The development team at Turn 10 spent the last several months telling you all about the incredibly deep and realistic features included in the game, but soon you'll be taking the game for a test drive on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace—the rumors of a downloadable demo are true, and the details on timing will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

The Forza crew also revealed more from Forza Motorsport 2's extensive car list as well. This week, we're unveiling the aftermarket production cars in the game, with rare models including the Tommy Kaira Skyline from Nissan and the VeilSide Supra Fortune from Toyota.
"The only difference between the game and
reality is that you're not risking life and limb
when you hit a wall at 200 m.p.h."
—Dan Greenawalt, Turn 10 Studios
These souped-up favorites are sure to bring some spice to the track as they round out the game's list of production cars. Be sure to check out forzamotorsport.net for the latest screenshots of all the new cars, as well as this week's Pitpass report featuring as Dan and Che "geeking out" on car physics and realism.
New Standard
From true Force Feedback to online tournaments, from Xbox LIVE Auction House to the unmatched Livery editor, Forza Motorsport™ 2 will truly set a new standard for the racing genre. According to Game Director Dan Greenawalt, "Soon, everyone will get a taste of the raw horsepower the Xbox 360™ game engine has provided as we redefine what it means to be a racing simulator with Forza Motorsport 2."
Test your street rod against other custom racers.
Dan explained some of the calculations that make Forza 2 such a realistic racing sim. "From hundreds of thousands of physics parameters captured from countless man-hours taking track measurements and capturing car data, to harnessing the power of the industry's most advanced neural-network search algorithms, non-linear and linear math models, as well as A.I. simulation systems from our Microsoft Research Labs, we've turned mountains of real world raw data into a living, breathing racing simulator where the only difference between the game and reality is that you're not risking life and limb when you hit a wall at 200 m.p.h."
The May 29 release date for Forza Motorsport 2 is approaching fast, and fans the world over have been responding in a big way, with pre-orders for the game on pace to double the original Forza Motorsport.
