"Forza Horizon 2" has finally gone gold, now that September only has a few days left before the Sept. 30 release date of the Xbox-exclusive racing game. Going gold is the sign for a game being ready for release as it as already hit mass production for retail launch.

GameSpot has confirmed this after spotting an announcement via a quick Vine video. Over at the link, the "Forza Horizon 2" trademark vehicle is being driven by tanner Foust, a professional racer.

Even before the release of the game, there's already a 13-minute gameplay showcasing Playground Games' and Turn 10 Studios' title, which has been spotted by Behind Games. This features some of the sites that you will get to drive through, as well as some of the cars that you'll be driving.

Speaking of the cars in "Forza Horizon 2," Microsoft has also announced the "Forza Horizon 2 Launch Bonus Car Pack," an expansion that will bring in eight free cars into the title. VG 24/7 lists the full list of cars coming with the pack:

- 2003 Ford Focus RS

- 1997 Land Rover Defender 90

- 1993 Clio Williams

- 2015 Ford Mustang GT

- 1987 Buick Regal GNX

- 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV

- 1968 Abarth 595 essence

- 1956 Ford F-100

What's great about this car pack is that among the list, there are three vehicles that have never been seen before in the "Forza" series. But more importantly, the pack will come free for all who will be playing "Forza Horizon 2."

The Xbox Wire has also announced the car pass and the VIP membership. There are two offerings: the first is the "Forza Horizon 2" VIP membership at $19.99, while those who are already "Forza Motorsport 5" VIP members can get it at $9.99 at a 50% discount.

There will be a lot of exclusive content like the VIP Car Pack with five cars, (2012 Lamborghini Urus, 2014 Tesla Model S, 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, 1949 Mercury Coupe and the 2013 Donkervoort D8 GTO), exclusive multiplayer events and in-game recognition . There will also be in-game gifts coming from the "Forza" community team.

A "Forza Horizon 2" also offers a $24.99 car pass that will bring in a five-car pack per month starting October. This will bring a total of 31 cars coming to "Forza Horizon 2."

Lastly, there's a demo already available a few days before the launch. And those who want to preorder the game can do so at either a local retailer or the Xbox Store.
