Need for Speed: Shift is the thirteenth installment and second reboot of the racing video game franchise Need for Speed. It was developed by Slightly Mad Studios in conjunction with EA Bright Light and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable, Android, iOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, MeeGo and J2ME in 2009. In the new franchising model for the series adopted by EA, Shift takes its place focusing on simulation/arcade racing rather than the arcade racing of previous titles in the series. Shift was followed by a sequel, Shift 2: Unleashed, in 2011.



Nordschleife

The Green Hell Legend

Since its construction (1925 - 1927), the Nordschleife has enjoyed a reputation as a terrifying and merciless route through the Eifel forests. An English journalist who visited the Nordschleife during the opening race on 18 June 1927 even concluded “that it seemed as if a reeling, drunken giant had been sent out to determine the route”. The Formula 1 pilot Sir John Young Jackie Stewart – after all a three-time world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973 – was so impressed by the circuit that he gave it the name which it will probably never lose: Green Hell (Grüne Hölle).

Racing and winning on the Nordschleife has always been very special for racing drivers, because the track is one of the most demanding in the world. Tricky corners, treacherous crests, steep inclines and gradients and constantly changing road surfaces demand great skill from the driver and put vehicles to a hard test.
The best-known event today is the ADAC TOTAL 24-hour race, which is held on both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit and which for four days transforms the entire circuit into a huge spectacle. Up to 800 amateurs and professionals in up to 200 cars take part in this race.

For 2010, Lamborghini has expanded its model range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model - the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP 640. The Murcielago LP640 is available as a two-passenger coupe or roadster, while the LP670-4 SuperVeloce is available as a coupe. The LP640 features a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces up to 632 horsepower (Lamborghini states 640 PS or Pferdest?rke (German for "horse strength), a unit of power measurement commonly used in Europe, South America and Japan). A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and an available E-gear auto-shifting manual transmission with steering column-mounted paddles allows for split-second gear shifts. The LP670-4 SuperVeloce's horsepower is bumped up to 661, and the E-gear auto-shifting manual is standard, with the six-speed manual as a no-charge option. A permanent all-wheel-drive system with electronic traction control and an electronically-controlled adaptive suspension are standard equipment. Optional (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce) light-weight carbon ceramic brakes offer superior durability and reduce brake fade, where the brakes become less effective due to overheating in extremely demanding conditions such as racing. An available (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce) clear glass engine cover allows the owner to display the engine. The interior can be customized with exclusive materials such as Alcantara and carbon fiber trim (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce). The LP670-4 SuperVeloce features extensively redesigned front and rear fascia, exclusive alloy-forged wheels, lightweight carbon fibre and Alcantara sport seats and a choice of rear wing spoilers. The 2010 Murcielago LP640 is carried over from 2009, while LP640-4 SuperVeloce is an all-new version.
