Xbox Live Auction House, More Euro Cars, Web Site Redesign for Forza Motorsport 2

Microsoft has announced some new details for the Forza Motorsport world. They have revealed some exciting new features that will be included in “Forza Motorsport 2” when the game hits stores in May.

The first of which is a feature the team at Turn 10 has dubbed the Xbox Live Auction House. Although “Forza Motorsport 2” can be a highly competitive affair over Xbox Live, the developers at Turn 10 wanted to further stoke the passion of the racing community by giving them an in-game marketplace to show off their custom creations. Just head over to Forza Motorsport 2’s Online Auction House, where – on a global scale – players will be able to buy and sell (using in-game credits) and trade one-of-a-kind vehicles with other Forza fanatics. The Online Auction House will encourage fans to share their unique whips, or complete their car collection from our roster of over 300 must-have rides. With near limitless customization options, “Forza Motorsport 2” is sure to inspire the creativity of car tuners and painters alike. For more details on the Xbox Live Auction House, be sure to check out this week’s Pitpass Report on Forzamotorsport.net.

Also, as promised, they are happy to bring you wave two of the highly anticipated and extensive “Forza Motorsport 2” cars list. Last week, we revealed models from top manufacturers Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati. This week, we bring you models from the rest of our European carmakers: Aston Martin, Jaguar, Bentley, Lotus, TVR, Saab, Volvo, McLaren, and more. Again, for the full list, cruise on over to Forzamotorsport.net.

And finally, we wanted to alert you that upon visiting forzamotorsport.net that you’ll notice a new look and feel to the site. The purpose of the redesign is to give consumers a more useful, easier to navigate extension of “Forza Motorsport 2’s” gameplay experience from on the web, as well as provide a destination for fans to socialize and talk shop about racing, tuning, design, or just games and car culture in general. For you, Forzamotorsport.net will also be the home of all the latest news, screenshots, and videos for the game. There’s a lot more to talk about with regards to “Forza Motorsport 2” and we’ll be covering new ground every Friday for our passionate community, as well as welcoming newcomers to the world of Forza.
