Limited Edition Car Pack– This five-car pack features new cars that are already destined for legendary status. Each car in the “Forza Motorsport 5” Limited Edition Car Pack will feature a Limited Edition livery and will be tuned to the top of its respective class. The cars in the “Forza Motorsport 5” Limited Edition Car Pack include*:

 

• 2011 Audi RS3 Sportback – More than a mere grocery-getter, the RS3 Sportback marries performance with practicality. The result is a 340-horsepower grin-generator that will paste your head to the back of the seat and not crack a single egg in the process.
  
• 2012 Aston Martin Vanquish – As comfortable on the track as it is on cozy country lanes, the Aston Martin Vanquish is equal parts refined style and snarling, road-taming grit.
  
• 2013 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 – While the GT500’s aggressive lines suggest raw power and straight-line speed to spare, the sound of that big 5.8-liter V8 simply screams, “Get out of the way!”
  
• 2013 McLaren P1™ – The successor to McLaren’s legendary F1, the McLaren P1™ is an automotive highlight reel: technological innovation, gorgeous contours, and pure, unapologetic performance. Epic, legendary, astounding – words tend to fail when describing this car's limitless potential.
  
• 2013 SRT Viper GTS – The return of the Viper has been celebrated by automotive fans worldwide. With an 8.4-liter V10 that’s capable of pushing the GTS to a top speed north of 200 mph, the 2013 Viper GTS has once again firmly entrenched its spot near the top of the American Muscle hierarchy.
  

VIP Membership – "Forza Motorsport 5" VIPs enjoy exclusive benefits, including 2x player reward acceleration, access to exclusive multiplayer events, an exclusive in-game player card badge, and in-game gifts from the "Forza" community team.** VIPs will also have access to the "Forza Motorsport 5" VIP Car Pack, featuring five amazing cars only available to VIP members, including:

 

• 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C — Marketed as “the fastest streetcar in the world,” the 427 S/C is the most desirable of all the Shelby Cobra variants. Out of the 100 that were planned only 53 were built. They are nothing less than a purpose-built race car converted at the last minute for street use.
  
• 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird — Dubbed the “Yellowbird” by journalists during a test drive event, the 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird earns its name thanks to the canary-like chirping of its twin turbo blow-off valve. Just 29 of these cherished classics were built.
  
• 1991 Mazda #55 Team MAZDASPEED 787B – One of the most beloved race cars of all time, the 787B holds the distinction as being Japan’s only winner of a 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Featuring a brash green and orange livery and an unmistakable screaming Wankel rotary engine, the 787B continues to inspire more than 20 years after its debut.
  
• 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor — Say hello to your rear view mirror's worst nightmare. The Raptor is essentially a factory-built pre-runner race truck with suspension to match its under-the-hood muscle. Slide it, jump it, whatever you like — it just begs for more.
  
• 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – Even among hypercars, the Veyron Super Sport stands alone. After all, this is the car that currently holds the Guinness record for “World’s Fastest Car” at speeds approaching 270 mph.
  

Day One Car Pack – A three-car pack featuring special liveries and custom tuned cars. See below for details on the Day One Car Pack.

 

In addition, "Forza Motorsport 5" Limited Edition owners will receive a custom Steelbook™ case, a decal sheet featuring “Forza Motorsport 5”, “Xbox One”, and Audi window decals, and 1,250 car tokens (a $9.99 value) that will allow Limited Edition owners instant access to any car in the game. The "Forza Motorsport 5" Limited Edition will be available for an estimated retail price of $79.99 at launch and is now available for pre-order at participating retailers.

"Forza Motorsport 5" Day One Edition

 

"Forza Motorsport 5" fans will also have the option to pre-order the "Forza Motorsport 5" Day One Edition, featuring the Day One Car Pack and special Day One commemorative packaging with artwork that matches the Xbox One Day One console design.

 

Day One Car Pack – This three-car pack features amazing cars from Lamborghini, Audi, and Ford; each with a Day One-themed livery and custom tuning package created by the experts at Turn 10. The Day One Car Pack includes the following cars*:

 

• 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe – Stuffed stem to stern with modern tech, the TT RS is the first TT model to carry Audi’s famed RS badge – a distinction that’s earned on the track from the moment you step on the gas.
  
• 2013 Ford Focus ST -- Debuting with the same 247-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine from the much larger Ford Explorer SUV, the new Ford Focus ST packs a serious punch.
  
• 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera – Like great sculpture, the Superleggera’s chiseled form is carefully considered for maximum impact. That’s where the similarities end, however, because this work of art is best appreciated when it’s moving at top speed.
  

The Day One edition of "Forza Motorsport 5" will be available for an estimated retail price $59.99 at launch and is now available for pre-order at participating retailers.

 

"Forza Motorsport 5" will be playable at this year’s Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany. Conference attendees will be able to play an updated build of the game, as well as check out the “Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition” cover car – the Audi RS7 Sportback – on display in the Xbox booth throughout the week.

Gotta say...the RS7.

 

Looks like only the VIP cars are actually unique in that it's not just a paintjob of a car ingame, and then again give it a few month's and that'll be for sale. And nothing brand new to Forza is there...but hopefully it's all with the new graphics engine and such!

 

Not enough to make me buy a Xbox 1...for the price that it & F5 will be I could get a car for that! (not digging at MS or Forza btw)

 

Still...RS7.

[The Compensator]

So the VIP, LE and D1 cars will also be included in the base FM5 copy or you will have to get them in a future DLC?

 

LOL, Audi made it to the cover again... and even they give us stickers. How much had Audi to pay? :fp:

[T1M]

Wtf? Now we have to pay extra for cars that featured in FM4? (the VIP cars)

 

Turn10, you've done it again! :rolleyes:

[The Compensator]

I think that the RS 3 was also in FM4. :fp:

[Eudemon]

Wtf? Now we have to pay extra for cars that featured in FM4? (the VIP cars)

 

Turn10, you've done it again! :rolleyes:

Note the Forza 4 DLC too, I've been reading a number of comments about the "upset" fans have about this.

[Camel]

Glad I'm not really interested in Forza this time around. :)

 

They make it less and less appealing to their current fanbase each time they release a new one.

[iNotACactus]

Know what sounds really good right about now, Turn 10? GTAV, GT6, Driveclub, The Crew, pCARS, and other things that don't treat me like a money-giving machine that happens to enjoy racing. :cheeese:

[Rassva]

Nice, the modders have an RS7 to convert to other games. Not sure if I will buy an XBOX for this...

[The Compensator]

Yes, gimme few weeks after FM5 is released and I'll have a blue RS 7 in my garage in Honolulu.

[Ryzza5]

Dear Turn 10,

 

Screw you

 

Sincerely,

Ryzza5

 

 

 

To be honest I've recently been thinking of getting the Xbone (at some point) but this game has never been one of the reasons why.

[Eudemon]

Forza is a reason to get a Microsoft console just like Gran Turismo is a reason to get a Sony one, but I haven't liked where Forza has been heading after FM2 and the whole DLC milking with FM3 meant I never even wanted to pick-up Forza 4. I picked up Horizon of course and I did enjoy it but again the whole DLC plan was just a gouge and I am now very weary of picking up anything of this franchise.

 

Perhaps 2-3 years down the line who knows, I might bite but I'm not feeling the need or desire to even want this game.

[Rassva]

Well , ps3 got dirt cheap now and there are a lot of ps3 exclusives to play.

[bartkramer]

Does anyone know if the LCE codes can be redeemed on a later moment, because the Xbox One has a delay in the Netherlands.

[Eudemon]

I would believe so, but that is a good question. Are you talking as if you were to import a console to the Netherlands, get the game but still be able to redeem?

[superhyper]

Yes (unless they made some major changes compared to X360). I'm quite sure you don't need to buy the game before the console, I think the LCE will be available in the Netherlands when the console will be released :)

[bartkramer]

I would believe so, but that is a good question. Are you talking as if you were to import a console, get the game and be able to redeem?

 

The plan for now is to buy the lce of forza 5 and the xbox one on the dutch market because of financial situations i have right now.

[Eudemon]

I imagine you would be fine as the Dutch and those other regions would be treated as a 'New Launch' so all codes etc would be good to for the Launch! Unless you are of course talking about the possibility of a sell-out of the Limited Edition before it reaches you in 2014, then I guess it would come down to if Microsoft are allocating a set amount for everyone or they are putting their eggs all in one basket.

[iLLGT3]

At this rate, I'm going to have Xbox One games before I have an actual Xbox One.

[bartkramer]

At this rate, I'm going to have Xbox One games before I have an actual Xbox One.

 

The same here haha.

 

Oh, and a pro tip: Never run over a bunny with 120 km/h+ The entire engine is out atm because some got in the engine :/
