By Andrew Shin

It's no question that one of the Xbox 360's major exclusives for 2009 will be Forza Motorsport 3. The Forza series has always been a favourite amongst racing game fans and this latest installment looks to continue in this tradition.

Today new details were announced regarding a pre-order car and the Limited Collector's Edition version of the game.

If you pre-order the game, you will receive a custom painted Audi R8 V10. In fact, this is a special custom painted car from Forza community member Justin Van Dusen II. Justin's design was selected as the best car design by community members with approx. 300,000 votes.

For those who decide to dish out a bit more for the Limited Collector's Edition will receive instant VIP Membership status within the Forza community that includes special recognition in the new Storefront feature, the online Auction House, scoreboards, ForzaMotorsport.net and more.
