Jube drops some information about this month DLC.

"Just wanted to pop in and confirm that next week (possibly a small tidbid later today as well) there will be info on the April car pack.

The release date I can confirm, it will be released on April 13th."

The auction house leaked list:

Acura TSX
BMW X6M
Gumpert Apollo
Holden W427
Lotus Evora T124
Mazda 3 '10
Mclaren MP4-12C
Mercedes SLS AMG
Mini Coupe
Peugeot 308 (RCZ?)
Renault Megane (III RS?)
Subaru B4 2.5
Vauxhall insignia VXR

+ Mercedes C63 AMG

This is the supposed list, but it's strange that there aren't any Audi's.

 

[[empty space]]

if thats the real list, ill be passing on this car pack.

 

[Terronium-12]

Full of win, but then again I'm an exotics person.

The only thing that should be avoided is that X6M.

 

[Jay]

Are R&T really selecting the car pack or are MS insisting on putting automotive titles on their car packs?

We already know the W427 exists in FM3 for a while now, nice of R&T to 'select' it.

 

[Moglet]

UGH, more new stuff. When are those awesome Jalopnik classics packs coming out?

 

[Joey D]

MINI Coupe? I'm sold.

 

[YSSMAN]

Wait wait wait wait...

The Vauxhall Insignia VXR? HELL YES!


Oh, and the SLS is good too.

 

[Terronium-12]

The pack sucks, it is nothing like what's on the leaked list, in fact, it looks like the only thing that made it was the C63.

Not even, make that the E63.

Do you have a source b/c R&T have only unveiled 3 cars so far.

All we have so far is:
Seat Leon Cupra R '09
Mazda MX-5 Superlight
And possibly, the Bentley Continental GT SuperSports.

I could post every single picture right now, if you'd like?

Please, do so. It'd be a first for FC to have fallen behind on leaks.

 

[Terronium-12]

Check Post #15 for the photos starting from tomorrow at 8AM.

 

[McLaren]

All I see are links to spy shots & FM.net attempting to guess what was there.

 

[Terronium-12]

Are you serious?

I'll have to host them somewhere and send them to you then.

 

[Terronium-12]

Should be able to see everything now that it isn't being linked from the R&T blog anymore.

This is what the list (preliminary, no less, but judge for yourself) looks like..

- '10 Seat Leon Cupra R
- '09 Mazda MX-5 Superlight
- '10 Bentley Continental GT
- '10 Mini Coupé Concept
- '10 Vauxhall Insignia VXR
- '10 Renault Mégane RS
- '10 Mercedes E63 AMG
- '10 Ford Taurus SHO
- '10 Holden HSV w427
- '10 VW Scirocco R

 

[YSSMAN]

Frack! A Ford Taurus SHO!?

No, just that alone justifies the price of the pack. Seriously.

 

[McLaren]

Ugh, have to think about it. Not to fond of the cars.

 

[alba]

Pass for me ;(

 

[YSSMAN]

Ugh, have to think about it. Not to fond of the cars.

I think this pack is really going to be decided by the kind of cars that you're into and the kind of racing you like to do online. I like the lower class cars, the kind that pack a wallop and no one expects it.

I don't know. I really want that Holden & the Mercedes/Mini/Bentley/Mazda wouldn't be too bad.

Maybe later in the month when I feel like I've got $6 just to throw away.

 

[Eric.]

Hopefully the E63 will be fun. I had to settle for swapping the SLR V8 into my C320. That car would be hilarious on the streets, complete with its V6 Kompressor badges. Its only, eh, 750hp? Will do about 220mph. =3

Is there a date set for this?

 

[Terronium-12]

The 13th. Next Tuesday, basically.

 

[YSSMAN]

Weird that this one is beating the Forzalopnik pack to market. Then again, that is the one worth waiting for.

 

[notsofast]

Looking forward to E63, rather a C63 though but they both sound good.

 

[Pebb]

I was hoping for some more TVR's.

 

[Rue]

Ohhhhhh, I wanted the Gumpster...

 

[Terronium-12]

Ohhhhhh, I wanted the Gumpster...

In addition to the SLS and MP4-12C.

Also, I want my damn CCX.

 

[LaBounti]

Looks interesting. I'm sold on the gumpert(why the attention now, it was in pgr3?), SHO the SLS and the E63.

And PGR4.

For me, it'd be nice to see it in a Sim. I don't count Shift for obvious reasons.

 

[LaBounti]

Hmm shift is more fun imo even if less real, but then again I did not feel that way before I got my G27. Its in Raceon for PC.
