March 16, 2010 - Imagine that you could download a brand-new, fully featured, online multiplayer-enabled, high-definition copy of Need For Speed directly to your PC and play it with your friends for free. Would you do it?
Electronic Arts is betting you will, and it's going all-out to make sure it will be worth your while. Need For Speed World is being developed by EA Black Box and EA Singapore as essentially a free-to-play racing MMO set in the world of the popular racing franchise. EA was showing off an early version of Need For Speed in San Francisco during the Game Developers Conference this month, and Ryan Geddes kicked the tires.
For almost two months the Need for Speed World community has been waiting for the Porsche Carrera GT to be released in Need for Speed World. The wait is finally over and the GT will be available on Thursday, September 27th.
The Porsche Carrera GT is a mid-engine monster with 612 horsepower and 435 lb•ft produced by a 5.7 liter V10 engine. It can hit 60 MPH in just 3.6 seconds, 100 MPH in 7.3 seconds and achieve speeds over 220 MPH! Its development can be traced all the way back to the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. An interesting fact about the Carrera GT is that it was originally supposed to be built using a Flat-6 engine but was later redesigned for their new V10. All Carrera GT's are were built at Porsche's manufacturing facility in Leipzig and by the end of their run a total of 1,270 of them were built
VVV: "For most people, the name 'Marussia' springs to mind thoughts of the relatively new Formula One team. However, Marussia is also a maker of high performance sports cars, and has just announced a new partnership with the free-to-play online racer 'Need for Speed World'."
for once it would be nice if NEED FOR SPEED car could actully out run a damn cop car without catching up shit!
TheBottomTicker writes, "The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV and its show-stoping V12 power is now available in Need for Speed World. The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV features the iconic scissor lift doors and well over 400hp on tap, giving you the extra power to launch you off hte line and take you into first place."
