    PREPARE TO HIT THE ROAD IN A FERRARI 458 ITALIA, THE “FORZA MOTORSPORT 4” COVER CAR

    Today Turn 10 Studios is also revealing that the cover car for the standard edition of “Forza Motorsport 4” is the Ferrari 458 Italia. The Ferrari 458 Italia is an 8-cylinder two-seater berlinetta with a mid-rear mounted engine, and represents a genuine break with the past in terms of Maranello's previous high-performance sports cars. The Turn 10 team has worked closely with Ferrari to include every intricate detail of the Ferrari 458 Italia in the game, from its sleek aerodynamic design to its exquisitely modeled 4499 cc V8 engine, offering players the most realistic driving experience off the track.

    “The Ferrari 458 Italia was a perfect fit for the ‘Forza Motorsport 4’ hero car. It has the ideal blend of style, creative flair, cutting-edge technology and power that makes it just as gorgeous to look at as it is thrilling to take to the track,” said Dan Greenawalt, creative director of Turn 10 Studios. “We’ve worked closely with our partners at Ferrari to bring this amazing car to life in your living room.”

    GET A HEAD START ON THE COMPETITION WITH “PROFILE IMPORT”

    For those who have invested tireless hours in “Forza Motorsport 3”, Turn 10 Studios is pleased to announce a unique “Forza Motorsport 4” feature called Profile Import, which rewards fans for their time. Based on your player level and the cars in your garage in “Forza Motorsport 3”, gift cars will be automatically added to your “Forza Motorsport 4” garage and you’ll also receive bonus gifts and credits. And for those who spent hours creating intricate layers and liveries in the “Forza Motorsport 3” Livery Editor, you will be able to import those layers, so your time isn’t lost!


    I am going to Walmart for my preorder. I am a huge MINI fan (and former Cooper owner). If your preordering, where are you going for your feature car?

    Finished Forza 3 a few days ago. I am super pumped for the LCE. The Veyron, 458 Challenge, and Superleggera all sold me on the LCE.

    I really hate this new exclusive DLC from one place or another. Luckily I don't want any of those cars, but if I got a game that wasn't the first production run, I'd feel really ripped off in not getting those 5 other cars. As much as I hate Turn10s politics I can't say I won't be buying this game.

    This seems to be the form with a lot of developers now. Most of them do come to their senses and release the exclusive stuff down the track.



    I have been missing out on some of the limited editions so going to order it today :D

    What kind of set-up do you have? Don't have any game console yet, but because the racing game (NFS and Fora) are so good, I am looking at getting one. Not sure of PS3 or Xbox or other + all extras (wheel, seat, etc).
    Any help is appreciated

    If you feel up to it, building your own seat set up is probably the cheapest. However, if you don't, then I recommend the Playseat EVO.I've had an Xbox Wheel and a Logitech G27 on my Evo, and I absolutely love it.
