7 PS3-exclusive supercars featured in Need for Speed: The Run

EA has today revealed via the PS Blog that Need for Speed: The Run will feature 7 PlayStation 3 exclusive supercars that won’t show up on other platforms. 

While you can find the full list of PS3-only cars below, EA has also gone ahead and posted the specs for two of the seven supercars appearing on Sony’s home console.

 – Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

 – Hennessey Venom GT

 – GUMPERT apollo s

 – Lamborghini Countach QV5000

 – Koenigsegg Agera R

 – Lexus LFA

Lexus enters the world of 200mph supercars with the LFA. Helping push it over the 200mph barrier is a 4.8L V10 and a carbon fiber frame to minimizing weight. The engine can go from idle to redline in 0.6 seconds, forcing Lexus engineers to use a digital display because the needle wasn’t fast enough. In Need for Speed The Run, hear what is described as “the roar of an angel” as the Lexus LFA battles it out with the fastest supercars in the world.

 – Porsche Carrera GT

With an engine originally designed to be an endurance racing prototype, the Porsche Carrera GT is a 200mph bullet. Production ran from 2004-2006, but the mid-engine V10 is hardly forgotten. Boasting 604hp, 15-inch brakes and an automated spoiler that adjusts above 70mph, the Carrera GT is as beautiful in its design as it is in its sound. In The Run, you’ll find yourself turning up the volume just so you can hear the incredible whine coming from the dual exhaust pipes.

Need for Speed: The Run will be released next week.
