The Wait Is Now Over, Coming To pCARS Are New Motors
Last week we discussed the upcoming car and track pack coming to Project Cars. Well... it's no longer upcoming, instead, it's now released almost here! It should be hitting your PC, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 at this very moment (if this very moment is Jan 29th). With this latest pack we get the flavour of StanceWorks, the insanity of Mad Mike, and the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, which we'll talk more about below. But first, check out this tasty trailer:
What an incredible trailer, and I'm not just saying that because 60FPS makes me happy. Now, you're probably ready for the deets (details).
The Cars
The Freebie: From Australia's mental V8 Supercars series, the 2014 season's Ford Falcon FG. It has a large V8, rear wheel drive, and is used to racing around tracks like Bathurst. What more do you need to know?!
The Austrian: No, we don't mean Arnold Schwarzenegger... or that other guy. KTM's first dive into the waters of sports car manufacturing, the KTM X-Bow R. 300bhp in a car that weighs only 790kg. Not bad for a first attempt.
The Drifter: The crazy, mental, insane MX-5 RadBul Formula Drift owned by the legendary and probably kinda' nuts Mad Mike Whiddett. This thing's got a 26B engine, and if you're as clueless about Mazda engines as I am you'll have no idea what that is. It's a 4-rotor Wankel engine. I bet that clears things up a bit. Well that doesn't matter anyway, it makes braaaap braaaap noises and has a lot of power.
The New Kid: The BMW 1-Series M-Coupe, a sort-of spiritual successor to the classic 2002. StanceWorks turned the 1M into a purpose-built, GT3-inspired racer, and it probably breathes fire. StanceWorks have designed a full kit for this beast, making it look really mean. And it's no sheep in wolf's clothing either, it's putting out 460 of Munich's finest horses.
The Old Fart: Inspired by the legendary FIA cars, the 2002 features Group 2 bodywork with boxed fenders, nixed bumpers, and M1 Procar-inspired mirrors. And if that's not enough to excite you, it literally has a Formula 2 engine. No seriously, a high-revving BMW M12 is under the hood, waiting for you to thrash it.
The Track
We've waited years, and now it's here. Or maybe you didn't know it existed, well either way, it's here. Bannochbrae takes you through 4.5 miles of roads situated in the Scottish Highlands, a country legendary for it's twisty, challenging driving roads and of course, a certain famous Loch. Whether or not there is a monster in the waters of the "Misty Loch", I can't tell you. No one knows for sure.
