Need for Speed Rivals patch has new Ford Mustang

EA has confirmed that a new Need for Speed Rivals patch will gift players with a new 2015 Ford Mustang.

The car won't even be available to buy in the real world until 2014, but all players have to do to get their hands on the virtual version is download the free patch.

"We worked closely with EA to provide engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford's Mark Bentley.

"The computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang."

The patch is available to download for free now.
