Burnout Paradise: Cars Galore - DGI Vehicle Pack Review

In the world of Burnburning rubber on virtual streets, few experiences match the sheer excitement of high-octane racing. For fans of Electronic Arts' critically acclaimed arcade driving series, there's no shortage of speed and style to be found in the latest addition from developer Criterion Games: Burnout Paradise.

But even with its already impressive roster of licensed vehicles straight out of every classic American muscle car lover's dream garage, some enthusiasts may still yearn for something more - enter DGI Vehicle Pack. Developed by independent modder DGIorio and now available exclusively through Steam Workshop as a free download for PC owners who've picked up the 'Ultimate Box' edition of Burnout Paradise.

Within its neatly compressed archives lies thirteen brand-new cars ready to spice things up on your digital racing circuit, each lovingly recreated in minute detail from real-world counterparts that'll have you purring like a satisfied cat behind wheel. But don't let their vintage looks fool you - beneath those retro exterior skins lie highly-tuned performance beasts capable of putting even the fastest production models through their paces.

From the sleek lines and aggressive stance of an early 1970s Plymouth Barracuda to the lumbering bulk and brutish power output of a late-1960s Lincoln Continental, every vehicle in this pack has been lovingly crafted by DGIorio with both historical accuracy and modern-day performance considerations firmly front-of-mind.

Of course, no racing game would be complete without some visual flair thrown into the mix - which is exactly where Carson comes into play. One of two major American manufacturers represented within Burnout Paradise's extensive vehicle lineup (the other being none other than Ford), their presence here adds a welcome dose of classic muscle car appeal to an already impressive selection.

But what really sets these particular models apart from their real-world counterparts lies not just in how they look - though trust us, DGIorio has done his homework when it comes recreating Carson's iconic styling cues down to last detail. No sirree partner; nope! The true magic happens once you hit the gas and feel those powerful engines roar into life under your foot.

Each of these thirteen new additions brings its own unique personality and driving characteristics to the table - whether you're looking for raw, visceral thrill-a-minute action or perhaps something a little more laid-back yet still packed with punch. And let's not forget about Carson themselves; their distinctive flattened 'psi' logo emblazoned proudly across each bonnet serves as an instantly recognizable calling card that says one thing and only one: 'Get ready to burn some rubber, baby!'

In conclusion then? If you're a die-hard Burnout fan looking for fresh meat (pun intended) to add some much-needed variety to your existing garage lineup or simply someone who just can't get enough of American muscle car goodness in general - look no further than DGI Vehicle Pack. With thirteen new cars packed full of personality, style and plenty of good old-fashioned arcade racing action galore waiting patiently on your hard drive ready to tear up the streets of Paradise City at a moment's notice... what are you waiting for?
