FM7 Massive FM7 Car Reveal... the First 167 Announced!

[Paul Jeffrey]

Now we know... the first 167 cars to feature in Forza Motorsport 7 have been revealed, with one or two surprises in store for fans of the series...

The mammoth first batch of cars revealed by Turn 10 Studios gives fans a great insight into the fantastic level of diversity coming to the new game. With historic cars from some of the best moments of motoring history, right the way through to the bang up-to-date Aston Martin DB11 of 2017, Forza Motorsport 7 appears to have a little something for everyone.

Unfortunately it does look like the developers have taken the path most trodden, namely selecting a number of unique cars that don't necessarily form a coherent full series schedule, however with the proposed launch roster of cars reaching in excess of 700 cars (yeah, 700. SEVEN HUNDRED!!), it is fair to assume that one will be able to pull together a reasonably diverse grid of similar performance machines when setting up a race event come launch day.

Interestingly the list has a couple of surprise inclusions, like the world renowned McLaren Honda MP4/4 of 1988 specification, the Formula One car that powered Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost to almost uncountable victories during that season, eventually giving Senna his first Formula One World Championship.

As with practically any racing game worth it's salt in the current marketplace, the new Forza title benefits from a number of Porsche machines, with one of the standout highlights of not only the Porsche content, but the game in general, is the 2017 specification 919 Hybrid that raced, and won, at Le Mans this year and looks odds on favourite to wrap up another World Endurance Championship victory at the close of the current season.

As can be seen from the first reveal list below, Porsche are joined in the simulation by the exceptionally difficult to secure, and all too rare, Ferrari licence. Unlike other sims with the red cars, Forza Motorsport 7 does seem to have selected a pretty interesting and unique selection of cars from the Prancing Horse. A nice mix of old and new are present in this first batch reveal, giving us some stunning models from the history of the brand, perhaps with the majestic 1948 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta immediately standing out as one to take note of come release day.

With diversity as the buzz word in this new release, the slower end of the spectrum (relatively speaking..) has also been catered for, with a number of close racing friendly machines listed, plus the odd SUV for good measure.. Oh, when I say SUV, I actually mean something a bit more sporty that the regular school run vehicle, more along the lines of the rarely seen 2014 Lamborghini Urus.. still at concept stage, but due for a 2018 release, this one is 4 wheel drive on steroids...

quantity or quality....

 

[Andy Kettler]

While it's not a full on sim, similar to Gran Turismo

Who decides this ? Unknown god of simracing ?

Everytime this nonsens lol

 

[James Hall]

Still listing liveries as separate cars to pad the car list.

The previous game didn't. Assetto Cosa yes.

Yep thats AC... Small base content and over 72€ DLC lol...

 

[James Hall]

Forza is a car collecting game. Simulation of all those cars isn't really it's strong suit.

Yes. But to say liveries are considered different cars is just ignorance. The game allows you to make your own liveries. It only has one model of each car.

 

[James Hall]

Turn 10 is a massive fraud. Well, not a fraud because they make bones about it -- they don't care about simulation. Forza should be in the same category as Grand Theft Auto, racing-wise.[/QUOTE

What an absurd statement. Forza may not be a true dedicated sim but it is not supposed to be. To say it is a fraud is just...............

 

[Nick Gregory]

Yes. But to say liveries are considered different cars is just ignorance. The game allows you to make your own liveries. It only has one model of each car.

But if the model is completely identical, then why not just have it as a color you can select when you get the car in-game?

 

[Shad3R]

Why this hate to all no simgames? F1 games,Forza and even Normal Gran Turismo (not sport) are not done to be a simulator
They are made to give the player a great experience, on the carreer mode, hours of customizing the car, building a Beetle with 900hp.
If i want to collect cars buying them i dont go to assetto corsa.
But yes as said above, if the could only improve FFB, i tested apex, and i could only feel kerbs....

AC is a new sim , well recently new in last few years ,
FM7 , Turn 10 as a massive collection of cars and tracks , I suppose if we ever see a AC7 ,
That will offer 100,s upon 100,s of cars and scanned tracks , just takes time to build the content ,
then the career modes and unlocking cars will come in the future that everyone seems to desire ,
now its just a waiting game building DLC to be able to enjoy this content for free in future releases .

 

[Peter Klawitter]

fun car collection games, arcade/ sim whatever it might be, is supposed to be fun for those who don't want a hardcare simracing title.
Forza, Gran Turismo and Project CARS (1...maybe 2?) i think it is great, gives younger kids and those don't have the patience for sims and the stuff which comes with it, to enjoy many vehicles and tracks.

 

[Fidanza99]

as I said before do not but PCars 2 after the first one disappointment..just wait and save your money..
my motto is Forza Assetto Corsa .!!!

 

[Dave R]

To each his own. I have a blast with Forza and preordered the Ultimate Edition. Short of iRacing, it's the only game in the racing genre with a laser scanned Road Atlanta and Sebring (two of my favorite tracks) .

 

[Peter Hooper]

Turn 10 is a massive fraud. Well, not a fraud because they make bones about it -- they don't care about simulation. Forza should be in the same category as Grand Theft Auto, racing-wise.

If people enjoy it (and many do.. as you used to ) then I don't see any problem at all with Turn 10. Everyone knows what they are getting with Forza it's not like it's an new unknown commodity.

I've actually had a lot of fun with F6 over the last month or so (online and off) after owning F3, F4 and F5 and never giving them much more than a cursory go. I'll probably pick up this new one when it comes out, it won't get as much play time as other titles but as a diversion and something a bit different I know i'll have some fun with it.

 

[Doni Bellafronte]

As an old Forza Veteran i will give Forza 7 a go.....it is for me the right chill down arcade after some hard iracing Races ;-)

 

[Mr Whippy]

Sooo, they modelled a handful of new cars.

Then they tweaked all the rendering/shaders to make it look nicer.

Then they took all the old car content and just brushed the batch-updater over it, and are now selling it all in a 'new' game, and loads of it as 'new' DLC.

Mwuhahahaha.

The profit margin at Turn 10 must be mind-boggling now.

Still at least the environments get some decent attention with amazing shaders and rain and day/night and all that jazz.

There are worse games out there for DLC gouging and not investing back into the base game engine features.
And lets not pretend that even the best supposed 'sims' out there are still generic in lots of ways.
Ie, AC and their MP4 12C with springs and shocks suspension? WTF? No hydraulic suspension simulation?

Forza might cut corners, but so does everyone else. Everyone only hypes what they do well. You don't get answers to the stuff they don't want you to know about.

 

[PaulH]

Will Forza 7 allow multiple USB inputs? As in wheel & pedals etc....

 

[Mr Latte]

For the moaners, I don't see any title having more Lamborghini/Ferrari/Porsche/Aston Martin/Mclaren cars. We are far past 200 cars, or @500 from previous Forza titles. Will all these cars be Forza Vista and with full 3D interiors? To be viewed in 4K and potentially with HDR.

Example of some....
"Oh but they counted 4 cars for 1 car and it only has minor changes"

Moving along........

I do wish the car livery tool has been finally upgraded, it's a bit long in the tooth now.
Will GT Sports announced mode have urged them, also with moving to 4K resolution and PC for Turn 10 to improve Forza's livery mode?

This, just as tuning aspects and photo mode is part of what the franchise is about.
Now, how I wish this title was VR not just in the game but in Vista mode too. That would be really cool way to view some of the amazing community paints and if Forza 7 doesn't do this then maybe GT Sport may have something to this for a new VR experience in the franchise and to appreciate the exteriors and interiors of the car.

Perhaps some wishful thinking on my part....
Although Im kinda excited to see how the next 3 upcoming racing titles compare and turn out.
