Filed under: Toys/Games Forza Motorsport 3 will soon feature an add-on car pack featuring ten rides handpicked by the scribes at AutoWeek. Apparently, it took two podcasts worth of deliberations to settle on the finalists, but the AutoWeek Show Car Pack bundles the 2009 Audi R8 LMS, Audi RS 6, Lotus 2-Eleven, 2010 Aston Martin One-77, BMW Motorsport M6 Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, Shelby GT500, Pagani Zonda R, Porsche Boxster S, and the almost imaginary Saleen S5S Raptor. The pack comes online January 12, and you can get it for 400 MS points on Xbox Live. We'd like to take this moment to invite Forza to create an Autoblog Car Show Pack. We'll start with the Gumpert Apollo and Caterham CSR, and you readers can let the developers know which cars you'd like to see in comments. Turn10, check's in the mail. Promise.
