First DLC for Grid 2 called Super Modified Pack, out now

As it turns out, Grid 2 seems like a very pleasant diversion, at least until we get our hands on the can't-get-here-fast-enough Gran Turismo 6. And yet, the fast-paced Codemasters title might be considered slightly poor in terms of out-and-out racing machines.

Thankfully, the G2 gang has realized the error of its ways, and is already offering up a four-pack of racecars by way of some smoking hot DLC. The Super Modified Pack affords gamers access to a 890-horsepower R32 Skyline GT-R, a hot-rodded Honda Civic Super Modified (catchy name, there), and high-output versions of a Mazda RX-7 and a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The lot of four isn't cheap, however, with a sticker price of $5.99 on Playstation 3 or 480 Microsoft Points ($6.00) on Xbox 360.

You can find a bit more info on each of the cars in the pack in the press release below (boring...), scroll on to watch a video of the group (much more exciting), or simply log on and spend that money to get the goodies yourself.
