As one of the oldest courses in the game this is a welcome addition for any gamer looking for a tough but rewarding challenge.

Need for Speed SHIFT has 72 of the fastest, most innovative and beautiful cars on the road and tracks today, as well as 19 beautifully-rendered tracks that can be raced more than 50 different ways, including Donington Park and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Sit your driver down in any of the cars in SHIFT and you’ll see how many thousands of hours went into designing the interiors of your favorite car. From the trademark blue-red color mosaic in the Volkswagen GTI’s gages to the swooping arches of the Mazda RX-8s audio system, it’s all there.
