No, this isn’t a reference to Star Trek featuring the late Leonard Nimoy. Instead of performing nerve pinches throughout the Australian Outback, you’ll venture onto a more logical path as you’re tasked with getting behind the wheel of the Aston Martin Vulcan. The Aston track car is one of seven new rides set to be included in this month’s car pack offerings, if a recent leak is to be believed.
Spotted on cosmo3900’s Twitter page ahead of an official announcement expected to be made later today, the pack looks to include some impressive metal right off the bat. The leak seems to confirm an earlier suspicion of one other car, set to be featured in this very pack accompanying the Vulcan: the Valencia-built GTA Spano.
The rundown of this month’s newest rides soon to be blazing the streets of Australia are as follows:
- 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan
- 2016 BMW M2
- 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
- 1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade
- 2000 Lotus 340R
- 2016 Pagani Huayra BC
- 2016 GTA Spano
Among the heavy-hitters of the pack one might have noticed another limited edition sports car, the Lotus 340R. Built in 2000 at Lotus’ Hethel factory, only 340 examples were built – hence the name – and were all spoken for before the first model touched the assembly line. The more extreme variant of the Elise uses a custom bodyshell with the noticeable absence of doors and a roof panel.
Adopting a 1.8-liter Rover K-Series VHPD (Very High Power Derivative) powerplant, the 340R was able to blaze a trail with 177 horsepower going to the rear wheels. While not sounding like much, it’s a terrifying prospect when the car’s scant 1,485 pound curb weight is taken into consideration, and a power-to-weight ratio approaching cars with more than two-times its power.
If any of the cars featured in this month’s pack pique your interest, and we’re willing to bet quite a few will, you’ll soon be able to test drive them for yourself. Stay tuned for more details as they’re made available.

Police Interceptor package, even on a heavy car like that, is no small thing. Might be interesting to see if lights come on it… ;)
No hat tip for providing the only image? :P
Consider my cap tipped…
Isn’t it ironic that a car that’s only been build for the race track shows off in the game that’s all about the open road. Oh well. But i don’t want to complain. It is an impressive first dlc pack, that’s for sure. However, how nice it would be to have access to the new cars in both Forza games…
You should just wait for Forza Motorsport 7.
I hope the M2 is the manual one.
I hope the CJ5 is the V8 one.
I hope we can put the 2004 Cobra R engine in the CVPI so we can at least sort of make the Marauder. Which is what it should’ve been in the first place.
Welp, guess I have to coyote swap a crown vic
Now we just need a Zonda R and the P1 GTR/LM to join the FXX K and Vulcan in order to complete the set.
Sounds like a great pack.
Crown Vic!
My god I want this game so bad!
