With increasing environmental regulations, clogged motorways, safety restrictions and traffic cameras, the world of car enthusiasts is shrinking, its celebration more rare. “Forza Motorsport 4,” available exclusively on Xbox 360 on Oct. 11 in North America, provides a safe haven for car lovers and adrenaline seekers to challenge modern conventions and keep the fire of our car culture burning.
In the live action short film titled “Endangered Species,” Jeremy Clarkson, host of Top Gear – the popular BBC TV show – provides the narration for a tongue-in-cheek illustration of something many car lovers already know: that the real world is becoming an unfriendly place for those who truly love automobiles.
Taking place in the middle of a claustrophobic metropolis, the short film features edge-of-your-seat driving by world renowned stunt driver Martin Ivanov, whose credits include the “The Bourne Supremacy,” “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” “Quantum of Solace” and more. The film premiers today at TopGear.com: http://www.topgear.com/uk/ and is one any automotive fan will not want to miss.
