Despite Porsche’s mystique in motorsports, its presence in sim racing games is extremely rare due to a licensing agreement with EA. But thanks to a clutch sub-licensing deal, Microsoft and Turn 10 is slated to deliver a major Porsche Expansion DLC to Forza Motorsport 6.
Details regarding the new Forza 6 Porsche DLC pack originated from a listing on Amazon that was promptly taken down. Thankfully, the people of AllGamesBeta managed to screenshot the image and its description just in time.
Without further ado, here’s the description for the Forza Motorsport 6: Porsche Expansion:
- Explore the past, present, and future of Porsche in an all-new guided Porsche Anthology campaign experience, featuring 48 new events across all of the Porsche models featured in the expansion.
- Collect, race, and customize 20 of Porsche's most famous cars, including nine models brand new to Xbox One. From groundbreaking early innovators like the 1957 356A Speedster to bleeding-edge engineering marvels like the 2015 #19 Porsche Team 919 Hybrid, the legacy of Porsche is on full display.
- Compete in new Porsche-themed multiplayer Leagues, Hoppers, and Rivals events.
- Virginia International Raceway makes its Forza Motorsport debut as a new track in Forza Motorsport 6. Tackle this classic American race track across seven distinct ribbons, all featuring night and wet configurations, and all running at glorious 1080p and 60 frames per second.
- Collect Porsche-exclusive Mods and Badges, and earn 250 Gamerscore worth of Xbox Live achievements.
- 20 of Porsche’s most famous cars is most definitely a welcome addition to the Forza 6 car list.
If there are just 9 new models that are new to the Xbox One console, then we know that the 1957 356A Speedster and 2015 #19 Porsche Team 919 Hybrid will be joined by nine cars from Forza Horizon 2. Hopefully, the 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo SUV gets dropped and we get to drive some real icons including the 1970 Porsche 914/6, 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3, 1987 Porsche 959, 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo, 2003 Porsche Carrera GT, 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S, 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, and 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS.
According to the leaked Amazon listing, the upcoming Forza Motorsport 6: Porsche Expansion DLC will arrive March 1, 2016 and will be priced at $19.99, but these specifics for the expansion are no longer listed on the Amazon store page.
Stay tuned as we expect to find the official Forza 6 Porsche Expansion car list in the weeks ahead!
