Kiss my shiny metal gas(-guzzler).
Gosh -- the cars in the upcoming GRID 2 are so exquisitely curved and shiny that I kind of want to stick my weathered old Honda Civic in there for "character." Then again, I'm guessing my humble sedan can't rev quite like the babies in this new gameplay trailer do.
I'm not really sure what the acronyms that make up most of these car names mean, but I think the press release is trying to tell us that these cars are beastly.
GRID 2's Road Racing locations are represented as cars including the BMW E30 M3 Sport Evolution, Ford Mustang Mach 1 and Chevrolet Camaro Z28 RS SS 1970 race head-to-head on the California Coast. Track Racing is shown at Austria's Red Bull Ring, where the Ariel Atom 3, BAC Mono and KTM X-Bow R go flat out around this historic circuit.
Street Racing, meanwhile, is shown in Paris, as marques including the McLaren MP4-12C, Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG and Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition tear around the Arc de Triumph. Hot hatches including the Alfa Romeo Giuletta and Ford Focus ST race into the night in Barcelona and stunning cars including the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Nismo Z Tune, Pagani Huayra, Koenigsegg Agera R and more charge through Chicago.
GRID 2 will see us showing off our virtual rides in locations as diverse as Chicago, Abu Dhabi, California, and Paris. You know, with scenery like that, I'd've been content even if GRID 2 gave us just a tuk-tuk to get around in. Anyway, it comes out of the showroom and onto the streets on May 31 -- in the meantime, revel in the sheen of these screenshots.
