Ferrari 458 Italia announced for Forza 3, coming as DLC 'this holiday'

It was only a few months ago that Ferrari officially unveiled the successor to the F430 in the much rumored Ferrari 458 Italia. With Forza 3 just over a month away, we can certainly understand how developer Turn 10 couldn't find extra time to fully develop the brand new car for its game. Even though the game went gold recently, the developer got right back to work, announcing recently that the mid-engine V8 monster will arrive as DLC this holiday. There's even a sweet video of the car in action that you can see above (and compare it with the real thing found after the break).

We pressed Microsoft for a price and only heard back, "We're not announcing any other details about the Ferrari vehicle at this time, other than to celebrate its inclusion in the game since it's a sick car." Maybe Microsoft will gift us all free Ferraris for the hoidays!

any idea what the song was from this video ? it was pretty cool

Would also like to know. It sounds familiar.

Wow! A single new model Ferrari coming as a DLC (which may need to pay for)! And it's not even an exclusive! How exciting!

I will be playing this game in roughly a month while people are still bitching about video comparisons.

^^ word...fact of the matter is that forza 3 is maxxing out the xbox 360...another fact (highly opinionated) is that the xbox360, while less powerful than the ps3, is a better console...so while the AA might not be as impressive...i will be tickled pink to race forza 3 over gt5....although i think its important to state that both will be bringing the simulation racing game to a whole new level....

I'd suggest people haven't driven many cars at speed on challenging roads if they think GT is realistic. I haven't played GT5P, but GT4 was way off. RWD cars that don't lift-off oversteer, let-alone power-oversteer with traction and stability turned off?

Lame.
