Video: Take The K&N Need For Speed Challenge!

Video games have made great strides in the last couple of years to provide its players with the most real to life experience possible. When it comes to driving games, they’ve become a balls-to-the-wall, falling off your seat fun-fest. They’re not only life-like but the car you’re driving reacts just like it would in real life. It’s almost scary how real and authentic the graphics have become. If you haven’t played a driving game in a while, you’re in for a treat, especially with Need for Speed’s The Run.

It’s not just the graphics either that are so amazing. It’s the depth to which these games are actively including some big-hitters from the aftermarket industry. This not only builds to the realism of the game, but provides a sense of authenticity, too.

Think about it…if your favorite aftermarket company is plastering its good name – known for performance – its got to be good, right? Yeah, we though so. For us, we love seeing some of our favorite aftermarket companies involved with some of our most favorite driving games. It’s awesome, and we’d love to see more of it.

Case in point, Need For Speed’s The Run, featuring the K&N Air Filter Challenge. If you’re deep into the game, and have finished Stage 3, you may or may not have noticed the K&N Challenge Series, which contains three extra events: Filtered For Success, Death Valley Run, and Battle in the Desert. As an added bonus, achieve Gold in all three events of this Challenge Series, and unlock the gorgeous monster shown above — the K&N Signature Edition Dodge Challenger SRT8!

If you’re into triple digit speeds, outrunning the law, and bottoming out the suspension on asphalt whoops in your tricked out Mopar, this is the game for you.
