'''''OutRun 2''''' is an arcade racing game developed by [[Sega]] for [[Sega Chihiro]] hardware in 2003. It is a direct sequel to the original 1986 game ''[[OutRun]]'', though is actually the seventh game in the series after ''[[Battle OutRun]]'', ''[[Turbo OutRun]]'', ''[[OutRun Europa]]'', ''[[OutRunners]]'' and ''[[OutRun 2019]]''.

'''''OutRun 2''''' is a 2003 arcade racing game developed by [[Sega]] for [[Sega Chihiro]] hardware. It is the first and only major followup to the original ''[[OutRun]]'' since ''[[Turbo OutRun]]'' and ''[[OutRunners]]''.
  
The format is similar to the original ''OutRun'' but features more cars, more tracks and more music. As well as this, the graphics and sound have been completely re-worked and the game's engine has been replaced with one of a more modern standard. There are also more single player (and multiplayer) modes. It is also the first ''OutRun'' game with the permission to use real cars - though past games had used a car that looked similar to the Ferrari Testarossa, no licensing deal with Ferrari had been made. In ''OutRun 2'' however, everything is perfectly legal.
 
  
A port was made to the [[Xbox]] in 2004, which, among other things, adds a course based on tracks in the [[Sega Model 3]] game ''[[Scud Race]]'', as well as one based on tracks from ''[[Daytona USA 2: Power Edition]]''.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
Gameplay is similar to the original ''OutRun'', but with a number of new mechanics; ''Ridge Racer''-style drifting and slipstreaming is the most obvious. A variety of Ferraris were introduced (courtesy of an official Ferrari license), a new set of 15 European-themed routes to drive through were developed, and the classic ''OutRun'' music was revisited and joined by new songs. A new "Heart Attack" mode was added where you have to fulfill various small challenges as you drive.
  
An arcade update to OutRun 2 was released in 2004, titled ''[[OutRun 2 SP]]''. The upgrade contains all features from ''OutRun 2'', as well as a new 15-course branching path based on North America, additional music and extra features. This version was the basis for the home console release ''[[OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast]]''.
+
===Cars===
 +
The original version of ''OutRun 2'' features eight Ferraris. The cars are split into four "classes" with different values for acceleration, handling and top speed.
