NFS Unbound Vol. 7: Exclusive Speedhunters Drift & Drag Customs Unveiled

It's a thrilling day for racing game enthusiasts and car aficionados alike. The much-anticipated NFS Unbound Vol. 7 has officially dropped, and it's loaded with features that will set your heart racing. This latest volume focuses on the exhilarating worlds of drift and drag racing, two disciplines near and dear to Speedhunters since its inception in 2008. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. For this release, the Speedhunters team has collaborated to introduce two unique custom cars, exclusively for this volume.

Before diving into the details of these exclusive custom vehicles, let's talk about what sets Vol. 7 apart from previous volumes. EA Games and Speedhunters announced earlier this year that they would work closely together to deliver not just in-game updates but enriched content that appeals to both gamers and car enthusiasts. This partnership has already produced gems like a deep dive into Audi’s quattro history and an exploration of the evolution of drift and drag racing.

EA Games’ long-standing involvement with Speedhunters is no secret. Since the early days, racing games like Need for Speed have influenced many in the Speedhunters community. The latest volume is a testament to this continuing relationship, designed to offer exceptional value for both avid gamers and car lovers.

So, let's get to the exciting part: the new cars in Vol. 7. First up is the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, a beast inspired by drag racing. This blacked-out monster features Weld wheels, massive rear slicks, an alloy drag spoiler, and even a parachute for those epic high-speed runs. The design is a nod to NFS Pro Street with a splash of NFS Underground nostalgia, creating a visual and performance masterpiece.

Next in line is the 2023 BMW M3 Competition Touring. This custom creation is tailored for the drift scene, featuring deep-dish Work wheels, a widened exterior finished in an intriguing olive green, and a stance that looks ready to glide through any drift circuit. You'll find this M3 hitting all the right notes as a street and drift vehicle, embodying the essence of Speedhunters.

These custom cars are available through the Premium Speed Pass, which not only grants you immediate access to both vehicles but also unlocks three body kits and three Race Custom versions for each. If that wasn't enough, there's an additional 30 tiers of content to discover, featuring LED and LCD rims, character skins, and new cosmetic items, many of which pay homage to NFS Underground.

For those hesitant to purchase the Premium Speed Pass, fear not. The regular Speed Pass also offers 45 tiers of unlocks, including access to the M3 Touring and other cool add-ons like an Underground-inspired drag car and various character cosmetics.

Beyond the flashy cars and stunning new content, Vol. 7 also introduces a League progression system, reminiscent of the competitive spirit found in NFS Underground. This feature allows players to challenge Rival Racers in head-to-head battles or join community challenges aimed at unlocking a final boss and claiming exclusive customs. Leagues will update regularly, ensuring a continually fresh and engaging single-player experience, especially in Free Roam mode.

As a nod to old-school NFS fans, the phrase “inspired by NFS Underground” popped up early in the press release for Vol. 7. Whether it’s the iconic soundtrack or the revolutionary car customization options, NFS Underground holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts. The inclusion of these references in Vol. 7 brings a nostalgic yet modern edge to the gaming experience.

With more updates planned, including a volume inspired by the classic Hot Pursuit, the future looks bright for NFS Unbound fans. EA Games and Speedhunters are committed to making this year a memorable one for the community. Stay tuned for more exciting developments, and don't forget to share your custom creations in the comments.

So there you have it. Vol. 7 Drift & Drag is here to elevate your NFS Unbound gaming experience with phenomenal Speedhunters customs and a plethora of new content that promises to keep you hooked for hours on end.
