Tbh, the car packs in the LCE aren't swaying me. I've been upgraded to the Day One edition by Amazon. They will eventually release the VIP deal after release, don't fret. They did it before

[Richy59]

Since I can't get onto FM.net at work as it is blocked is there a list of the LCE car pack cars?

[Standaman94]

Limited Edition Car Pack – This five-car pack features new cars that are already destined for legendary status. Each car in the “Forza Motorsport 5” Limited Edition Car Pack will feature a Limited Edition livery and will be tuned to the top of its respective class. The cars in the “Forza Motorsport 5” Limited Edition Car Pack include*:

• 2011 Audi RS3 Sportback – More than a mere grocery-getter, the RS3 Sportback marries performance with practicality. The result is a 340-horsepower grin-generator that will paste your head to the back of the seat and not crack a single egg in the process.
  
  
• 2012 Aston Martin Vanquish – As comfortable on the track as it is on cozy country lanes, the Aston Martin Vanquish is equal parts refined style and snarling, road-taming grit.
  
  
• 2013 Ford M Shelby Mustang GT500 – While the GT500’s aggressive lines suggest raw power and straight-line speed to spare, the sound of that big 5.8-liter V8 simply screams, “Get out of the way!”
  
  
• 2013 McLaren P1™– The successor to McLaren’s legendary F1, the McLaren P1™ is an automotive highlight reel: technological innovation, gorgeous contours, and pure, unapologetic performance. Epic, legendary, astounding – words tend to fail when describing this car’s limitless potential.
  
  
• 2013 SRT Viper GTS – The return of the Viper has been celebrated by automotive fans worldwide. With an 8.4-liter V10 that’s capable of pushing the GTS to a top speed north of 200 mph, the 2013 Viper GTS has once again firmly entrenched its spot near the top of the American Muscle hierarchy.
  

VIP Membership – Forza Motorsport 5 VIPs enjoy exclusive benefits, including 2x player reward acceleration, access to exclusive multiplayer events, an exclusive in-game player card badge, and in-game gifts from the Forza community team.** VIPs will also have access to the Forza Motorsport 5 VIP Car Pack, featuring five amazing cars only available to VIP members, including:

• 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C — Marketed as “the fastest streetcar in the world,” the 427 S/C is the most desirable of all the Shelby Cobra variants. Out of the 100 that were planned only 53 were built. They are nothing less than a purpose-built race car converted at the last minute for street use.
  
  
• 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird — Dubbed the “Yellowbird” by journalists during a test drive event, the 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird earns its name thanks to the canary-like chirping of its twin turbo blow-off valve. Just 29 of these cherished classics were built.
  
  
• 1991 Mazda #55 787B – One of the most beloved race cars of all time, the 787B holds the distinction as being Japan’s only winner of a 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Featuring a brash green and orange livery and an unmistakable screaming Wankel rotary engine, the 787B continues to inspire more than 20 years after its debut.
  
  
• 2011 Ford F150 SVT Raptor — Say hello to your rear view mirror's worst nightmare. The Raptor is essentially a factory-built pre-runner race truck with suspension to match its under-the-hood muscle. Slide it, jump it, whatever you like — it just begs for more.
  
  
• 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – Even among hypercars, the Veyron Super Sport stands alone. After all, this is the car that currently holds the Guinness record for “World’s Fastest Car” at speeds approaching 270 mph.
  

Day One Car Pack – This three-car pack features amazing cars from Lamborghini, Audi, and Ford; each with a Day One-themed livery and custom tuning package created by the experts at Turn 10. The Day One Car Pack includes the following cars*:

• 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe – Stuffed stem to stern with modern tech, the TT RS is the first TT model to carry Audi’s famed RS badge – a distinction that’s earned on the track from the moment you step on the gas.[/font]
  
  
• 2013 Ford Focus ST -- Debuting with the same 247-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine from the much larger Ford Explorer SUV, the new Ford Focus ST packs a serious punch. 
  
  
• 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera – Like great sculpture, the Superleggera’s chiseled form is carefully considered for maximum impact. That’s where the similarities end, however, because this work of art is best appreciated when it’s moving at top speed.
  

* The cars featured in the Limited Edition Car Pack and the Day One Edition Car Pack of Forza Motorsport 5 have been customized with unique Xbox One liveries and feature custom tunes designed by the developers at Turn 10 to improve performance above their stock counterparts. The stock versions of these cars will also be available on disc in Forza Motorsport 5.
** Requires paid Xbox Live Gold subscription for online multiplayer features.

The Facebook post of that LE announcement is continuing to get people questioning why Turn 10 can't just "port it" to the X360.

I don't think generic consumers realize what "advancements in processing power" implies.

[CQR Rogue]

LCE edition will be pre-order when live

[Ax4x Bandit]

Every single one of those cars except for the P1 were in Forza 4. -_-

[Standaman94]

^ exactly, so you're not missing much

[Matt]

The RS7 wasn't either....

In anycase, they will all be betterer...erer. Well that worked in my head anyway.
Note the R18 etron in the imagery too

I think you're talking about the RS3?

[LMR DarthMario]

Note: the RS7 on the cover isn't in any of those LCE car packs. That's imo a fail and a half

[Matt]

Bugger that's a misread from me

[theboomeranga]

well, in previous forza games, the ' game's car' was always the car you first race and on the cover etc. now it's something you need to pay extra for?
a lil confused at the moment
but pretty keen to get it now, the close to release day it is, the more excited i am

[Richy59]

The Audi R8 wasn't an LCE car for Forza 3, neither was the new M5 for FM4 I think?

Either way, I'm buying the LCE and Day One Editions

[Ax4x Bandit]

I'm pretty sure the NSX from Forza 1 was in the game from the start.  The 350Z on the cover of Forza 2 was a special edition car, but the regular 350Z was in the game.  The Forza 3 cover car was in the game.  The cover car for the regular edition of Forza 4 was in the game and that was the 458 Italia.  The M5 is the cover car for the LCE of Forza 4, which was also an LCE car.

The M5 I believe was free DLC, not LCE.

[Ax4x Kane]

Is there not an ultimate edition where I can get every car from launch. I hate all these different editions.

[CQR HABURi]

The 2012 Vanquish wasn't in Forza 4 either I believe, but was in Horizon.

[LMR DarthMario]

then the BRZ or the BRZ GT300 better be in FM5.

[Guest]

So... eagled-eyed CQR Shifty was right... Spa is in Forza 5!

"The addition of Spa-Francorchamps to “Forza Motorsport 5” will surely be music to Forza fans’ ears. Nestled in the Ardennes countryside of Belgium, the 4.3-mile Spa track is home to legendary corners like “La Source” and “Eau Rouge” and has been one of the most requested tracks from fans since the Forza series’ beginning. Laser-scanned and meticulously recreated at 1080p and 60fps, Spa makes its franchise debut in “Forza Motorsport 5”. We’ll have more on Spa, including screenshots of the track in the future, so stay tuned!"

New interview with Dan Greenawalt too:

[theboomeranga]

now all we need is Bathurst and we'll be set, but we all know that'll never happen...
to turn 10 it's like Australia doesn't exist, or barely exists
no Australian Drivers (don't really care about that) 7 Australian cars (12 really, but the fords are apparently American), one of which (Joss), I've never even heard off and i'm from the bloody country?
get you're sh*t together T10 and listen to the public, Spa and Bathurst were the two most requested tracks for both FM4 and FM5 with Monaco close behind, we have Spa, now we just need the mountain

i will add though, i'm keen to do a V8s race at Spa!!!

[Matt]

I think there might be an addition to the TEC next season...

[Wooflers]

Alright alright alright.

New Silverstone's in there as well right?

[Guest]

Well they said they've gone back and 'laser scanned' old tracks (as in old Forza tracks), so if they've done that with Silverstone I guess they'll have laser scanned the new layout?

[CQR Rogue]

2014 SPA 24 GT3 starts here ><
