Turn 10 has announced that an official Porsche expansion pack for Xbox 360 exclusive Forza 4 will be released in May. The expansion pack will include 30 different Porsches, including 7 that have never before been seen in the series.

The expansion will also add 20 new events for the World Tour Mode, which will supposedly add 5 hours of gameplay, as well as 10 new Achievements worth 250 points.

Turn 10 has not confirmed the exact lineup of Porsches, but screenshots released show the 2010 Porsche Sport Classic, the 2010 Porsche Boxter S, and the 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic.

Before the game came out it was announced that it would not feature any Porsches due to licensing difficulties. Apparently EA owned the rights to use Porsche cars in video games, which is kind of ridiculous.

“We announced before Forza 4 shipped that Porsches weren’t going to be in,” said director Dan Greenawalt in an interview with VideoGamer.com. “But that doesn’t mean we stopped trying, it was basically the time at which we knew that even if we got the agreement signed that day we wouldn’t have enough time to make the content to get it into the game – so that was when we made that press release. But we never walked away from the table, EA never walked away from the table, Porsche never walked away from the table. We’d keep talking, trying to find terms, trying to come to a common agreement – everybody wanted to bring Porsche to the fans.”

A price has not been confirmed for the expansion pack.
