While Gran Turismo 6 players were treated to a free download of the all-new BMW M4 , which they could lightly tune (for now) to over 500 hp and then try to hit all the apexes with, those who play Need for Speed: Rivals got a different sports car surprise, in the form of the all-new Ford Mustang GT that became available in the game.
However, the people who calibrated its handling and performance seem to have overcooked it a bit… Even if it has over 420 hp from its revised V8 engine, it could never realistically hold and reach 200 mph (320 km/h), yet it does so in the game, and if you use the nitrous, it will nudge 220 mph (352 km/h) with no other mods applied.
It sounds pretty good in the game too. Videos showing it lie after the virtual jump; only the first one is official.
