Microsoft's upcoming racing video game "Forza Horizon 2" features impressive-looking cars.
Since it's a game, some people might be wondering how the cars in "Forza" compare to their real-life counterparts, Fox News reported.
One of the cars featured in the upcoming title is the Audi R8 Coupe V10. In the real world, this is a $200,000 high-end racing car composed of carbon fiber parts. One of its notable features is its All Wheel Drive (AWD) which allows the car to main stability on the road at all times.
In the game version, the Audi R8 looks exactly like the real one and even has the AWD features. This enables gamers to go around corners at high speeds without spinning out.
In addition, both cars have rising rear spoilers that emerge once the car hits 67mph.
Another prominent car featured in "Forza Horizon 2" is the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG. This compact roadster is equipped with a double-wishbone suspension system that provides a 50-50 weight distribution.
Like the Audi R8, this feature allows the SLK to handle corners smoothly. In the game, players who pick this car can also easily take on corners at high speeds. However, at top speed, the video game version will spin out due to its compact size.
For the real one, on the other hand, it won't spin on tight corners at top speed but will only cause slight slippage.
Probably the most surprising addition to the game's list of racing cars is the famous electric car, the Tesla Model S.
Although the Model S might seem unimpressive on a race track, due to its electric motor, it doesn't need to rev up to move forward unlike traditional fuel-powered cars. This means the electric car can easily dart off as soon as the race starts.
The Motor S' video game version however, doesn't show this feature. Gamers who go with this car will immediately feel that its slow and heavy.
"Forza Horizon 2" for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 will be released in North America on Sept. 30, 2014. The open-world game will feature more than 200 cars to choose from, according to Ecumenical News.
