Black Bean Games has decided to bring mythical cars from the Group B to its upcoming rallye game, WRC. But to drive such legends as 205 T16 or R5 Maxi Turbo, you'll have to pay 4,99 €/400MS Points to get the DLC, which will be released at the same time as the game, on October 8th. Images and press release after the click.
An additional cars package features some of the most glorious and iconic models of the eighties, from the legendary Group B era. Group B cars were the dominant force in the FIA World Rally Championship between 1982 and 1987 and the add-on pack will be downloadable from October 8th 2010, the date of the game’s release.
This add-on will be available for Xbox®360 and PlayStation®3 through the Marketplace of XboxLive and Playstation®Network respectively, for 400 points and 4,99 Euros. The PC version of the game will also include this exhilarating DLC.
Discover some of the fastest, most powerful and sophisticated rally cars ever built: the Peugeot 205 T 16, Lancia Delta S4, Ford RS200, Citroën BX4 TC and Renault R5 Maxi Turbo.

Shame on you, Black Bean....SHAME ON YOU.
I won't buy this game for more than 12€, that's decided...
I was gonna buy this brand new, but now i will get it used because of this crap.
Rip off out loud, though >:(
Considering how long it's been since we've had a game purely about rallying, I'm looking forward to this. Group B cars are certainly welcome, since they are a great aspect of the history of rallying and I will likely get this DLC at launch. For those who complain about there being DLC on launch day, what's the problem? Is it any different than any other day? It certainly isn't and Milestone isn't the first developer to have DLC announced before release. Turn 10 did the same with Forza 3 and lots of people still got the game and the DLC anyway. As for it being paid (in contrast to Forza 3's free launch DLC), you have to think of the Group B cars as being Premium content, in other words, pay extra to upgrade your game to a Special Edition, whose bonus is the Group B cars. Again, this has been done before with NFS Pro Street and Undercover with their collectors edition upgrades.
Extra Note: I don't think the PC version will have Group B cars on the disk. What they're saying is that the PC version will also have the content available for download, which you'll still have to pay for.

Better luck next time Black Bean. Guess I'll be waiting for Dirt 3.

And other companies doing the same thing doesn't really change anything. Two lefts don't make right.
