Need for Speed: Shift revs up with all-new team racing mode and cars

Electronic Arts today announced an all-new Team Racing pack for the critically-acclaimed Need for Speed: Shift. The content pack takes online racing to the next level with an action-packed new race mode and five renowned racing cars - all for free (Need for Speed: Shift and Xbox LIVE or PlayStationNetwork account required). The Team Racing pack is the first downloadable content for Need for Speed: Shift and will be available worldwide on December 1st on the Xbox 360. The pack will be released for the PlayStation3 on December 3rd in Europe and on December 10th in North America.

The Team Racing mode brings a fresh new challenge to Shift by completely redefining online racing. In this mode, two teams of up to six racers will battle against each other for online supremacy. Individual driving strategy and playing it safe won’t work as team tactics and 200 mph split-second decisions are required to push your team to the podium.

As part of the new content, players will also get access to these legendary racers:

• 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427


• 1967 Shelby GT-500


• 1969 Dodge Charger R/T


• 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T


• 1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV
