Turn 10 Studios has pulled the curtain back on the cover for this fall's Forza Motorsport 4.

Shining its sleek headlights from the cover of the game is the Ferrari 458 Italia. Creative Director Dan Greenawalt from Turn 10 says the 458 "has the ideal blend of style, creative flair, cutting-edge technology and power that makes it just as gorgeous to look at as it is thrilling to take to the track."

In addition to the powerhouse on the cover, Turn 10 has revealed the existence of "Profile Import." This feature takes your Forza 3 player level and based on that number, gifts cars to your Forza 4 garage, in addition to other "bonus gifts and credits." Also, the liveries and layers from the Forza 3 editor can also be brought into the new game.

Best Buy - BMW 1 Series M Coupe
GameStop - Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde

my only issue with this new forza 3 with all the DLC is that it doesnt include the VIP cars... but on the plus side... i can cruise around in my green '11 GTR now :D I IS HAP!!
 
Took me quite a while to click that they weren't talking about PGR. But hey, another Forza would be fun.
I can certainly understand the use of the 458 on the cover. That "car" is a technological masterpiece (when its not on fire). I'm sure they want to convey that Forza4 will also be amazing (though not quite the fireball). Poor GT5, hardly even out and their main competitor is receiving an upgrade :)

I can't to see if they will use the kinect & how they incorparate it.

I still prefer using the normal control to drive but..
Imagine using your hands to do upgrades & decals.

Peace "B"
 
Ha, I wonder if the 458 will also randomly catch fire in the game? :p

That said those ingame screenies look incredible!
 
Some more Info

The creators of "Forza," Turn 10 Studios, say that they have modeled tire-related properties, such as weight transfer, and have incorporated proprietary performance data from tire manufacturer Pirelli into "Forza 4." The result, the company says, is the most up-to-date simulation of how modern tires grip or slip in a variety of racing conditions.

a Hint for different weather conditions that might be featured

"Forza 4" may end up raising the bar when it comes to re-creating a track. According to Turn 10, developers rented out each track that appears in the game for two to three days, shooting terabytes worth of video and photos, and tracing the inside, middle and outside portions of the road surface with a commercial-grade GPS system. The resulting map detects road crowning, tiny changes in camber, or angle, and other anomalies with subcentimeter accuracy, all of which can be coded into the game for even more realism.
