Test Drive 2: The Accessories
Hot on the heels of this popular car racing game comes a whole wodge of add-on scenery disks and super cars designed to complement the original package.
The Super Cars: Car Disk
This gives you the five fastest cars in the world to whizz around in. The 88 Lotus Turbo Esprit is a 2.2 litre turbo-charged motor with superb road handling. It isn't the quickest but it can corner far better than any other car.
The 88 Lamborghini Contach 5000S has got to be the best-looking car in the world. Four valves per cylinder and a V-12 engine can send you to a top speed of 179mph, but who cares how fast you're going when your car looks this good!

The Ferrari Testarossa has gob-smacking looks and a top speed of 185mph. It can accelerate from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, so make sure you've got your flying helmet on. In the same league is the 911 RUF, which has a top speed that puts most light aeroplanes to shame - 211mph. With 469 bhp under your belt you have to be careful with the accelerator or you could end up breaking the light speed barrier.
An American car is your final choice. The 89 Corvette ZR1 can travel at 185mph. The engine is an all aluminium 32 valve V-8 monster and strong enough to power a juggernaut.
It's difficult to rate this pack. If you're seriously into super-cars and Test Drive 2 left you crying out for more, then check it out. All the cars perform as they do in real life - and let's face it, this is the only chance you're ever going to get to drive cars this good.
The Super Cars: The Muscle Cars
![Test Drive II: European Challenge Data Disk](/ills_small/atari_st/accolade/3_5_discs/Test-Drive-Ii-European-Challenge-Data-Disk-003.gif)
Five American cars make an appearance on this disk. The youngest of the crop was built in 1969, but don't let that fool you. None of them is exactly what you'd call tame.
The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray can travel at 142mph and can take you form 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds. Ths means you can clear a quarter of a mile in a mere 16.9 seconds.
The 1968 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra has a top speed of 138mph and a 335 horse power engine. This can take you from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds and eats up tarmac like a true petrol guzzler.

Pontiac's 1967 GTO is 360 horse power car nicknamed the Goat. With a top speed of 137mph it can still blow away most super-cars.
Dodge's Charger Daytona hit the streets in 1969 but with a 425 horse power engine it can make a top speed of some 144mph.
Only 69 Cloi 9560 ZL-1 Camaros were ever built. It has a full race aluminium 427 cubic inch engine and a mind numbing top end of 152mph. If you enjoy travelling from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, then check it out.

Again this disk is going to appeal more to car fanatics than your average gameplaying ST owner. Fans of big-engined, gas-guzzling American motors are going to love it.
Test Drive 2: The Scenery Disks
These two scenery disks cover California and Europe in two separate packs, with each one being made up of five different sections. The California scenery disk starts you off on the Oregon border and takes you down the redwood highway to Eureka.
Then it's up into the mountains of Rockport with extreme falls to the side. Stage Three takes you down into San Francisco, past Santa Cruz and into Carmel. You then go through Santa Barbara and the redwoods of Big Sur in Stage Four. The home stretch is off to the Mexico border, through Santa Monica and past Del Mar and La Jolia beaches.
The European Scenery disks give you a chance to enjoy some decent views. Visit five countries, complete with cliched sights. Holland has windmills; Germany the Autobahn; Switzerland steep rises and harsh drops; Italy the Coliseum; France the Riviera, and so on.
It's all pretty bland stuff. Again, if you're desperately into Test Drive 2, then check it out. Bear in mind that, for the cost of this disk, you could just as easily buy a ferry ticket to Europe and drive the roads in real life.
