Minus about six of these cars, this looks pretty much like my west coast garage...yep.

@SonyPSP:

"Part one of the six-part series concentrates on European exotics,"

"Isn't this a worldwide site? In Europe they are just super cars. Again gamespot shots itself in the foot with their pro American comments."

...The terms "exotic" and "supercar" are mostly interchangeable here, and don't merit your anti-american rant. The writer is referring to the rarity of the vehicles, not the location of the manufactures.

A vehicle is considered "exotic" when factors (such as groundbreaking styling elements) elevate it to a platform clearly a cut above it's mass production counterparts. The phrase 'exotic' also refers to manufacturer's status of having a high level of exclusivity.

The big difference between the terms 'exotic' and 'supercar' hinges on performance. Basically, all supercars are considered exotic de facto, however not all exotics are supercars. A good example would be the above-listed Porsche Boxster S. This car is clearly 'exotic,' (considering it's stylings, racing prestige and high price point) however, it is not a 'supercar' by anyone's definition.

The Lamborghini Murcielago is a good example of an exotic supercar. This vehicle is considered exotic by car collecters on both sides of the Atlantic. Along the same lines, (though domestically made) the Saleen S7, Ford GT40 or Panoz Esperante GTR-1 are considered exotics in the states, because of their rarity, design, cost and prestige.

"I guess this will run at a pathetic 25fps like the first game? (gt4 was 60fps...) Another thing if forza owns everything why did it sell only sell 2 million copies?(gt4 sold 34 Million)."

Unlike the laughable framerate of a game like Gundam Crossfire, (for the PS3) Forza 2 runs at 60 fps in high-def.

Please take your anti US, sony fanyboy trollings elsewhere.

1955 Porsche Spyder..... yeeeaaahhhh

yeah 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo

Forza is by far the best racer i think (beside mario kart ha) I hope there is more Ferrari's though.

skeme23
Forza Motorsport is easily the most realistic racing game there is simple as that.Gran Tourismo is boring,unrealistic sim for people who like collecting cars that handle nothing like the real thing

watercandle
whiplash, Forza has that kind of car, like Audi TT or Honda Civic, etc.

syrik22
I owned Forza and GT4. Got so bored of GT4 I gave it away.

whiplash
These cars are boring. What I like about other racing sims is that I can race in cars that I have a chance of driving some day.

George_GameGuy
Forza Motorsport 2 runs at a smooth 60 frames-per-second, with high-defintion resolution! Forza Motorsport 2 is the BEST LOOKING racing game I have EVER seen!!!

Please understand THESE facts before you abuse gt4 with your anti Sony rantings.

ok heres some stuff to set the record straight to those who just dont know a thing .... lol the bugatti veyron is not over rated wat are you kidding me becuase it does over 250 doesnt mean anything the car does like over 100 in like 6 seconds pure fast and yes that car can deff handle on the track preaty good they were making the car for 5 years .... lol and who said that these graphics dont look better then test drive unlimited your a funny person LOL hahah pgr3 looks way better then test drive unlimited ... that was a crazy statement

Nicktay26
Actually the CLK GTR was grossly overpriced and not actually that good. Some of the current AMG Mercedes are amazing. I've driven the SLK55 AMG and it is a phenomenal car, trust me on that.

Autolycus
MERCADIES (sp) suck in real life(GTR not included). I bet it will be in here...

Autolycus
DOOM_SONYMAN Autolycus YES THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER BUT I HAVE THE DEMO OF MOTORSTORM AND THE GAMEPLAY AND PRESINTATION IS WAY BETTRER THEN THIS CRAP

blah blah blah fanboy blah blah blah
I support the PS3, i dont suppor the price or quality
spread the hate

Aaron_130
i'm wanting PGR4 more than this, but i'll give this a look once it's released

Nicktay26
Where's is Pagani? None of the Zonda's seem to be in the game On top of that there doesn't seem to be any of the amazing Mercs (such as the Mclaren Mercedes SLR). Still some sweet cars from the world's best manufacturers

Point being? PS3 has nothin besides graphics for a game tat took 3 years to develop? that'll show us . lets see i'll take realistic PHYSICS over fancy looing graphics all the way. And 360 COULD produce the exact sae game as motorstorm(being thats it is fully capable of it, but why waste time on all looks and no meat)

Autolycus
yeah but GT handles like ....lets see...NOTHING IN REAL LIFE! Yes im serious and yes i know better then most

The best part of this lol is the pic. LOL may someday be used to promote Gran Turismo 5.

Nice list cant wait to see the rest, i hope sony try not to use forza pics like they did with PGR3 for there games.

ticalmc2k2
Most of those "puny" cars in GT are used for training and license competitions which I think is more suitable than trying to get a license in a Ferrari. And some of the other cars are more for merit, which doesn't add to gameplay, but most people would rather have them because they are still cool to earn. It's kinda like achievements w/ xbox/

ObiKKa
This is just 1 of da reasons why the Forza brand is so much greater than the Gran Turismo franchise, coz Forza just only focuses on the high-powered cars, not padding it with an even greater list of cars that are puny, weak, everyday, casual cars that you see in real-life on the roads in Gran Turismo. It's so boring, & offensive it just makes you want to explode your mind for even considering looking at one of them in the game, let alone just racing them!

"Sort of odd that a 35 car list is supposed to be 1/6 of the 300+ cars, however..."

No, it's not like that! The number will vary - you'll be seeing variable numbers of cars in the other parts. Read carefully.

"Just heard the top PC racer GTR 2 is coming to 360 in March. This along with Forza 2. God it's great being a 360 owner."

No, a port of the ORIGINAL GTR game is coming out for the Xbox 360, which could be a turn-off, as that game's got a lot of minor flaws that combines to make it rather off-putting (eg. no rain, occasional instances of awkward physics [a car jumping up into the air after being squeezed between a wall, & a car], etc). Perhaps the team will make some additions, or changes to the port to be more in line with those of GTR2.

No Vauxhall Chevete ? are you serious ?

bozco-mkd
can we just have 1 metro.............lol

ummmmmm....Lamborghini

fooldog01
They are going to release cars for it over xbox live so I won't complain about the lack of the lp640 or the veyron. Mainly because I hate the veyron though.

Gil-galad1986
@romaithy

The Lamborghini LP640 is probably the one meant here, as the date mentioned is 2005. I also want to remind all of you that italian cars RULE!!!

almroks
awesome! I can't wait to play it....

ticalmc2k2
This game will be very good at the least and should hold racing sim fans over at least until GT5 releases. Do they have a demo for this yet?

Illidan311
not buying unless they put a Kia sedan in the game

reckeweg
Awesome, can't wait to play this one.

romaithy
The Lambo LP640 should be up there too, as for the Bugatti i dont think that we're gonna see it in a video game anytime soon, and i dont think the Veyron is racing friendly, maybe just a lap or 2, as flatout it empties its tank in 12 minutes.

Berem
One racing sim to rule them all...

blackace
I just want to drive the 2005 Lamborghini Murcielago & 2002 Ferrari Enzo Ferrari. Man, they are going to have a lot of great cars in this game. I wonder how many cars in total they will have? I've gotta pre-order this game.

terrabreak13
I hope that the 911 GT1 will eventually make the list since that is the fastest. Nice to see the Carrera GT. That has always been one of my favorites. I wonder how that 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (997) will perform.

Autolycus
HDready the veyron is too overated its like theres never been a 250mph car built before but the list of ferraris is mental just imagin how many other car there will be
----
The veyron goes 0-187 back to down to 0, in 14.0 flat. No other STREET car on the planet does that. Plus to VR8's is a massive thing to worry about. Unless you know the possiblities of a VR6(buggatti is owned by VW) you dont know why this is such an amazing vehicle.

Taijiquan
CAn't wait to slam a Lambo into a wall!

Autolycus
nappan Turn left, rinse, repeat. It's boring in real life and it's even more stale on a console. Make videogames that let us do things we can't in real life, like vehicle combat, extreme offroad, or burnout style. These hardcore branded car sims are always painfully boring.
------
A) this isnt nascar, which takes the intelligence of a peanut to drive in(until you actually STAND on the real nascar track, you have no say in this) B)Road racing is A LOT more difficult then you may think. Again more proof that you have no idea what it takes to race a car. Racing isnt just getting in a car and pushing teh gas and letting off the gas. Its all about weiht control....read that again...weight.....control

TTDog
I try.

TTDog: "Its only offensive to rabid fanboys, any normal gamer would just laugh it off, if you use a competitors product (especially one thats a year old) to pulicise your new racer (that supposedly beats the year old product hands down) you should expect to take a bit of stick.

I'm just suprised someone at Gamespot had the wit to come up with such a line."

good man

VolcanoMan001
Excellent! We inch one more day closer to giving my awesome 360 steering wheel more work!!

Phaje
that screenshot is heaven on earth. i have no hope of ever affording one of those euro exotics so i must settle for a game with them in it. at least if i crash in a race, the car won't be completely wrecked like in real life

TVR_Fan
EmperoroSamoth there will be cheaper cars included in the game.
