Spot Forza 3 Ferrari in London on Friday News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
To celebrate the launch of Forza 3 this Friday, Microsoft plans to tear around the streets of London in a bright red Ferrari.
Spot it, take a picture and upload it to Facebook or Twitter (tag #forzasupercar) to win some goodies. Prizes range from copies of the game right up to Xbox 360 Elite consoles.
The press release doesn't mention exactly what model the Ferrari is, but it doesn't look like a 458, which is a little disappointing. Incidentally, the red stallion will be branded with Forza III stickers and Microsoft logos, so you shouldn't be able to miss it.
Race over to our Forza Motorsport 3 review for a full, under-the-hood analysis.

Don't quote me on this because I might be completely wrong, but I reckon there's a lot of Forza fans who don't live in London. Just saying...

Got to question absolutely everything remotely promotional in London, I appreciate that they reach the widest audience in the smallest space, but it's incredibly saturated already (not to mention supercars being everywhere in the city)
Bring some of this stuff out to the big towns and all of a sudden it's big news in that area, this would be frontpage news in my county paper if the car was driving around the local towns. |

I can see that car getting scratched one way or another. The bits of central London I went to didn't seem that friendly to drive an expensive car. Hope they have good insurance.
The above was referred to the traffic and street layout rather than people personallyscratching the car. Although, some PS3 owners may scratch anything with an XBox related logo on it. They should have gone for an Aston Martin though to appeal to the Brits.

meanwhile... at a top Microsoft marketing meeting...
"come on boys, how can we advertise the game in the UK whilst doing as little work as possible?" "Why don't we hoon a Fezza 'round London" "excellent idea, lets hit the pub to celebrate" |

They should have done it on Saturday. Might have been able to take a picture of the car going past Capcom's zombies. Would surely have been an instant win.

It's a nice little comparison actually,a company builds a new car and has it on the streets before the game it's linked to even exists. Whilst on the other hand, a hired car is used to promote a game that you can actually buy in the shops. See, at first Sony looked as though they won this "car in London" battle ;) |

I saw an Enzo convertible in Newcastle the other day, driven by two deeply uninteresting-looking besuited gents- it was going about 1mph over a speedbump, with all attendant millimetric clearance. I think they saw me too; they certainly heard me laughing my ass off at them.

Competition in London shock. The only way this'll get to Manchester is if they're going to a United game...

So the majority of the population of this country won't even see this promotion. There's some fucking geniuses working in the marketing department department.
