Burnout Paradise "Legendary Cars" Release Date Announced

News | February 18, 2009 8:17 am
Well this is a little late, well 2 days actually, but Criterion has officially announced the release date for their upcoming pack: The Legendary Cars. The official release date is THIS THURSDAY, February 19th, 2009.

If you haven't heard, the Legendary Cars Pack will contain 4 new and special cars that you can drive around Paradise City. All 4 of the cars have a "Special Abillity" which can be accesed by pressing L3. That's clicking in the left stick, if you didn't know. The only known abillity so far out of the 4 is the Jansen 88 Special's, which upon pressing L3, the car will retract it's wheels and HOVER. Yeah, seriously.

The 4 Legendary Cars are as follows:

Jansen 88 Special
Quote from Criterion: "This classic 1980's styled silver sports car is based on the fan-favourite Jansen P12, but we've made a few interesting modifications. Fill the gauge and hit boost to trigger burning flame trails from your back wheels. The 88 Special 's fast, manoeuvrable and great in the air. In fact, if you want to take off, this is just the car for you. Hit L3 to switch to hover mode - the wheels retract and the car takes off and hovers through Paradise City at head height. Seriously. It hovers."

Manhattan Spirit
Quote from Criterion: "Not the fastest car in Paradise City, but this reimagining of Burnout Paradise's Hunter Manhattan should keep the spirits at bay. Fans of the original will know that this underused beauty is great for stunts. This customised special version is even better, but like all the Legendary Cars, this has a trick up its sleeve \- hit L3 and boost to find out what it does."

Carson Nighthawk (If I am not mistaken, I believe this is the car that the AI drive in the Marked Man events)
Quote from Criterion: "Denied by the government and disowned by Carson, this ultra rare version of the Carson GT is the ultimate super pursuit vehicle! The custom lighting array triggered by boost makes this the most distinctive-looking vehicle for night time events in the dangerous world of Paradise City."

Cavalry Bootlegger
Quote from Criterion: "Branded with the Mexican flag and tagged as a tribute to The Chicanator, one of our big-time Mexican Burnout fans, this is a classic modified Hunter Cavalry. Hit a massive jump and press L3 to sound the incredible horn \- it's one of the defining moments in Paradise City. Also available in orange."

And the pricing... No official price has been confirmed yet, though it if rumored that the cars will be 200 or 400 each, or at a discounted price if you buy the whole pack of them.

They won't come out and say it but, the cars are based upon the Delorean from Back to the Future, the Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters, KITT from Knight Rider, and the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. There should be enough clues to figure out which is which.

I don't know if I'll buy these or not.

Taco - it is possible that that is one of the cars in the Toy Cars Pack, which will be released soon. Or it could of been a project that was started and scrapped by Criterion.

If you mean this car: http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/932/932631/burnout-paradise-20081121100951395-000.jpg

Then that is apart of the Boost Cars Pack, and will be released sometime this spring.

The Bikes are a automatic patch...I have it and it's not too bad...from what I understand, there are 2 unlockable cars that can only be played online.

unlocking 75 cars is such a chore...but it's kind of addicting.
