Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 in New FM3 Exotic Car Pack

Xbox 360’s Forza Motorsport 3 racing game is now offering fans the thrill of driving one of the world’s most exclusive cars which celebrates the success of the Spyker Squadron in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Made available through an Exotic Car Pack, the limited edition Lemans-themed Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 will be virtually raced by anyone who purchases the package.

According to Spyker Cars, only 24 examples of the LM85 are being produced. The Exotic Car Pack is now available on Xbox LIVE for 400 Microsoft points.

“We’ve created something very special and unique with the LM85,” said Victor Muller, Spyker CEO. “It’s very exciting to share our creation and passion with the Xbox and Forza Motorsport community, and we can’t wait to see how players put it through the paces on the track.”

The LM85 features a race-inspired body and stiff spaceframe chassis, both in lightweight aluminum, and all-round fully independent double wishbone suspension.

The supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 Audi engine that generates 400 hp at 6,800 rpm and 480 Nm torque at 3,500 rpm.  The LM85 accelerates from 0-62 mph/0-100 kph in just 4.5 seconds and goes on to reach a top speed of 185 mph/300 kph.

The car is finished in a distinctive burnt almond orange color, with contrasting Gun Metal ‘S’ logo and charcoal-tinted polycarbonate roof panels.

“Available exclusively on Xbox 360, Forza Motorsport 3 is the only racing game that lets players collect, paint and tune more than 400 of the world’s most exotic and exquisite cars then put them to the test on more than 100 tracks from around the globe,”
a company statement reads.
