New Zealanders can now get their hands on Forza Motorsport 3.

The much anticipated racing title hit New Zealand shelves today, giving gamers the chance to get behind the wheel of more than 400 of the world's most amazing cars on 100 exotic road courses from around the globe.

A Microsoft media release said the addition of eight V8 Supercars from the V8 Supercar Championship Series would appeal to New Zealanders and Australians and would bring the Ford vs Holden rivalry direct to your living room. Other vehicles in the game include Ferraris, Porches, and cars not available in any other racing game, such as the new Aston Martin DBS, Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, and the 2009 Acura ARX ALMS race car.

Microsoft said the game had a recommended retail price in New Zealand of $99.95, or $119.95 for the Limited Collector's Edition.
