Pirelli Ties in With Crackdown 2 Video Game Launch

Pirelli Tire North America has teamed-up with DUB, Ford, Microsoft and Roush Industries for the customized Crackdown 2 version of the 2011 DUB Edition Ford Mustang V6, reports Tire Review. The customized car, tied in with the launch of the XBox 360 Crackdown 2 video game, will be given away in a sweepstakes.

The winner will receive a new 2010 DUB Edition Ford Mustang V6 with special Crackdown 2 graphics package, hood scoop, racing stripe and 20-inch wheels fitted with Pirelli P Zero Nero tires.

Also included in the sweepstakes car will be an audio/video setup featuring two XBox 360s and a LCD screen mounted in the trunk lid. Five winners will receive a special edition Crackdown 2 XBox 360 Elites, and all winners will get a copy of Crackdown 2.

“The new Mustang is the first car in the world to top 30 mpg and over 300 horsepower, and being the tire of choice for both the DUB Edition Mustang and the Crackdown Cruiser again demonstrates Pirelli’s place as the leader of sustainable high performance – especially in innovative and cutting-edge applications such as this,” said Rafael Navarro, PTNA’s director of motorsport and media relations.
