This was an interesting touch. I'm looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.

Very odd release. I wonder how many auto-journos were left out in the cold and grabbed an uber to the LA Convention Center as soon as the first pictures showed up.

I am not sure how much I like the looks.

The front bumper looks good but the silver mesh isn't nice.

something from the side shots looks odd to me. Maybe it's the big difference in the wheel sizes between front and back. Looks bigger than an inch in the photos.

Maybe I just need to see it in the flesh. I'm on the fence.

Porsche's decade plus long partnership with Electronic Arts is over... this is good marketing for them. Not trying to sell this car to anyone here, they are trying to build hype for the brand going forward.

Lamborghini Centenario launched at Forza announcement at a game conference last year.. Ford GT launched at Forza announcement at an auto show... I feel like this is going to be a thing for Forza every year

Surprisingly, I had one of my journo buddies texting me on Saturday morning to confirm if the rumor he had heard is true. The good ones knew

No wart - Forza got it right.

Can see a screen in the diffuser space in second image.

Love it. Just hoping that it comes in special colors.

And I hope that the Weissach Pkg is available in the US.
