As cjelly said, RUF (Porsche tuning company used by developers that cant get hold of the Porsche license due to EA's exclusivity) is the closest confirmed thing we've got to Porsche right now. The official trailer released this week has the Forza community buzzing though because Turn 10 changed one scene in the trailer and in that scene there's a car looking a lot like a 2011 911 Turbo S.
For now, you should consider that Porsche is out though as nothing has been confirmed so far.
Also, that trailer you saw was the leaked one from a several months ago. It is outdated and not representative of the game at all. The racing part of the game looked much better in the E3 build. If you've missed the E3 coverage, just go to this thread.

I never understood why the Plymouth cars are also grouped under Chrysler. Plymouth was its own separate brand, with legends like the Road Runner, Cuda and Superbird.G Rom said:
And I hope an old-school Abarth 695 makes it in along with the 2009 Abarth 500 esseesse that showed up in Forza 3.
A correction on the McLaren F1. 64 is the production number for street versions. The number balloons to 106 when you count race cars and pre-production prototypes.Doodis said:

I want to see the Dodge Omni GLH-S. It was voted into the last Forza 3 DLC and then never showed. I really hope they just got it ready for Forza 4. I want to see that beast with all its 2.2 liters of Shelby tuned glory!

I always loved the side compartments on the Mac. If you weren't already a total boss pulling up in that thing, pulling your brief out of the side pod throws you way over the top!TheOddOne said:

They feel kinda spammy and forced to me, something like the valve arg leading up to the Portal 2 release that actually engaged the fans was a bit more enjoyable. The tweet and facebook spamming just happens organically then.
A new car each day sounds awesome, so bravo to Turn 10 for that. Hopefully it WILL include new cars and not just ones we already know about. And hopefully it will continue right through until release.
BUT.
Hows it going to work? Each day, the Turn 10 team will be announcing a number of Forza Garage cars on Facebook and Twitter. Then well take a look at the community response (that is, the number of comments, Facebook reposts, and re-Tweets), and well add more cars to the Forza Garage announcementsbut only if you guys are excited enough.
In other words, be good little children or Santa Claus won't come this year.
I know they are just trying to get some free viral marketing, but I really thought shit like this was beneath Turn 10. It's patronising and totally unnecessary, and gives me further concerns about the direction the franchise is heading.
Somebody needs to shop Dan's head onto a photo of the child catcher from Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.

What was that thing during FM3's marketing phase where Che/Turn 10 encouraged people to vote for something or rather?
Anyway, this "sign up and spam the shit out of us" type of thing gives me the same sort of vibe as last time... Whatever...,at least we get some form of announcements each day/week which is better than nothing at all.

Che's thing was way worse because it was to win a stupid thing on a website and didn't benefit the game very much compared to spreading the word on social networks.
The McLaren was shown in black too in the official screenshots.
You're wrong anyway, Papaya Orange McLaren F1 >>>>>>>>>>> Black McLaren F1 !
I agree, I think the problems are that we shouldn't be able to see the disc brake like that and that the rims should cast shadows.
It's weird that the tires don't look better because it was one area that they pretty much nailed in FM3.
Turn 10 is really playing with/trolling us with those reveals. The California, the McLaren F1, come on ! Next week for all we know we'll get an exclusive peek at the 458 Italia... :lol
So if the planets align, if the Maya calendar is correct and if Dan's beard is ok with it, we may have a track announcement. "Exclusive peek at
", I'm calling it ! xD

Reversible cover? Otherwise they should give us a template and allow us to put our own cars on there.Slayer-33 said:
OMG if there was a way you could output to photo mode a "cover" that you could print... put your own completely custom car on the front of an official-looking cover. Wow.
I shouldn't check GAF during important meetings - everyone wants to know why I'm giggling like a schoolgirl.supersaw said:Done.
Awesome job!
Edit: from Wikipedia's child-catcher page:
Robert Helpmann, the actor who played the Child Catcher in the film, was well liked by the child actors Adrian Hall and Heather Ripley, and Robert himself, in reality, loved children. At the end of the day when Helpmann was finished with work, he gave Adrian and Heather his facial wax add-ons.
I bet he did.

i think orange looks best with the LM but ive had a poster of a black f1 on my wall for like 10 years so im a fanboy lol
btw thanks to the new lighting engine black cars look a hell of a lot better than say in 2 and 3 where imo they looked pretty bad, especially 2

Already posted above, Kafel.
Papaya Orange should only be used on the McLaren F1 IMO, the MP4-12C doesn't deserve it and I actually think it looks better in white.
Agreed on the Lamborghini and the Ferrari except for the Enzo, Nero >>>> any other color for the Enzo.

Yeah, it looks like the rims and tyres (or at least the shaders on them) are not affected by the IBL.G Rom said:
What I find weird is that the rims look good here because they don't have the problems mentioned above :
Maybe the screenshots are from different builds or something ?
I hope they fix the problem for all cars and also the headlights that look off on FM3 cars. I still think the game looks better in motion than in any screenshot released so far. No screenshot has made me think "wow, this looks damn real". It's like there's always something off.
I don't know, maybe it's my virtual photographer eye trained to spot errors that makes me see those things above everything else... :lol
I hope their photo mode artist will get to make track screenshots soon, it should give us a better idea of the potential of the game.
No shit Sherlock...

I thought they looked great in Forza 3... but I guess they could still look strange because the rest of the car wasn't up to those standards.saladine1 said:
