GRID DLC Information Races In!

Codemasters announced on Friday that GRID would be getting some DLC! Called “8-Ball”, will feature 8 new cars for GRID on the 360 and the PS3.  Due to the fact that this is premium DLC, (we have no word on the price, but we can safely assume it’ll be set at 800 Microsoft Points), the 360 will also be getting 4 new achievements!  Here are the cars that’ll be inluded:

• McLaren F1 GTR – The McLaren F1 GTR wrote itself into the history books as the only GT car to ever win Le Mans and is considered one of the finest examples of automotive engineering in history.
• TVR Cerbera Speed 12 – The TVR 12 smashes past 60 MPH in just under 3 seconds. Production models were planned, but they were considered too powerful to sell to the general public.
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X – For over a decade the Evo has been billed as a supercar slayer – now the Evo-X in GRID lets you unleash its sledgehammer aggression in the Pro-Tuned class.
• Honda S2000 – This roadster is heavily modified for drifting and has become a cult-favourite thanks to its award winning engine.
• Nissan GT-R GT500 – The production model was Top Gear’s Supercar of the Year 2007. Now one of the world’s hottest cars makes its debut in Race Driver: GRID in its fully tuned racing spec.
• VW Nardo – This powerful concept car made real from VW uses its 600BHP engine to rocket to 60MPH in 3.1 seconds.
• Pontiac Firebird Trans AM – The 1971 racing edition of this true American legend is a worthy addition to GRID’s exclusive group of muscle cars.
• Volvo C30 – Adding to Race Driver: GRID’s touring car roster comes the C30, Volvo’s agile, cutting edge hot-hatch straight from the STCC grid.

Personally, I would buy this pack for the GT-R and the Mitsubishi Evo X, all the rest are considered to be a bonus!  As for the achievements, they’re oulined below as well:

• Gotta Win ‘Em All – Win an online race in each of the ‘8 Ball’ pack cars – 25pts.
• Drift Master – Achieve a 99x combo in the Honda S2000 – 25pts.
• Gas Guzzler – Clock up over 250 miles in your favorite 8 Ball pack car– 25pts.
• Clean Passing – Win a clean race in an 8 Ball Pack car from last position – 25pts.

So that’s that! We also have some screenshots below for you, of course, embedded for your enjoyment!
