I was looking into pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition of the game and noticed there doesn't seem to be any word on what "bonus cars" actually means. Are they exclusive cars or are they just free pre-tuned cars to start you off with? If they are actually exclusive, will they be forever?

These cars will be tuned to the top of their class and players will be able to automatically add them to their garage after redeeming the code provided by the retailer. Here’s how the breakdown will work for participating U.S. retailers. Those outside of the U.S. should check with their local participating retailers to see which cars will be available per outlet."

The image of the Hellcat from the announcement shows no special livery on the car. These cars are duplicate versions of models in the regular game roster but treated as separate models due to the upgrades; players can still drive a Hellcat in the game even if they don't buy from Gamestop.

I have a very important question that everyone has been wondering. Are the Pre-order cars ONLY playable via Pre-ordering it through that retailer, or do you just get a special livery or tuned version? Because I really want the Hellcat and the Shebly GT350R, but unless I literally buy the game twice will that not be possible? I really hope it's just a specially tuned version or something...

I think you only get the bonus cars if you buy it before 27/9/16 on xbox store, am not all that bothered, I'll be per ordering mine a week before that date for the U Edition, just like I've done since Forza 1, no point changing for me now. Not botheted what paint it comes with as I paint my own stuff.

Does that mean you can only get these cars if you pre-order them from those stores, or does it mean you can only get a free, fully tuned one if you pre-order them?

"players can still drive a Hellcat in the game even if they don't buy from Gamestop." The DLC version will be a second Hellcat in the game identified by some "Team Forza" or "Edition" phrasing in its name, as with the others.

Does anyone know a way to purchase it on Xbox live but get the 488? Also is xbox dash something different to the xbox store because I wouldn't mind a tuned c63. Also will anyone post the tunes/upgrades for the exclusives so you can copy them.

Thx

Hi all,

has anyone else noticed that the 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus is the amazon pre-order car, and that the tier 4 loyalty reward is a 2016 Audi V10 Plus (This info can all be found via the homepage. the loyalty reward actually does not say 'R8', it's written as I've included it here). What does this mean? Is it possible that a pre-order car is already in the game, or is one of them a typo, or it the 2016 Audi V10 Plus actually just a different car from the R8? Am I the only one who is confused?

Edit: thanks Mods, I couldn't find where to look!

For people complaining or worrying about "Exclusive" cars from pre-order, a few days after release loads of codes will be up on ebay for a few pounds/dollars/euros/rupees/bottle caps. So worry ye not, if there's a couple of cars you want pre-order one and wait for the other.

All the pre order cars are already in the game
The pre order cars will more than likely just have special paints and tunes

I was wonder cause I buy all of my games digitally it says I will get a Mercedes Benz for pre ordering it from Xbox but I really want the hellcat but the only way is buying it from GameStop. So I was wondering is there anyway that I can buy that hellcat when the game comes out or is getting it from GameStop the only way. Thank you

Like I said, just search ebay after release for car codes, they're always on there.

I know, but most people don't even think of it. lol. It's the same with any game, people often just want the game for a quick blast and don't care about bonus content or DLC, so they sell it to recover some money from the cost of the game. I normally give away unused codes, but some people throw them on ebay for a worldwide audience and it's usually small amounts of money. Word of advice people, if you see them listed as "Rare" or "Special" items with high prices, avoid them. It's always a rip off to take suckers for their cash. In the case of Forza pre-order cars i've seen them going for 0.99c/0.99p etc. So don't pay more than a few dollars/pounds unless you REALLY REALLY want that car! lol

Are the pre-order cars and the other bonus cars will be available without pre-order the game or playing other Forza games?

It'd be nice if people not from North America could get these extra things, rather than everything being given out there...

MS Store Preorder Bonus Ford Mustang not listed on website
I see $10 gift card code listed instead. Will we still be getting the bonus car? Please look into as last time I order from them bonus code was listed on website. They would not send code after Order shipped. Claimed thete was never such code. Had to get MS, this forum and state AG involved. Finally got code month after release.

Are all these codes used up so now no bonus car for preorder? Please advise

Thanks
