I hope this DLC is free. :l

+1 Forza 4 needs to step it up and get us the FR-S and BRZ so I can start lusting over wheel options.

Lol Forza

Does this mean that the car is going to be based on the most recent test drives? How realistic will it be compared to the production car? It seems like most of GT5's cars are studied under a microscope to get the best simulation but I wonder just how much time they had with the car...

i think they've probably had a lot of time to get this right. can't wait.

also, FYI, the DLC pack isn't free, BUT the FRS comes in the update for GT5, which is free. DLC pack has 4 different cars in it.

They must have had a decent amount of time - there has been that datalogging thing developed with the GT86 that records your track data in the car. you remove it, plug it into gt5 and it shows you on screen all of the data in a "ghost replay" format

Oh damn I am so down for this to happen! I can't wait!

Sweet, now I have an excuse to dust off GT5 and put down MW3!

I love my G27 and GT5. Looking forward to driving this car now.

Excellent. I'm fascinated to feel how the FT-86 concept compares to the 86 production car. *plugs in GT wheel, puts on helmet, and waits patiently*

Man, this is the one reason to buy a PS3. Maybe NFS or TDU will add it

:drool:

I have about 4 FT 86's so im going to be driving the stock one till the GT86 comes out so i can make an easy comparison.

I've been using the '09 FT-86 concept in a weekly race league over the past 2 months, and I have enjoyed it immensely. Glad they got the production version in.

Also, Important UPDATE regarding the 2.2 Update coming December 20th!

-FREE Toyota 86 included in the Update!
-AFTERMARKET WHEELS ON STANDARD CARS!

among other tidbits...

Excited about this. They also need to find a way to let you put CF hoods on standard cars.

So we are getting the 86 in the 2.02 update? Where the the FRS come in the picture?

Hope we get both the 86 and FRS in the DLC. And free too! Woohoo!

i already explained this, but the DLC is 4 cars (NOT the 86). the update will include the 86 for free. :D

Sold me with the word free. :P

well I went out and bought a PS3 the other day and GT5 :D

It's pretty cool! I already have a 360 with Forza 4, but I've heard through the grapevine that Forza 4 may not get the 86/FR-S due to a license agreement with GT5 and Toyota. (Similar situation as Electronic Arts and Porsche).

Looks like those Japanese companies may stick together and not offer the 86 in Forza. "Buy this game because you like the car - play the car in the game - buy the real car because you liked the car in the game" Makes sense.

This is just a hunch. But I wouldn't doubt it if we see the BRZ only in Forza and the 86/FR-S only in GT5.

Scion and GT5 are hooked to the belly button. Remember the frs and Toyota 86 will allow driving data to be imported into GT5.

No way they are going to let f4 get toyota's hot new sports car!

Right! I actually meant update and not DLC. For some reason I typed DLC... :iono:

Thanks for the clarification :happy0180:

XC:
the front of your red Tacoma looks just like the rear end or the FR-S amazing!
Headlights look like the tails, grill has same shape of the trunk, wow!

i hope they hav a good selection of wheels that can be fitted to the 86

Good enough for me.

Already Available in the US With body kits!
 

Check out the pics... Already modded

Sweet! I can't wait!

I've been driving this car bone stock in the game and it is glorious.

I know this is just a simulator, but if the real thing is anything like this...:drool:

Excuse me while I go jizz all over my PS3 controller again :D

So it is over as a Toyota and not as Scion?

Mine is Dl'ing right now, cant wait to try it out.

I'm going to buy 3. Because I can. Like a bawss.

mmmm the 86 drives very well in GT5. Very predictable and balanced.

Just finished modding 7th one for me... ;)

Aww man, I want it on Forza 4. I'll buy Forza 4 when the BRZ gets in the game then. At least the FR-S..... Please :D
