LONDON – 11 May 2010 - This spring, turn heads and ignite your inner car-collector-passion with “The Exotic Car Pack” for “Forza Motorsport 3.” Brought to you by developers Turn 10, “The Exotic Car Pack” introduces a roster of rare boutique brands for the first time ever to the franchise. Available for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace starting today, the “Exotic Car Pack” features ten distinctive vehicles that represent the pinnacle of automotive power and design.
This new car pack adds must-have jaw droppers to your showroom, including the SSC Ultimate Aero, the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest speed achieved by a road legal car (257 MPH). Also along for the ride is the Radical SR8 LM, which is famous for setting the fastest lap time on Nürburgring Nordschleife by a road legal production car (6 minutes and 48 seconds).
The “Exotic Car Pack” features 10 stunners that come ready to race, paint and tune:

For car fans wanting a sample of this exotic download, Turn 10 is offering the Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 as the free downloadable car of the month. Celebrating Spyker’s involvement in the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the LM85 gives “Forza Motorsport 3” players the unique opportunity to push one of the rarest and most elite cars in the world to the brink. Paying homage to the Le Mans theme, only 24 real life LM85s will be manufactured, but with your copy of “Forza Motorsport 3,” you can get behind the wheel and feel the exhilaration for yourself, accelerating from 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds and hitting top speeds of more than 185 MPH.
