14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft, Turn 10 Studios, and Playground Games have revealed that their upcoming Forza Horizon racing game is now available for pre-order, both as a standard game and as a special Limited Collector’s Edition.
Forza Motorsport 4 delivered an intense experience last year and with the upcoming Horizon, the developer of the series – Turn 10 Studios – is working with Playground Games to deliver an enhanced experience focused more on the open road.
We already heard details about the game last month at E3 2012, but now the three companies behind it have announced that Forza Horizon is available for pre-order, with special bonuses.
First up, those who pre-purchase the game automatically receive a voucher code that can be redeemed in Forza Motorsport 4 and unlocks the special 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392.
• 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392: Remember the days when American muscle was all about straight line speed and knock-you-back-in-your-seat acceleration? Those days have returned with the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392. With 470 horsepower and aggressive styling, the 2012 Dodge Challenger is beauty and brawn combined. Pre-order "Forza Horizon" and get your Dodge Challenger in "Forza Motorsport 4," now at participating retailers. What’s more, those who pre-order Forza Horizon will be able to unlock one of four distinct supercars, depending on where they get the game from, so check them out below. • 2012 Aston Martin Virage: Plush luxury meets awesome performance in the 2012 Aston Martin Virage. Comfortable enough for a long Sunday drive, yet sporting a blistering 490 horsepower V12, the Virage continues Aston Martin's legacy of creating cars that deliver prestige and performance.
• 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: While Mercedes doesn't refer to the new SLS AMG as the "Gullwing," this car is absolutely the return of the famed automotive icon. With more than 560 horsepower, the SLS AMG is a track tamer nearly without equal, and its classic, sophisticated lines will attract car lovers of every stripe.
• 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia: A new Ferrari is always cause for celebration, and you can still hear the cheers from fans of the 458.
