HRE In The Virtual World: Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

In the racing world, HRE Wheels can be found in just about every type of motosport. For those of us who don’t drive race cars for a living, the next best thing is to compete in the virtual world. Enter the newest release from our friends at EA Games, Need For Speed SHIFT 2 Unleashed. For this installment they’ve nailed the complete experience, from incredibly accurate recreations of famous race cars to perfecting the feel, feedback and response of different cars on a variety of tracks. Fortunately drifting is just one of the choices in this game and you can’t have a drifting game without Vaughn Gittin Jr. in his HRE equipped Monster Energy Falken Tire Mustang.

JR’s car in the game features the same HRE C90 Wheels used in competition. Accorrding to Gittin,”The game’s engineers and artists have done an incredible job replicating my Formula Drift Championship winning Monster Energy Falken Tire Ford Mustang into the game. Not only does it look the part, but it’s handling and throttle response are pretty much as crazy in-game as it is in real life.”

This sequel of the NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT series is shaping up to be one of the most realistic and cutting edge racing games to date. We look forward to seeing other HRE equipped cars in the game including the World Racing’s SCION TC time attack car driven by Chris Rado. Keep an eye out for its release soon! Special thanks to our friends at SpeedHunters for the details and photos.
