With their svelte exteriors to benchmark-setting performance, few can argue that this top German car-maker knows precision and knows it well.<\/p>\n<p>The Pack features 30 uncompromised cars, 20 new and exciting in-game career events. Not forgetting a host of online Porsche-specific Rival battles.<\/p>\n<p>The cars include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1955 Porsche 550 Spyder<\/li>\n<li>1970 Porsche 914\/6<\/li>\n<li>1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS<\/li>\n<li>1982 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3<\/li>\n<li>1987 Porsche 959<\/li>\n<li>1987 Porsche #17 Racing Porsche AG 962c<\/li>\n<li>1989 Porsche 944 Turbo<\/li>\n<li>1995 Porsche 911 GT2<\/li>\n<li>1998 Porsche #26 Porsche AG 911 GT1-98<\/li>\n<li>2003 Porsche Carrera GT<\/li>\n<li>2004 Porsche 911 GT3 (996)<\/li>\n<li>2005 ALMS GT #31 Petersen-White Lightning 911 GT3-RSR (996)<\/li>\n<li>2005 Porsche #66 AXA Racing 911 GT3 Cup (996)<\/li>\n<li>2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997)<\/li>\n<li>2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)<\/li>\n<li>2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR<\/li>\n<li>2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (997)<\/li>\n<li>2008 Porsche #2 Gruppe Orange Racing 911 GT3 Cup<\/li>\n<li>2008 Porsche #16 Dyson Racing RS Spyder Evo LMP2<\/li>\n<li>2008 Porsche #7 Penske Racing RS Spyder Evo<\/li>\n<li>2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo<\/li>\n<li>2010 Porsche Boxster S<\/li>\n<li>2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic<\/li>\n<li>2011 Porsche #54 Black Swan Racing 911 GT3 Cup<\/li>\n<li>2011 Porsche #45 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR<\/li>\n<li>2011 Porsche #17 Team Falken 911 GT3-RSR<\/li>\n<li>2011 Porsche 911 #23 Alex Job Racing 911 GT3 Cup<\/li>\n<li>2012 Porsche 911 GT2 RS<\/li>\n<li>2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo<\/li>\n<li>2012 Porsche Cayman R<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVRfLOJlFA4?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Highlights<\/h3>\n<p>The Porsche expansion pack takes you on a journey dating back to the 50\u2019s with the &#8220;Giant Killer&#8221; 550 Spyder all the way through the decades to the track hooligan 2012 GT2 RS.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an extensive line-up of iconic GT and LMS Racers as well, sampling Porsche\u2019s rich racing pedigree.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Nit-picking<\/h3>\n<p>A disappointment, again, was the lack of Autovista models but I think &#8211; optimistically &#8211; it would be short lived and we should see some featured in the near future.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Many will argue that this DLC should have been free as Porsche was originally missing at the launch of the title. But if you\u2019re a true motoring enthusiast this should be a \u201cno-brainer\u201d and you\u2019d happily part with your 1600 MS Points (roughly R220). I highly recommend this car pack as it completes an already fantastic variety of car manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>The Porsche expansion pack is a crucial part of the game. The Porsche specific events are deeply integrated into the game and will remain greyed-out in your Events Grid if you don\u2019t own this pack.<\/p>\n<p>Note: A download size of 328.98Mb was fair considering the extensive contents of the DLC. If you purchased a Forza 4 VIP Membership you will receive a 400 point discount off the price.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
