Forza 3 Jalopnik DLC goes live

By Robert Purchese Published 9 March, 2010

Add 10 of the world's best cars.

Forza Motorsport 3 has gained a new batch of cars courtesy of the Jalopnik DLC.

A meaty 10 new motors are up for grabs: a Mazda, a Jaguar, a Ford, an Aston Martin, a Porsche, a Bugatti, a BMW, an Audi, another Aston Martin and a Honda.

I thought I'd spare you the extraneous numbers and letters and just link straight to pictures. Better that way.

This Jalopnik bundle costs 400 Microsoft Points (£3.40/€4.65), but you can download a trial car - the Honda - for free.

Head over to the Xbox website to queue the Jalopnik Car Pack for download.

    Couldn't give a shit about Forza or cars but I like the idea of giving away a portion of the DLC for free.

  • Eraser #2 2 years ago

    Mazda Furai eh?
    Shame that if someone asks you what car you drive, you still have to tell 'em you drive a Mazda.

  • metalangel #3 2 years ago

    No, it's NOT better that way. If you can't be bothered to do it properly, don't try. You didn't even provide a link to the Ford, just a link to Fords in general. This pack will have car fans excited as it has the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport!

    Mmm... car porn

    Can't be bothered? It's much more work linking to each individual car! I thought it would be clearer and provide people with a nice picture. What's more, if you follow the link you can find out the exact specification of the car that has been searched for.

    The Ford link was a mistake and is now fixed. Turns out lots of those links are broken. I'll replace. Shorten links at your peril!

    Yeah Bertie, you tell 'em!

  • metalangel #8 2 years ago

    @Bertie: I read a lot of EG at work or on the train using my phone. It's not an iPhone, so too many links and videos doesn't work well for me. I just want a straight, clear article telling me what's in the pack, not a "humourous" splitting of the contents into ten separate links. Is that asking too much?

    "Couldn't give a shit about Forza"

    Naturally, then, this article was written awaiting your reply.

  • CrunchinJelly #10 2 years ago

    Just list the cars.

    What a shitty news story.

    Of course it's not too much. This isn't a humurous splitting up of content but a genuine desire to be more helpful break the content into readable chunks. Readers interested in the exact specs can follow the link to the Xbox page or follow the links, which I had hoped they would (the links that work, sigh).

    I'm not trying to be clever or silly but helpful. I'll take yours as a vote against this kind of thing in the future. That's fine by me - saves me time.

    Incidentally, the links are fixed. And I'm sorry if I appear to be coming down on you particularly hard - it did look sloppy and half-arsed when the links didn't work.

    Sorry, I accidentally edited metalangel's response there rather than posted my own.

    911 Sport Classic... droolfest

    Now my auto driver... RACE AND WIN ME MONEY TO BUY TEH PORKER.

  • Eraser #13 2 years ago

    FWIW I thought the links were helpful. Saved me a lot of typing. Good for a quick peek at the cars.

    @metalangel: then stop browsing webpages that were designed for proper browsers on your phone... Besides, it's not as if the links change the layout of the article in any way, so I think your point is entirely moot here.

  • Quint2020 #14 2 years ago

    I'm waiting for the next pack with the EK9 Civic in it!

  • Pastici #15 2 years ago

    @NewbieZilla

    I still like reading gaming news, I don't own a PS3 but I read the articles, I don't PC Game but I read the articles, I don't own an iPhone, I could go on, is that a problem?

  • TheBiGW #16 2 years ago

    I appreciate the links to the 'IRL' cars but for me I would prefer to see how they look in the actual game.

  • Bealsy #17 2 years ago

    @Bertie - I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, people suffer from perfectionism here.

  • darleysam #18 2 years ago

    Holy... I made some passing comment here about wanting the Furai in future, and BAM, next pack.

    Anyone got any requests?

  • Slikz #19 2 years ago

    I want the BMW 335i...........

  • SniperZoz #20 2 years ago

    Figures they'd give the ugliest car for free. And I mean not out of that bunch ... the ugliest in general!

    Note: let the down-vote begin ... go!

  • darleysam #21 2 years ago

    Let's see if this works..

    A BMW 335i wouldn't go amiss!

  • wizlon #22 2 years ago

    I appreciate the links to the 'IRL' cars but for me I would prefer to see how they look in the actual game.

    Well since the game is a simulation, you would hope the cars are pretty much exactly like the photos. If not then there is something wrong.

  • kenbrilliant #23 2 years ago

    Apart from the extremely sexy Mazda (two words you don't see together very often) this is a whole lot of meh.

  • KillerMonkey #24 2 years ago

    "Apart from the extremely sexy Mazda (two words you don't see together very often) this is a whole lot of meh."
    Not much of a car lover, then?

  • metalangel #25 2 years ago

    @Eraser: Wow, your sympathy for having to use my phone because practically everything is blocked at work is much appreciated. And I'm glad this mental capacity extends to comprehension too so you also can see how an article about downloading specific cars that doesn't actually say what the cars are is sort of self defeating!

    @Bertie: Thanks for that. Sorry for being a grouch, coming home from work to be faced with 'Failed to connect to EA Online' in Bad Company 2 left me angry and desperate for something to occupy me while I hit 'retry'. Perhaps Eraser can explain that this in fact my fault for trying to play a game meant for PCs on a mere console. *cheekeh grin*

  • Eraysor #26 2 years ago

    Not particularly bothered about buying extra cars as Forza has enough already, but I adore the game.

  • dickothe1st #27 2 years ago

    i love the straight up google links, so much more human than those cyborgs at ign :D

  • Rodchenko #28 2 years ago

    To be fair, this article is indeed a bit of a usability mess in expecting the user to engage in a click-and-close-window orgy.

  • secombe #29 2 years ago

    In other news, Turn10 (or more likely - Microsoft) put another nail in the 'Motorsport' bit of Forza 3, by deleting all but one of the RWD Circuit Hoppers...and adding loads more destruction derby style games.

    Cracking physics engine with beautifully weighted handling, great range of cars and tracks, but unless you can gather 7 friends together - almost no way of actually having a good clean race. Such a shame they've gone ultra 'commercial/casual' with it, there is virtually nothing left for fans of actually racing online any more.

    GT5 (or even F1 2010) is going to clean up as far as attracting anyone remotely interested in motorsport at this rate.

  • HiredMan #30 2 years ago

    I'll be grabbing this for the Sport Classic, Super Sport and Furai. Not too excited about the other cars, but those three easily make it worth the readies for me :)

  • aphexstwin #31 2 years ago

    links still broken for me. i would have listed what the cars were over just proclaiming 'a jaguar' etc, because i just didnt want to know what the rest of the list was after the first broken link. so now i dont know what any of them are apart from whats mentioned here. and they should of been on the disks anyway, robbing cunts.

  • berelain #32 2 years ago

    Easiest way to satisfy everyone in the future:

    Post the full names of the cars with links to the images. That way, everybody wins!

  • coomber #33 2 years ago

    "I thought I'd spare you the extraneous numbers and letters and just link straight to pictures. Better that way."

    Seems I'm not the only one who wasn't impressed with this.
