Forza FilmSpeed
This is absolutely amazing, behold...
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/Forza_FilmSpeed
In “Forza FilmSpeed,” fans enter the track with Foust as he grips the wheel of the McLaren 12C and watch as he hits speeds upwards of 120 mph while filming. The carbon fiber structure of this $300,000 supercar has been outfitted with an additional several hundred pounds -- and tens of thousands of dollars of high-tech equipment -- in building a Hollywood-strength, purpose-built HD camera rig with the sole goal of capturing the world’s fastest zoetrope. Acclaimed automotive director and rally champion Jeff Zwart directed the project, which was developed after months of careful research and preparation.
Invented in 1834 by William Horner, the zoetrope is a simple device that turns static pictures into moving images. Small illustrations are placed equal distances apart inside the bottom of an open drum and when spun, the static illustrations produce the illusion of motion; the faster they go, the more fluid the animation. Filmmakers today have far more advanced technologies at their disposal, but the basic concept of the zoetrope rings true. The more illustrations you use and the faster you flip between them, the smoother the animation. Forza FilmSpeed emulates this technology by translating the speed via racetrack, a top stunt driver, and an incredible supercar.

Agreed. But dat 2013 R8 doe.
Somehow, I don't see them unveiling the cars you listed until they're like a week away from release day or until the game is actually out.

Oh. My. God.
For Forza Motorsport 5, we are adding a new tier to the Forza Rewards structure (giving us six tiers total). Now here’s where it gets good: Assuming you are at least Tier 2 at the time of the launch of Forza Motorsport 5, you’ll earn a brand new car that will be sent directly to your Forza 5 garage, as well as credits that can be redeemed today and will be available for you the moment you begin playing Forza Motorsport 5.
Here’s how the cars and credits rewards break down by tier level in Forza Motorsport 5:
Tier 2: Ford Fiesta ST + 10,000 Credits

Tier 3: Audi RS 7 + 20,000 Credits

Tier 4: Ferrari F12berlinetta + 40,000 Credits

Tier 5: McLaren P1™ + 80,000 Credits

Tier 6: 160,000 Credits
Not a bad gift in the bunch. So that’s good news. Better news: Forza Rewards are stackable! So, if you are Tier 3 or above, you’ll get that tier level’s gifts plus ALL of the lower tier gifts. Get all the way up to Tier 5, for example, and you’re talking about a serious head start on launch day, with four awesome cars in your garage and a fat stack of 150,000 credits burning a hole in your virtual pocket. The best news of all is that you’ve still got time to level up! If you have your eyes on that big credit bonus or that P1™, there are still a few weeks to jump back in to the Forza games in your collection, earn some points, and make it happen before Forza Motorsport 5 launches on November 22. So, get to driving!

Not liking what I'm reading in here:
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-US/new...Showroom_final
Are you kidding me?! Only 200 cars for a game like this? And with the car packs we get 6 months, right? 10 cars each, that's only 60 cars. Wtf. Forza 4 had 400 on disc if I remember correctly.
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-US/new...Showroom_final
Below are the remaining titans of the automotive industry that are ready to throw down on the tracks of Forza Motorsport 5. Together with the previous weeks reveals this makes for 200 cars included on disk with a regular cadence of car packs slated for the future.
I got to play forza 5 on the xbone today! The feedback in the l and r triggers is pretty badass. I raced the mclaren mp12-4c or whatever it's called around Laguna Seca.
Pretty cool, you feel it when on the gas and definitely on the brakes, and it varied in its pulsing from fast pulsing to slower pulsing. I've never driven a race car but it felt like it was a good representation of what it'd feel like hitting the brakes going into a corner.
I think it's a killer feature for the xbone.

Graphics wise I'd say there's a bout a 25-30% improvement in quality. I've never played forza 4 only 3 (extensively) but there was a noticeable improvement.
I played it at the Microsoft kiosk in my local mall so if you got one nearby check it out.

On another positive note, I'm 131 points from Tier 5.
Got into Season 3 in Forza 3 last night and got Driver Level 25.
But I have NO money now.
I had to buy an R3 car to race in the weekend shit.
