What if the car you use to break the laws of the roads as a racer could switch to the black and white? That is the question that the  Need for Speed^TM Rivals team is asking with the “King of the Streets” Bracket Challenge. Vote for the one and only car in  Need for Speed^TM Rivals that will cross-over from racer to cop or cop to racer making it playable by both sides. Gamers can choose from among eight road warriors – the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Ford GT, Porsche Cayman S, Dodge Charger SRT8, Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, Pagani Huayra, Lexus LFA and Aston Martin Vanquish.

This is your chance to add to the unique gameplay and progression you’ll experience as both a cop and racer with one car that will embody the ultimate rivalry.

In  Need for Speed Rivals, it’s all about the heat of competition in the legendary rivalry between cops and racers. Gamers play as either a cop or racer, where each side of the law has its own set of high stakes challenges, rewards and consequences. As a racer, the goal is to become infamous for taking risks behind the wheel and capturing your most intense escapes on video for the world to see. The more cops players evade, the more Speed Points they collect, enabling them to unlock new cars, personalisation options and evasion tech. Keep raising the stakes race after race to become an ever-more valuable target to the cops – but risk losing it all if busted. As a cop, players work together as part of a team in pursuit of racers, earning prominence and rising in the ranks of the Police Force with every bust, unlocking unique cop cars and more powerful pursuit tech.
