Forza Motorsport 6

For the full effect, you’ll want to read that title in your best Jan Brady voice.

With the recent reveal of the ultra exclusive Centenario and the accompanying announcement that it will be featured in the next Forza game, Lamborghini has been a hot commodity this week. As a part of the ongoing partnership between Forza Motorsport and Lamborghini, a brand new program featured exclusively in Forza Motorsport 6 has been revealed: the Lamborghini Super Trofeo race series.

Hot on the heels of the news of PC-based Apex spin-off, Turn 10 unleashed the long-awaited Porsche Expansion Pack for Forza 6 today. The pack spans six decades of the storied marque’s history, from the 1955 550A Spyder to the Le Mans-winning 2015 919 Hybrid. It also ups the track count, introducing Virginia International Raceway to the lineup with seven different layouts, as well as both night and rain variations.

Community Bounty Hunter is a divisive topic in the land of Forza. While some welcome the challenge it provides, others are frustrated by the limitations imposed on game content through the event. Case in point: this month saw the feature return to the series, with a classic Aston Martin Vantage up for grabs (returning to the game after last being seen in Forza 4).

Forza, along with other first-tier exclusives like Halo and Gears of War in the Microsoft camp, is considered a “system-seller”. Sony has Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, and of course, Gran Turismo. These games help move hardware: it’s no coincidence that the highest-selling title in Gran Turismo history (GT3) was bundled with the best-selling home console.

If at this very moment you’re reminiscing about the “King of the Track” challenges from the days of Forza Motorsport 4 to secure the elusive “Unicorn” car, know that you’re in good company.

Hot on the heels of an early DLC pack release, Amazon has showed Turn 10’s hand for the long-awaited return of Porsche to the Forza Motorsports series.

Your eyes do not deceive you. Parked up there, in all its light-green splendor, is the Pontiac Aztek. The chariot forever intertwined with one of the most interesting characters on TV in the last decade, Breaking Bad’s Walter White. Now, imagine it racing.

Forza 6 launched in September of last year with three distinct digital flavours. The Ultimate Edition came bundled with the Car Pass: a $30 upfront cost to cover the first six months worth of Car Pack DLC’s, which are normally priced at $7 each. The four packs that are currently available – the latest being the Polo Red collection – have been received favourably, while the fifth is set to be revealed next week. Now, Top Gear magazine has revealed that the DLC program will extend at least one more month.

In an announcement on Xbox.com, Xbox Wire has announced the official sales figures for Forza Motorsport 6. As of January 4th, 2016, Forza Motorsport 6 sales exceed 1 million units.

Welcome to Around The Planet. No, we’re not a Daft Punk cover band. This new feature will look at community-building threads around our forum, where folks can share their passion for that common bond, the reason we’re all here: driving, in its many forms. For the first article in the series, we’re focusing on a thread that combines two of the most popular games in our community in a creative way.

Hidden among the 918 MB update earlier this week (that covered the inclusion of the Mobil 1 Car Pack, as well as numerous fixes to the game), Turn 10 has quietly snuck a Nissan Silvia into Forza Motorsport 6. Not the oft-requested S14 generation though: this is the first generation of the venerable nameplate, a model that only saw 554 units produced, all hand-built.

Last month saw Ayrton’s dominating MP4/4 land in FM6, along with six other cars in the eBay Motors Car Pack (in addition to November’s free car, the NISMO GT-R LM). For December, variety is again the order of the day, with a little something for everyone. Two modern cars – one a bruising GT, the other an insane hypercar – are joined by two 90’s racers, a late 80’s Aussie homologation special, the last Ferrari to win overall at Le Mans, and a great big chunk of 50’s Americana.

Forza Motorsport 6 continues its monthly DLC schedule this week with the second pack since release, scheduled for release tomorrow, November 3. A predominantly racer-oriented pack, the ride taking centre stage is one of the winningest cars in F1 history: the McLaren MP4/4. Winning all but 1 race in the 1988 season – with 10 1-2 finishes no less – it has a lasting legacy on the sport, introducing the reclined seating position that is still used today. With the legendary teammates (and rivals) of Senna and Prost, it truly is a car for the history books. It’s probably not a stretch to say it should prove a popular choice for players.
