“Forza Motorsport 3” fans will be treated to a taste of luxury this season, as Turn 10 unleashes new sports cars and introduces Sports-Utility Vehicles that are sure to change up the game. The formidable line-up will hit the circuits when “Forza Motorsport 3” launches this October on Xbox 360.

Typically, SUVs conjure visions of gas guzzling, road hogging hunks of metal that seem to run counter to everything that one pictures when they think of cars in a racing game.  However, Turn 10 sees SUVs for their full unbridled potential. From the Range Rover Supercharged to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, fans will be able to race, ride, tune and create unique designs on the wide open canvasses that the SUV’s provide. Starting with a collection of Sport Luxury SUVs factory engineered as pure performance machines we invite you to take these stealthy, upgradeable and tunable vehicles and transform them into legit racers.  Best of all, with the upgraded Livery editor and full color spectrum to choose from, players will have the opportunity to expand their new designs and reflect their inner “Forza” artist on some of the world’s most impressive sport utility vehicles.

New luxury sports cars also join the race. From the BMW M5 to the hand-built, custom tuned Mercedes SL 65 Black Series, “Forza Motorsport 3” will ignite the passion in drivers who crave speed and power combined with luxury style. Included among the entire roster of new SUV’s and sports cars are the following new additions to “Forza Motorsport 3”:
