The newest "Forza Motorsport 4" Car Pack is now available for download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, adding ten cars for Forza players to collect, drive, and customize. Available for 560 Microsoft Points, the Meguiar's Car Pack features cars from nearly the entire spectrum of automotive history; from a pre-War Ford to the latest in German asphalt-rending madness.
The Meguiar's Car Pack features the following 10 cars:
2011 Chevrolet #4 Corvette Racing ZR1 - Corvette Racing has truly made a name for itself since they began competing in 1999. In addition to more than 80 wins, several manufacturer championships, and "Green Challenge" wins, Corvette Racing and the #4 have won their class at Le Mans multiple times, including the last two out of three years.
1959 BMW 507 - Only 252 of these sleek and sensuous cars were built, in an attempt to fill the gap between the Mercedes-Benz 300SL and the much more affordable MG's and Triumphs of the era. The beatific lines were penned by Count Albrecht Goertz who designed the earlier 503. Though its run was limited, the 507 attracted celebrity owners, including "The King" himself, Elvis Presley.
1940 Ford De Luxe Coupe - It could be said that hot-rodding began with this car when our veterans came home from WWII and wanted something affordable they could work on and build up. The design reflects the Art Deco period, with its bold and sweeping lines and minimal flashy exterior components.
2011 Aston Martin Cygnet - One of the most prestigious brands in the automotive world has decided to enter the city car market. The Cygnet is a front-engine around town ultra-compact that is capable of up to 106 mph. The 97 horsepower four-cylinder delivers optimum mileage and with the Aston accoutrements provides its passengers distinctive creature comforts.
1958 MG MGA Twin-Cam - Penned by MG Designer Syd Enever, the MGA was "the first of a new line" of MG's to come out following the TD chassis. The seats are slung lower, due to the floor being attached to the bottom of the frame sections, opposed to the top as they had been previously. Top speed was found to be 113 mph and 0-60 could be accomplished in 13.3 seconds.
1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup - The Ghibli Cup was the highest power-to-weight ratio car of its time, with its 330 horsepower, 2-liter, dual-overhead cam, 24-valve, intercooled, twin-turbo V6 and 3009lb curb weight. This luxury sport coupe delivers exhilarating performance and Italian style in a functional package.
2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series - If the AMG version isn't enough to satisfy your need for power and sophistication, the AMG Black Series takes the C63 a step further. This car offers up more than 500 horsepower by borrowing the engine from the SLS AMG supercar. To say the least, this car not only looks the role, but has the machinery to back it up.
1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird - It was deemed the "Yellowbird" by Road & Track editors during a two-day event at VW's Ehra-Lessien track where the journalists were collecting data for a story called, "The Fastest Car in the World." The blow-off valve for the twin-turbo, (the only twin-turbo 911 in the world at the time) chirps like a canary, further validating the name.
1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185 - Toyota produced 5,000 GT-Four RC ST185's to meet homologation requirements for Group A Rally competition. This version, inspired by the "Carlos Sainz Edition" racer featured 232 horsepower and distinctive hood and front bumper.
1963 Volkswagen Beetle - A car with this many nicknames - "Bug", "The People’s Car", "The Love Bug", even "Herbie" - must be a favorite. Based on Ferdinand Porsche's 1931 design, the Beeetle gave the average family a real car for the price of the motorcycle. Millions of Beetles later, this remains an automotive icon and one of the world's most popular cars.
