This is week five of the Forza Motorsport 7 Garage and we’re bringing a huge list of cars to the game – cars that represent a worldwide sample of automotive excellence, with a particular focus on the best cars coming out of Europe. When curating this list of cars to reveal, we pondered the following question: what defines the “soul” of a European car? Some might point to quality, exemplified in cars like the Audi RS 4. Others will point to timeless design – think of the BMW 2002 or the Renault Alpine A110 as prime examples. What about incredible performance? With cars like the 2013 Caterham Superlight R500 and the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series, drivers will never lack power and agility. Is it luxury you want? Look no further than the likes of Bentley and Rolls Royce.

Many of the cars featured this week have been bred from the most competitive and cosmopolitan race series in the world. The sumptuous lines of the Italian cars may catch your eye, or perhaps the unending search for perfection that defines German engineering. The automotive soul of Europe and all its facets can be found right here this week, all soon to be driven in Forza Motorsport 7.

Vauxhall are british so would be European

[BabySeal363]

@JuFlx155

Holden & Vaxhall in european sport car ?

I’m more puzzled by Hyundai.

Looks like we really aren’t getting any Tesla.

The News cover says from Europe and around the world.
“cars that represent a worldwide sample of automotive excellence, with a particular focus on the best cars coming out of Europe (and beyond, in a few cases!)”

[PTG_SDLROB]

AKA, Volkswagen are back edition…

Surprised that there’s no beetle or camper… or anything more recent from them than 2014…

The first was mentioned in the cars pre 70s

[Lancia_Casate]

Well the 2010 Abarth 500 didn’t make the cut, are we going to have the new version?

[TDM_SilverArrow]

@Lancia_Casate

Well the 2010 Abarth 500 didn’t make the cut, are we going to have the new version?

The 2016 695 Biposto is in, which is basically a souped-up 500.

Yes, but it would be great to have the new 595 competizione to compare them, anyway a good list but not big news, lets see whats next

[xJonxMonx56]

Thought I’d do a bit of quotework, highlighting cars that are either new to XB1 and/or new to FM. I also left the 2012 XKR-S, last seen in FH2.

Yep. Kinda given up hope that we’re going to see anything new until DLC. Bit of a crock, if you ask me. T10 does know that the MY2017 is essentially over, right? They are aware that MY2018 is here, and with it a righteous set of very good new cars? Have you SEEN the '18 ZL1 1LE in the latest R&T?!?!? It’s real, and it’s specTACULAR.

Having said that, there are some great cars here that I do like driving…in FM6. Which I’m going to do right now and for the forseeable future unless T10 gives me something worth my while. Bring on Gamescom.

[MrVance210]

and again, so many great road cars which are (sorry) useless in the motorsport series. why are for example most audis only liscensed for motorsport?

[TransAmConnor]

Nice to see a good roster of Holden’s, as well as the retro Beemers and Audi’s, especially the 850! That one’s long been a dream car of mine, hoping this also has the Alpina kit that’s usually present in the series.

No new announcements again, are we going to be able to count the number of new to Forza cars on our fingers for this iteration?

No Metro 6R4 though, I’ll be disappointed if this one’s left out.

@MrVance210

So because you don’t use them, they’re useless? It’s not like nobody’s ever raced any of these cars! I can almost guarantee that at some point in time, someone’s used these cars on the track.

[PJTierney]

@TransAmConnor

No Type 2 Camper though? Seems a little odd, hopefully that one’s in a future announcement.

Or a previous one.

[TransAmConnor]

@BabySeal363

@TransAmConnor

No Type 2 Camper though?

The VW Hippie Bus? It was already announced as 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe

Ah, I must’ve missed that one somehow. Cheers!

[xZeroxChillx]

No Vauxhall Manaro? nor the 2006 GTO…sad…loved those cars in FM3
And No Genesis???

[nb3254]

Peugeot, Seat, Citroen 's lost cars were expected to appear from FM4.
But the reality is zero. …Good news.
Oh, Turn10. Do you hate Peugeot and Citroen?

[lanciastratos73]

Again, a little disappointing… Back when they did the weekly reveals for FM6, they almost always showcased new to the series cars. Correct me if i’m wrong, but nothing about that Caterham is new. I’m starting to think that the 700 cars are either carryovers or rehashes. Kind of a let down, there’s been only 3 new to the series cars released, not sure if I want to buy FM7 if it’s just recycled content. Just my two cents.
