Shift 2 Unleashed "Speedhunters" DLC Now Available

The Speedhunters content pack for Shift 2 Unleashed is now available for Xbox 360 via Xbox LIVE and will soon be available for PlayStation 3 owners via PlayStation Network.

The Speedhunters content pack contains two new branches including Drag and Standing mile. Each branch features nine new events, where players will only be able to use the manual gear change. Traction control features will be turned off and the HUD will display a new rev counter and gear indicator. Drag judges the fastest time over a quarter mile stretch, and Standing Mile judges the fastest speed achieved over a mile stretch. Both branches allows for new high-power customization options where players can create 1,000 horsepower engines capable of reaching speeds of over 250 mph.

One thing to note about the new modes; players will only be able to use the manual gear change so that they can really feel what it’s like to be in the driver’s seat. This means the traction control will be forced off and the HUD will display a new rev counter and gear indicator.
