The new GT5 downloadable content that leaked a few days ago was confirmed earlier today by the North American and European PlayStation Blogs, who provided a few more details and pricing information. As expected, “Car Pack 3″ will include the following vehicles and will be available in the PlayStation Store for $5.99 (USD) / €5.99 / £4.79. Nissan Leaf G 2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2010 Volkswagen [Beetle] 1200 1966 Jaguar XJR-9 LM Racecar 1988 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2011 Mini Mini Cooper S Countryman (R60) 2011 The “Speed Test Course Pack” will also become available at that time for $3.99 (USD) / €3.99 / £3.19, which includes the Route X test course and an apparent new “Speed Test” mode that allows you to exactly measure “things like your mile, quarter-mile, acceleration, and g-force”. The blogs also confirm you’ll be able to use Route X online, though it’s still not clear if this will enable formal online drag races as desired by many fans. Polyphony Digital has also posted an online maintenance notice for 03:00 GMT on January 17th, so expect the 2.03 update to go live shortly thereafter. As for the DLC’s availability, the North American PlayStation Blog confirms it will be available next Tuesday, January 17. However, the European blog re-iterates the original release date of Wednesday, January 18. As always, stay tuned to GTPlanet and our forums for specific, local availability information.

Sounds good and it's nice to see that they've fixed some stuff as well, any word yet on if the problems with the Shuffle Mode have been fixed?

[The Whisper]

Simulates regenerative braking on electric cars.

Great, tried a endurance with the GT By Citroën concept (its electric) and ran out of power in 20 laps without having the option to re"fuel".

Nice, great to see PD keep adding stuff all the time. Haven't played GT5 for a month or so because of the 4-Hour Nurburgring race which I still haven't completed, so I'll probably have to install any updates and download the current DLC that came out a month or two ago.

I'm sooooo going to have fun with this treasure!

[Livingguyanese]

i really hope this is include in the GT 5 XL edition, since it comes out basic the same day



was hoping for the NSX concept car too

[Iceyice]

All i really want is the regular Toyota Camry. All models, but especially the 1992 version. Believe it or not, that's my favorite car ever - real life, and i drove a lot of cars in my day!
