Five retailers will each offer an unlock code for a different car. Here's what you'll get from each store:

Additionally, the first production run of Forza Motorsport 4 game discs will come with a “Ship Bonus” car pack. This exclusive pack will give you the following vehicles:
- Ford Mustang GT Coupe 1965: Take to the road in this classic American stallion, one of Ford’s most successful launch cars behind the Model A.

Forza Motorsport 3 owners will get additional freebies as well. A Profile Import feature in FM4 will give you bonus cars based on your FM3 player level and the cars in your garage. You'll also get credits and some other unspecified gifts.
Turn 10 rounded out the day's news by confirming one additional car for the game. It seems they've tapped the Ferrari 458 Italia for the cover. The Ferrari 458 Italia is said to be "an 8-cylinder two-seater berlinetta with a mid-rear mounted engine." Hopefully that makes sense to some of you.
