Forza Motorsport 4 Shows Cars

Turn Ten is planning to put out Forza Motorsport 4 soon, and with it, the huge stable of cars you will be able to drive around the tracks. There are about 500 sets of wheels waiting for you to buy, customize, trade and crash into walls. The way you get to obtain these cars is a bit more involved though:

Racing earns you in-game credits and experience. The credits can be used to buy vehicles. In addition, you can buy car tokens using Microsoft Points (real money), and buy cars with those. If you are a cheapskate though, you can always just get a free vehicle every time you level up. And you can level up 50 times. You can’t just choose any wheels whenever you level up – the choices are themed, but still quite varied within the theme itself. You get themes from Tuner Cars to German Touring Cars, and within each there’s a nice selection to choose from.

But there is a catch: In this screen you cannot see the in-game credit value of the car you have unlocked. While the prices tend to be quite close to one another for most of the cars within a certain level unlock, there’s occasionally a clear winner, like the McLaren F1, being 7 times more expensive than the Ferrari F50, for instance.

Gamespot’s list you can see over here provides the in-game prices for all the cars you get from level-ups, so you can better choose the best value if that is what you are after. Handy, that. Also, the embedded video shows each of the cars in all their glory, so you can drool over them.

Forza Motorsport 4 will be out in a couple of days in Europe, and has been out since yesterday in the US on the Xbox 360. It also has Kinect support, so you can flail while your car is flailing.
