As the road to its October 3 release marches on, the drip-feed of details surrounding the next installment of Xbox’s flagship racing franchise, Forza Motorsport 7, continues with it. This week, developer Turn 10 has announced 77 examples of Japanese metal players will be able to race and explore.
Headlining the announcement making their Motorsport debut are the new, hybrid 2017 Acura NSX and the 2016 Honda Civic Type R (not the new-new one, but the FK2 from back when Type Rs were still forbidden in America). Joining them are a healthily sugoi roster of Miatas, WRXs, Skylines, and Evos, bringing your Best Motoring—or Gran Turismo, more appropriately—dreams to your PlayStation-less living room.
From the deceptively humble Datsun 510 to the aforementioned server-farm-on-wheels 2017 NSX, to the racing video game ubiquitous veteran Evo X (seriously, show me a racing game made after 2008 that didn’t have this), Forza Motorsport 7 has something for every kind of enthusiast from the east.
