You know I'm cruel (admit it, you love it!) and I will only reveal a few cars at a time

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R

Audi RS4 quattro Saloon
Koenigsegg CCR

Audi S6
Lamborghini Countach 25th anniversary

Chrysler Crossfire® SRT-6 coupe
Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

Chrysler Crossfire® SRT-6 Roadster
Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster

Dino 246 GT
Lexus GS 450h

Dodge Challenger RT
Lexus IS 350

Dodge Charger Super Bee
Lexus LS 460 L

Dodge Viper SRT-10 coupe
Lexus LS 600h L

Guys, considering the cost of development free downloads are wishful thinking

The price will be around 9.99 euros - less than 0.22 euros per vehicle.

Pl-Destroy, yes, I work for Atari and this is official news

No typos, no 1st April, this is genuine, official news that came to me about 30 seconds before being posted.

Now go, celebrate, and please answer my little questionnaire (your gaming habits) as I've been pestering on your behalf for months

You might need to imagine that being a rather big pack, they'll probably patch the game and hopefully make it run better

When will this come out anyway?
There's always one

If there were no license costs (remember, if you license something for use on the X360 that doesn't mean you have a license for the PC), PCs all had exactly the same hardware as each other and x360s, and everyone was already subscribing to Live! then maybe it would have already been paid for, but I doubt any of the above are true!

Hy there, I'm from the german Forum
These are great news, but I don't know if I'll believe this
So, when can we PC Users hope to get this? "Soon" is a good word from Atari
And Tenebra, why didn't you listet the RUF? The best things to download?
Realy cruel...

As questioned by someone in an earlier post, will this car pack be download only?

I'm guessing it probably is, but I just want to make sure if there is or isnt going to be a CD that you can buy.

I'm not really a person who likes buying products and downloading them off the internet, such as Steam games. But either way I think I can make an exception if 46+ vehicles are the case. Good news for the loyal PC TDU-ers that we all are though.

Tenny, I'm fed up of your 'soon'

I reckon we should have a forum swear box and everytime Tenny says 'soon' she has to pay money to a charity

Bloody nora!

Bit daft to do it like this, why not release a trickle over months, rather than a 250-ton drop on us

Yay though

EDIT L600h - hybrid, just a good thing to point out. I wonder if it'll ork like it does irl

I do have an idea about the "soon" (more than an idea, to be honest), but since the digital distributor hasn't given us a date yet I'd rather keep it for myself

Learn from past mistakes
What happened was an indication of date was given and it proved to be inaccurate.. so better not to give the idea until it's more certain surely?

Yes, I'm afraid. I know, it's not ideal but it brings the cost down - to you, first of all.
