Need for Speed: The RUN

Need for Speed: The RUN


Prepare for the biggest cross-country race from San Francisco to New York that will leave your hearts shattered, sending your minds in spiral, and it will leave you in excessive daydreaming about this greatest battle of your life.

Need for Speed: The RUN, takes players on the role of Jack Rourke, a man who is taking on The RUN, a cross-country race from San Francisco to New York with no rules, no speed limits, zero allies! Be warned. Cops and villains want you dead and the reason why you're taking the risk is because you want to correct the biggest mistake you have done.

This game is all about survival of the fastest. You are Jack's competitive edge and you must take out your rivals in this cross-country bloodbath from The Golden Gate Bridge to The Empire State Building, surviving against the villains who want you dead, the cops who are chasing you, and of course the forces of nature. How far can you survive in this 3000 miles of hell?

The biggest stars of NFS: The RUN are the cars themselves. A half-a-century of cars is all you need if you want to get through New York with a selection of tuners, muscles, and exotics from Europe, America, and Asia. Drift through tight curves with the Toyota AE86, get through straight corners with the Boss 302 Mustang, or go all out with the Bugatti Veyron. There are a selection of cars you want to shove it down your rivals throat either on Story Mode, Challenge Series, or online!

With NFS Autolog, every second counts and Autolog monitors your every progress and see if you are the fastest person who made it from San Francisco to New York. Happily though, you can take photos, challenge against your rivals based on your skill, and show everyone who's boss.

Want to unlock all the cars and challenges but being lazy enough to progress through The RUN? Don't worry though that the Time Savers Pack is coming! The Time Savers Pack is a DLC that allows you to unlock most of the stuff that can be earned through the normal game progression. Maybe here's your chance to try out the Pagani Huayra you're dreaming about?

Don't forget that two Sports Illustrated swimsuit models Irina Shayk and Chrissy Teigen are making special appearances on The RUN because hot cars and women do really have a one-two combo.

NFS The Run stars Sean Faris from The Vampire Diaries as Jack Rourke and Christina Hendricks from Mad Men and Drive as Sam Harper.

LIMITED EDITION:
Want to have the edge to get through New York? NFS The RUN Limited Edition gives you access to the latest vehicles such as the ferocious Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and for the first time, you can try out the all new 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S (Type 991)! Exclusive on the PS3 version, you can take advantage of the hottest cars such as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Hennessey Venom GT, Gumpert Apollo Sports, Lamborghini Countach QV5000, Koenigsegg Agera R, Lexus LFA, and the Porsche Carrera GT. This is as explosive as the trailer Michael Bay made it...

Hyundai Genesis/Rohens Coupe Minor Change

Since its arrival in October 2008 as a 2009 model, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (현대 제네시스 쿠페) really throws a curve to the Korean automaker as the brand's first FR sports coupe that uses the FR layout from the Genesis sedan. This was known to be a low-cost FR sports coupe that makes car aficionados purchasing it because they don't have enough money to buy the Nissan Fairlady Z, Infiniti G37 Coupe (Nissan Skyline Coupe), Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, or luxury ones like the BMW 3-Series Coupe or Audi A5. To stay true to the Hyundai slogan "New Thinking, New Possibilities", the Genesis Coupe finally deserved its first minor change after being on service for three years.


2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe



2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe interior


The revised 2012MY (US 2013MY) Hyundai Genesis Coupe brings this affordable sports car up the ante in today's trends and this facelifted model adopts Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture starting with the exterior cues that uses Hyundai's Design DNA. It features a Veloster-inspired front face and a mildly revised rear view that keeps this low-cost sportscar sleek and sporty to meet the trends of tomorrow. It's now lust-worthy, feisty, and sharp like a schoolgirl who has a body of a 25-year-old supermodel. Yes, mom, this is what we do at work.

What's surprisingly that the interior is heavily revised that was inspired from the Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z (370Z). This new interior provides loads on conveniences that keeps the inner driver happy such as a tilted and telescopic steering wheel, JBL Audio System, available DMB navigation system, USB connectivity, and front seats that can be stowed down to provide access to the rear seats. This is how luxury redefined in a hot car that was made by aficionados, for aficionados.

The new Genesis Coupe offers two new engines that brings liberated performance and refined fuel economy than the previous model. The new GDi 3.8L V6 engine equipped on the 380GT variant produces 350 horsepower of power and 40.8kg.m of torque. This helps the Genesis Coupe 380GT go from 0-100kph in 5.9 seconds and achieve 10.3km/l of fuel economy by a 6-speed manual and 9.6km/l by an 8-speed paddle shift transmission. The turbocharged 2.0 TCi engine on the Genesis Coupe 200 Turbo produces 275 horsepower of power and 38.2kg.m of torque. This helps the Genesis Coupe 200 Turbo go from 0-100km in 7.2 seconds and achieve 11.0km/l of fuel economy by a 6-speed MT and 10.9km/l by an 8-speed paddle shift AT.

The 2012MY (US 2013MY) Genesis Coupe is available in 7 colors: Cream White, Blue Shift, Horizon Blue, Super Red, Crystal Cooper, Magnetic Gray, and Timeless Black.

My Comment:
The redesigned Genesis Coupe really puts the glamour in this low-cost, Korean-made, premium sports coupe that is somewhat proven to be decent but rubbish in performance. Seems that it sacrificed its looks and this new model wants to be taken seriously. This new Genesis Coupe is now focused on the perfect balance of performance and fuel economy that this low-cost sports car would offer for the aficionados worldwide. Now, if only The Stig could drive the Genesis Coupe, oh wait, there is such thing as Top Gear Korea so there's a chance we could see The Stig driving the new Genesis Coupe...

This is the car you could getaway from it all...

BMW Z4 GT3 in FM4

Shooting for a next Top Gear episode
featuring the Z4 GT3!


What is the Z4 GT3?
The BMW Z4 GT3 is a track-only version of the BMW Z4 E89 that was made to satisfy customers, mostly private racing teams, to compete in various championships in accordance with GT3 regulations. As of January 2011, it achieved big when Claudia Hurtgen, Augusto Farfus, Tommy Miller, and Edward Sandstrom won the Dubai 24 Hours for Team Schubert. It's the first win in a marathon race, proving its potential with wins in its first appearance in the FIA GT3 European Championship. It was powered by a 4.4L V8 engine that produces 530HP of power and 383lb-ft of torque. Because most of its components are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), the BMW Z4 GT3 weighs 2,646lbs and it has a 50:50 weight balance, capable of being a proper decent handling racer.

The Stig tries out the Hatsune Miku Good Smile BMW Z4!

Forza player, Akasaka Mitsuke, recreated the Hatsune Miku Super GT BMW Z4 used in the 2011 Super GT season and most Japanese Forza 4 players were so impressed why did this FM4 player spent most of the time recreating the Super GT racer used in the 2011 season packed with everything Miku and Good Smile Racing. So good, even the Japanese otakus start asking how did a Forza player recreated this Super GT masterpiece.

F1 2011 Semi-Finals

The 2011 Formula One Semi Finals, held at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit packed a big suspense and F1 2011 World Champ Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull Racing spun himself, causing him an early retire after his F1 got a puncture damage at the second corner. Not only Vettel caused problems at Yas Marina, but also Jerome D'Ambrosio who got retired for braking problems, Daniel Ricciardo for electrical problems, and Sebastien Buemi for hydraulics problems.

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton emerged as the Abu Dhabi GP winner while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso snagged 2nd place while McLaren's Jenson Button placed 3rd.


So, here it is. Ready for the Formula One 2011 Finals in Brazil this November 27? See you there!
