Porsche To Be Included in Future Forza Games From Day One
Tired of paying extra for Porsche? Rejoice, as the new long-term partnership makes that a thing of the past.

This article was published by Kyle Patrick (@SlipZtrEm) on April 18th, 2017 in the Forza category.

Rejoice! I'm dreaming of the variety of Porsches they can (and hopefully will) include in Forza 7. So many legendary race cars to include and so many similar shaped 911s that some people can't tell the difference between also!

Good, great actually. Now we can replace the Porsche packs with Volkswagen packs.

 

[GroupB]

Suddenly it's 2009.

 

[AudiMan2011]

It was inevitable since the Porsche license went open season. Looking forward to plenty of classic and modern Porsches in FM7.

Hahaha, good one :-)

Meanwhile.... at another studio....

 

[breyzipp]

See, no need to buy the Horizon 3 Porsche Car pack.

Now we just need VW, Skoda and SEAT

Saab? De Tomaso?

Saturn, Kia

Saturn, Kia

Ooh we're going the silly route huh? Aztek? TaMo? .... ooh wait...

And this is relevant why?

And this is relevant why?

That's what I was wondering, too.

hope fm7 gets the new gtlm porsche

 

[MockngBrd]

*gimme a 944 Turbo pls*


maybe the Moby Dick too

 

[BoneSawTX]

917's, all of them

 

[Fat Tyre]

Was expecting this to be the case, great news. I hope that they remodel those standard looking cars I saw on the Forza 6 pack.

I knew the moment T10 announced they would partner up with Porsche this would happen. This is fantastic news and I'm extremely looking forward to seeing Forza Motorsport 7 at E3 and what porsches they'll have at day one.

I don't even feel worried on what they will achieve, because I know T10 and PG had (so far) never let us fans down as of yet. 👍

FM3, the last game that featured Porsches from day one featured 33 cars at the end of its life cycle with DLC and whatnot... Granted a lot of those cars have been replaced since then, but I don't think it's too optimistic to expect FM7 to launch with something like 35-40 cars, right around what Chevy, Ford and Ferrari usually have.

Now we just need VW, Skoda and SEAT

Has Skoda come up with anything interesting in the past 20 years? I'd really like to see the TCR Golf and Seat make an apparition, but unless T10 brings something new to the party (or back, like the Karmann Ghia that was in FM4) I don't really care about the multiple versions of the GTi or Golf R32/R we've had to play with... I get the feeling T10 not having to bother with VW for FH3 gave them a bit more space to get creative with the car list, which is something I wouldn't mind with FM7 either...

Saturn, Kia

Kia's actually got some really interesting stuff that would fit really well in the game, all jokes aside.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

Good to hear, there really would be no excuse not to.

So in the long run, Forza 5 was the only Forza game not to have Porsche, The only mention of them was that bridge you drive under at Circuit de La sarthe.

Hopefully whatever the issue with VW is can be sorted, and Forza 7 should have a pretty solid car roster

 

[Aerocoupe]

Actually, I wouldn't mind an early 90s Saturn SC to play around with (or any of the other econo-sport coupes from the day, like the Geo Storm, Mazda MX3, Nissan NX, etc.).

Volkswagen in the reply I quoted. Look at the time index I linked it.

So you saw one word and posted a video that has to do with the one word?

Still not exactly relevant to that post

And 30 or 31 of those were liveries for the 911 RSR & 911 Cup

Nah they were totally different cars, like those 21 NA Miatas in GT5

Maybe not to the original topic but certainly very much relevant to that post I quoted.

I expect great things from FM7. Porsche included at Day 1 is just part of the heightened expectations. If they can include the sort of amazing road car variety they managed in FM4 (Pinto, Continental, MGA, Austin-Healey, Corvair, Barracuda, etc) with a continuing expansion of historic race cars like in FM5 and 6 (sports-racers from the late '60s, F1 cars from 1966/7, 1976, and the Grand Prix racers from the 1930s/40s/50s, FM7 will simply be the best racing sim yet. Porsche 917 vs. Lola T70? Yes please.
