Holding a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, the iconic 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is now available to race with in the game. Its muscular frame and powerful stance will make it instantly recognizable on the track, striking fear into all opponents. Fast & Furious is the essence of adrenaline-filled action, and the Charger isn’t the only adrenalized vehicle. Just like Brian O'Conner earned Dom Toretto’s respect, his Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 will quickly conquer players in the game with its all-wheel drive and massive twin turbos. Nevertheless, the most nostalgic fans of the Saga will be eager to drive the ‘95 Mitsubishi Eclipse in the game, the compact sports car that marked O’Conner's entry into the underground racing scene. Moreover, the W Motors Lykan HyperSport will add a touch of flair to the pack with its futuristic, luxury designs.

The Fast & Furious Expansion Pack also includes Dom's Garage, a mixed environment featuring the garage itself and Dom’s backyard where players will experience the atmosphere inspired by one of cinema’s most popular global franchises.

"We're injecting a high-powered boost of nitrous into our collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences by steering more of the Fast & Furious franchise's legendary cars into Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged,” said Mike DeLaet, Global Head of Digital Gaming at Mattel. “This high-octane expansion is the perfect blend of speed and style, embodying the iconic essence of both iconic brands for fans to enjoy.”

The Fast & Furious Expansion Pack is included in both the Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 - Turbocharged Legendary Edition and the Season Pass Vol. 2, and can also be purchased separately.

Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 - Turbocharged is now available for purchase on all major gaming consoles and PC, and is now playable through an Xbox Game Pass subscription for Xbox console, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
