Discover your racing soul with Week 5 of the Forza Motorsport 7 garage
Turn 10 have opened up the garage yet again, this time taking a look at classic cars that have come from Europe, which in addition to the American cars from last week and the Japanese cars the week before, is making this a well rounded and world encompassing roster.
As with each week, there is at least one spotlight car, sometimes more, but this week its all about the 2013 Caterham Superlight R500, here is a spiel from the developers themselves about this powerful car.
When the cars you built for racing become banned from racing and breed franchise slogans such as “Caterham Seven, the Car That’s Too Fast to Race,” you know you’re doing something right. The Caterham Superlight is the latest masterwork created by one of the patriarchs of racing design, Colin Chapman. The basic design of the Superlight R500 originates from the bones of the Lotus 7 which has existed in a mostly unaltered form for more than 50 years. Sure, there has been evolution in materials, tweaks to dimensions, and the old live-axle rear suspension has long been replaced by a De Dion rear axle. At its heart, however, this is the same car that proved itself unfairly advantageous to race other cars. Caterham purchased the rights to the Lotus 7 in 1973 and has since been “simplifying and adding lightness” as Chapman prophesized so long ago. The Superlight R500 represents a weapons-grade thrill car that can deliver breathtaking performance anywhere it’s required. There are few cars in the world that can match its 0-60 times (at sub-3 seconds) and even fewer that can also equal its lap times that are otherwise only achievable in a purpose-built race car.
And of course, rounding out the week is the complete listing of the cars announced this week, if you missed the past weeks, here is week 4's cars, week 3's, week 2's and the first weeks list.
