Free Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 Launched for Forza Motorsport 3

Turn 10 and Microsoft have launched yet another downloadable content pack for Forza Motorsport 3, called the Exotic Car Pack. All those interested in getting ten new cars to race around with need to log into the Xbox Live Marketplace and pay 400 Microsoft Points, which is the equivalent of 5 dollars.

These are the cars included in the new Exotic Car Pack: the SSC Ultimate Aero; the JOSS JT1; the Weismann GT MF5; the Devon GTX; the Spada Codatronca TS; the Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85; the Mosler MT900s; the Q1 Rossion; the Radical SR8 LM and the Gumpert Apollo.

Turn 10 and Microsoft are doing the smart thing and also offering one free car for those who own Forza Motorsport 3, showing them what they might be missing on by not buying the Exotic Car Pack. The Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 can be downloaded from inside the game and will give the player control over a supercar, which can get from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4.5 seconds with the top speed going over 300 km/h. In a nod to the world famous 24 Hours Le Mans race, only 24 Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 cars will ever be created, which means that the best chance for player to race one comes courtesy of Forza Motorsport 3.

Turn 10 has put out quite a bit of downloadable content for its racing title, aiming to extend its life span well into 2010. Players can get access to both classic racing cars and modern muscle vehicles.

The game received quite a few awards for its portrayal of racing and is the current champion of the genre. It's only rival, Gran Turismo 5 from Sony and Polyphony Digital, is still not out despite the developers assuring their fans that it is pretty much completed and only needs a few tweaks here and there.
