Test Drive Unlimited: Maserati Paraded

 

Atari and Eden Games have yet another surprise for all those Test Drive Unlimited fans out there with the addition of an iconic Italian sports car manufacturer: Maserati. To anybody who knows everything about cars, the name Maserati will have them jumping with joy and get the heart racing.

Of course, most of us don’t have the money to ever own a Maserati, so I guess we’ll have to stick with the ultimate driving experience from TDU. There won’t be just one Maserati in TDU either, but two: the Maserati MC12 and the classic 3500 GT.

3500 GT
In 1960, Maserati introduced a version of the 3500 that had a shorter chassis for greater handling and direction. Often compared to the Ferrari 250 and Aston Martin DB4, this two-door coupe convertible was one of the most advanced cars of its day. The 3500 GT is definitely one for players to have in their collection of cars from Test Drive Unlimited.

MC12
The sleek design of the MC12 is just the start when talking about this Maserati supercar. It boasts a 700 horsepower engine and goes 0-60 in 3.8 seconds (Yes, 3.8!); it is one of the most desirable and incredible cars featured in Test Drive Unlimited. In 2005, only 35 were made.

Not only do we get this abundance of information for petrol heads, but some stunning screenshots and renders for you to look at, perfect for those more interested in the styling and graphical perfection in which Test Drive Unlimited presents these cars. Look hard now, as you won’t be seeing these again until Autumn 2006 when TDU is finally released for the PSP, ps2“>PS2 Xbox 360 and PC. Then we’ll see how this game shapes up against the likes of Gran Turismo and Project Gotham Racing.
