By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 04 June 2007 07:40 This year’s Festival of Speed is shaping up to be one of the biggest and hottest gathering of fast cars and motorbikes the world has ever seen.

Rolls Royce Wraith for Forza 5 – the first video game Rolls Royce

The Rolls Royce Wraith joins Forza If you play Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One, you have the choice of seemingly endless cars and tracks in wonderful detail, with the focus on performance and thrills.

Developed by Turin 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport 5 gets an all-new graphics engine that brings realism to a new level, and that suits the Rolls Royce Wraith just fine.
