Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 6 has picked up another series, in addition to the entire Formula E grid that was announced at the beginning of summer: the ever-popular V8 Supercar series from Australia. Today, straight from the official series website, the ten cars that will be present in the game come launch day were detailed, with cars from each of the five current manufacturers. With Mount Panorama returning from Forza 5, players will be able to live out the series in ways that haven’t been possible before on a console racer.
The list of included cars is as follows:
- 2015 Mercedes-Benz #4 Erebus Motorsports E63 AMG V8 Supercar
- 2015 Holden #22 Holden Racing Team VF Commodore
- 2015 Mercedes-Benz #9 Erebus Motorsport E63 AMG V8 Supercar
- 2015 Volvo #33 Wilson Security Racing GRM S60
- 2015 Holden #97 Tekno Autosports VF Commodore
- 2015 Holden #1 Red Bull Racing Australia VF Commodore
- 2015 Holden #14 Lockwood Racing VF Commodore
- 2015 Ford #5 Pepsi Max Crew PRA Falcon FG X
- 2015 Nissan #23 Nissan Motorsport Altima
- 2015 Ford #17 Xbox Racing Ford Falcon FG X
Eagle-eyed GTPlanet readers will be less surprised by this news, as many of the cars have been spotted by the community in menus for the game (or in last week’s Garage reveal, in the case of the Altima). Nonetheless, this is good news for racing fans. With the last 30-40 car reveal scheduled for this week, Forza Motorsport 6’s entire 450+ garage is nearly complete. Stick your head in our Forza 6 forums to stay on top of the latest news for the game.

Obviously this is newer/better, but the whole V8 Supercars series was available in ToCa Race Driver 1, 2, and 3 before this.
At this rate, Turn 10 are listening more to us and providing us with tons of information, yet PD are really slack with their updates at this point.
I’m seriously questioning what is going on in PD at this point.
And it makes me wonder, do you think Gran Turismo needs a reboot at this point?
That’s Fantastic News as I already pre ordered Forza 6 and The Xbox One as well!!!
Damn I don’t even think kaz works on gt anymore…all I ever see is him doing is trotting around the world getting treated like royalty at different race events. When could he possibly have time to make an epic game?
I am so impressed with the list of cars that continues to grow for Forza, all killer no fillers. There’s just one problem, I don’t own an Xbone! I’m happy with the cars I’m driving in Project CARS, but…. that list!
As long as the physics in Forza sucks(& it always has), it doesn’t matter how many awesome cars they get. Unless you like to just look at ’em.
It sounds like you played every Forza game. Do you mind elaborating on this?
I’m glad I stopped listen to comments like these and gave FM4 a shot. Clearly there are people here that have no clue what they’re talking about, but will still thrash Forza. I was a GT only player from day one to Gt5, haven’t been back to GT since and won’t be. It feels far superior in every aspect.
I totally agree with you about the ‘Huge water filled balloon pendulums hanging inside the car’ handling, murderous shunting AI, crash barriers that make you do a 360, grass like ice, and those Velcro gravel traps – especially in the earlier games. But you know what….I think there ARE people who just like to look at the cars, who just want to do a nice drive and check out the scenery and watch the replay after, I like to think of my games as a virtual magazine or car encyclopedia, and love a fully rotatable/zoom-able garage/showroom with info etc.
PD is so bad that even cars like “Nissan Motorsport Altima” isn’t added to GT yet Turn 10 added it to Forza Motorsport 6. It just shows how bad PD is with their game and that Turn 10 is better, much better…
I wish if I have the money to buy an Xbox one 1TB but sadly it’s around $434 over here. I still own a ps4 but just looking at these car list makes me want to buy an xbox one just for Forza and nothing else.
Does this mean other titles will not be able to use V8 super cars in their games?
Would hate to think another Porches situation is coming. I think its not going to be an issue.
But I don’t know for sure.
Maybe an exclusive for a limited time, but not an all out lock of other studios.
I wanted the V8 supercars in GT7, maybe we will get that Lexus hover board.
Screenshotted, just in case you are right. Lolol
Forza 6’s car list looks WAY better than GT6’s car list. We have ~445 Premium cars, including MANY invented cars by PD and carts. Forza, on the other hand, has ~450 Premium quality cars that are just incredible!! I have no intention of getting an XBox One or buying Forza 6, but the truth is the truth. Forza 6 looks out of this world.
Forza’s car list is sick! and it’s world circuit list is awesome as well. If only it’ were a simulator this game would blow away everyone.
Contrary to popular belief, Forza is as much a sim as GT is.
Wow, T10 is really stepping their game up this time!!! I like how the car list is dribbled out bit by bit as well, the tension and anticipation is really building. PD has a lot of work to do to match this car list. Simply throwing out a bunch of retreads from prior games with some seemingly random selection of 100 additional cars ala GT6 simply won’t cut it these days.
I will be getting In trouble with my WIFE on September 15… I will have to spend some of our saved money on a XBox ONE and Forza 6
:3
Extremely impressed with Forza’s car list, especially the amount and range of racing cars. PD need to announce something soon to even be able to compete, at the moment Turn 10 are on a different level!
Car list is getting epic, tempted to pick up an xbone later this year.
Yeah I’m also tempted
Me three!
Toca World Touring Cars, on playstation, have a very complete V8 supercars championship.
problem is it’s only 15 years old
Well, that’s pretty much just sealed the deal for me now. Was on the fence, now as Magic said – GT7 better be something completely amazing or there’s no point in investing in it.
This should give me several chances to wear my Australian accent.
Now I really want Forza, I guess I’ll have to see how GT goes. I’m sure PD know what to do thats if they can.
I would not miss this in GT6 if AI was as good as in Assetto Corsa and Project Cars, that have really fun compiting with AI.
For GT7 we need reals and recents FIA cars, competitions like clio cup, megane cup, etc that we CAN’T create in GT6, even by ourselves in monomodel races like we can do in GT5, i miss it a lot !
This is why I sometimes hate having a Playstation :/
Are Sony and PD dropping the ball.. GT7 will have to blow our minds.. not sure if they can even compete now..
This why I didn’t buy a new console yet. If we look at the specs logic would suggest a PS4, if we look at Forza carlist, to hell with logic!
This may be a turning point for me if they can just get the simulation part right.. On the wall as to which console to get.. waiting waiting.
The simulation side of things is very very good.
Doubt whether it’s on Gran Turismo level.
lol @ GT being considered to have a high level of simulation
I wouldn’t be laughing for long SVX if you think that GT6 physics aren’t very good..
They simulate all the important aspects of driving a real car.. it’s all about the feel and feedback letting you know what is going on.
It can be improved, and for sure will be in GT7 too.
the only problem I have with GT6 physics is the strange simulation of lift off oversteer, to achieve that I need to tune the car extensively but once I find a decent setup it’s great to drive.
Yes Assetto Corsa rFactor 2 and iRacing are better I know, but I don’t have a gaming pc at the moment.
There are many issues with GT physics including but not limited tune wonky tuning, camber doesn’t work as it should, ride height physics is backwards, tires don’t absorb/retain/shed heat like real tires, aero is way off etc. Assetto Corsa and other sims do all of these things and more. GT really isn’t in the same simulation category as racing sims, not even close really.
I am comparing it to real cars that I have owned and then driven in game.. and it’s pretty predictable.
You can’t really compare what you feel with a plastic and metal FFB wheel sitting in a chair in the comfort of your home vs. driving a real car. Fact remains that GT fails on several important levels in the simulation department. That’s not to say other games are perfect because they aren’t, but there are also degrees of accuracy and simulation and many other games do it much better.
To each their own. Why can’t people respect each others’ opinion.
Disagreeings =/= disrespecting.
