have other views about Shift 2? Let us know in the comments section below

As Joe Anderson over at vg247.com recently reported, the video – which was taken from the latest GTTV and can be viewed below this post – shows us footage taken directly from the game, showing off the team Need for Speed BMW Z4GT3 speeding around the streets of Miami.

The video also reveals a little more information about the “Boss Challenge Modes,” which sees players taking on real racing drivers in various challenges such as endurance, drift and time attack. Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed will be released on March 25th in the UK and March 29th in the US.

Judging by the video, it looks like both Electronic Arts and Slightly Mad Studios are taking aim at fellow racing simulators Gran Turismo 5 and Forza. In fact, according to a previous article by Mike Jackson over at computerandvideogames.com, EA claims that Shift 2: Unleashed is the most realistic racer ever.

Do you think that the Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed game will be the most realistic racer ever? Which racing franchise do you prefer: Gran Turismo, Forza or Need for Speed?
