The Need for Speed racing games have been around for a few years now. I even remember playing the first game on the PC way back in 1995 – now that makes me feel old!

Need For Speed:Hot Pursuit

The latest game in the franchise, Hot Pursuit, returns to the cops versus racers theme and updates it with the latest supercars, including cars from Audis Lamborghini, Koenigsegg and Pagani.

This fantastic promotional video brings us a real world chase scene that mimics the in-game action. In this clip we see a Pagani Zonda Cinque racing through some empty mountain roads, with that glorious V12 howl reverberating off the cliff faces. Lying in wait is a Lamborghini Murcielago patrol car, which takes chase – cue powerslides, spike strips and helicopters. Great fun, and I hope the game is just as good.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is out now on PC, Xbox, PS3 and Wii.
