LONDON, Monday 2nd April 2013 –
The April Top Gear Car Pack launches today for “Forza Horizon”,
featuring six new cars specifically selected by the Top Gear Magazine
team and Turn 10 Studios’ developers, as well as two car models
appearing for the first time: the 2012 Bowler EXR S and the 2011 Alfa
Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato. Included in the pack for free for all
“Forza Horizon” fans is the ultra-rare 2002 BMW M3-GTR.
2011 Ford Transit SuperSportVan
– The SuperSportVan is the latest creation in a long-standing
series of Ford-built custom transit vans dating back to 1971. The
2011 Ford Transit SuperSportvan dons Le Mans bonnet stripes and an
eye-catching livery on the outside. Inside is the 3.2-liter,
198-horsepower engine taken from the much larger Transit Jumbo.
What’s the point? It’s a one-off design to show that Ford
engineers can have fun too, and it was unveiled at the 2011
Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, U.K. It also presents a vast
canvas for designs and further customisation for “Forza Horizon”
fans.
1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG Mercedes
CLK GTR – Only a street car in the loosest sense of the word,
the CLK-GTR is nearly identical to its pure racing counterpart,
which dominated the GT1 class at Le Mans so thoroughly that after a
few wins no competitor wished to challenge it. Buying a CLK-GTR to
use for lightning-quick grocery runs is a questionable plan, but for
dominating your friends in Horizon’s Colorado, there are few
street-licensable cars that can keep up, putting these drivers in a
very exclusive club.
2012 Aston Martin Vanquish – With
styling nods to previous Astons and a welcomed upgrade in the engine
department, the new Vanquish retains much of the familiar Aston
Martin grace, while still receiving a much needed boost in
performance. Its 565-horsepower V12 produces a pleasing growl and
will zip the car past nearly everyone else on the highway, all while
you bask in the Vanquish’s considerable interior creature
comforts.
2012 Bowler EXR S – The
Bowler EXR S is the result of the 2012 brand partnership between
Land Rover and U.K.-based rally raid manufacturer Bowler. The
striking all-terrain vehicle is fitted with a modified version of
the Range Rover Sport’s supercharged 5.0-litre V8, and produces
550 bhp, giving it a top speed of more than 150 mph. The first
Bowler designed for road use, the EXR S is equally at home in the
deepest parts of Horizon’s back roads.
2011 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale
Zagato – Combine traditional Alfa elegance with 600
horsepower of pure Dodge fury and what do you get? The 2011 Alfa
Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato. This street-legal sports car features an
8.4-litre V10 and the kind of gorgeous curves you’d expect from
Italian design center Zagato. In short, this one’s as easy on the
eyes and as it is fun on the road.
2002 BMW M3-GTR (FREE Download)
– The 2002 BMW M3-GTR is synonymous with rarity. As BMW puts
it, “The GTRs (both race and street copies) were never sold to
anyone. Only three street copies were built. Not all three were ever
shown. A street copy was shown in the U.S. only once, and for less
than an hour.” Little wonder, then, that this M3 is bound to be a
prize for “Forza Horizon” players.
Where Cars Belong: “Forza
Horizon” is available now on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and anywhere
games are sold. Car packs are available individually or as part of
the “Forza Horizon” Season Pass (4,000 Microsoft Points), which
also includes the Rally Expansion Pack. The game is rated PEGI 12.
