Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the sixteenth game in the series and is a BAFTA Award-winning 2010 racing video game. Hot Pursuit's gameplay is set in the fictional Seacrest County, in which player can compete in several types of races.

There is no overarching plotline or characters in the game, with only in-game radio chatter and introductory briefings to each event providing some semblance of a plotline.

Releases
The initial release of the game featured two alternate versions:
 * The Limited Edition became available for pre-order following a press release by Electronic Arts on July 17, 2010. It included special boxart, two Limited Edition cars (otherwise only playable as police vehicles, not as racers), and four early access cars (that either can be unlocked in the base game, or requires additional DLC).
 * The EA Crew Edition was distributed only to EA development staff who worked on the game. It consisted of a special sleeve and boxart, content from the Limited Edition, the SCPD Rebels Pack, and a thank you message from the CEO of Electronic Arts at the time, John Riccitiello.

DLC
There are several DLC packages to unlock various vehicles in the game.
 * The SCPD Rebels Pack included seven vehicles for the racer faction previously only available as police cruisers in the base game: the Aston Martin DBS, Audi R8 Coupé 5.2 FSI quattro, Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Lamborghini Reventón, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition
 * The Armed and Dangerous Pack lacks vehicles, but includes two new game modes: Arms Race and Most Wanted. It also includes three awards.
 * The Lamborghini Unleashed Pack contained three vehicles for both factions: the Lamborghini Countach 5000QV, Diablo SV, and the Sesto Elemento, along with a number of associated race events and awards. Four racing events were unique to this DLC that are not available when purchasing the vehicles individually.
 * The Super Sports Pack included the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Gumpert apollo s, and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and associated racing events and awards. Four events and two awards are specific to this pack, and are unavailable when purchasing the vehicles individually.
 * The Porsche Unleashed Pack consisted of three vehicles for both sides of the law: the Porsche 911 Speedster, the Porsche 911 Turbo, and the Porsche 959. Four events and one award are specific to this pack.

The Remastered version includes all DLC in the base game.

2020 Remaster

It contains all the DLC contained in the base game, with only three cars missing: the Carbon Motors E7 Concept, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition, and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss Edition.

Additionally, the police livery on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 has been altered.
