Forza Motorsport 4 will finally get Porsche cars in an upcoming downloadable content. The Xbox 360 racing title had originally been blocked by Electronic Arts from having the famous car model.
The DLC will include 30 Porsches, including seven cars that will be new to the series, 20 new events, and 10 Achievements for 250 Gamerscore. The car models were built from the ground up for Forza Motorsport 4, and not ported from the Porsches from Forza 3.
According to Turn 10 director Dan Greenawalt, it was all a matter of negotiations that ran long. ”We never walked away from the table, EA never walked away from the table, Porsche never walked away from the table. We’d keep talking, trying to find terms, trying to come to a common agreement - everybody wanted to bring Porsche to the fans,” he said.
”EA wanted to bring Porsche into Forza Motorsport, they were not against it, we just had to find the right terms that gave equity to the license.” He added
No price has been announced for the Porsche expansion pack yet. ”This is an expansion pack, so it will be more in the expansion pack realm rather than the car pack realm,” said Greenawalt.
