'Forza 5' will be the first racing game with a Formula E electric racer


Turn 10 has just revealed that it'll bring the hum of electric power to 'Forza 5' with the Spark-Renault SRT-01E racing car. That'd mark the first EV from the fledgeling Formula E racing series in any game -- in fact, the real e-racing series won't launch until September 13th in Beijing. The Spark-Renault SRT-01E was the first car to be homologated by the FIA for Formula E, and features a 200kW (270 bhp) motor and 888KG (2,000 pound) curb weight. In case you were wondering, it also produces about 80 decibels at full power -- that's more than the average car, but far, far less than the 140 pedal-to-the-metal decibels of a Formula 1 vehicle. There's no word on when the new racer will arrive to 'Forza 5,' but it would make sense to launch it next month along with the Formula E series in Beijing.
