Top Gear cheats on GT5, teams with Forza on Stig's Garage collection

It seems everyone is losing their patience waiting for Gran Turismo 5 to arrive in November. Apparently, that includes Top Gear, which is now lending its name to special features in the upcoming Forza Motorsports 3 Ultimate Collection edition that's due in stores this month.

The new content includes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Koenigsegg CCX and Lexus LF-A, which make up a pack called Stig's Garage. (What, no Toyota Aygo?) There's also a free 90-minute video compilation produced exclusively for Forza and an Xbox LIVE premium dashboard theme. The makers of Forza Motorsport also say that future collaborations with Top Gear are also planned.

In addition to the Top Gear content, the Ultimate Collection includes every previously released Forza 3 add-on pack, plus seven new cars:

• Lancia 037 Stradale
• Jaguar D-Type
• Plymouth Cuda
• Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro
• Audi TT RS Coupe
• Audi R15 TDI
• Porsche 550A Spyder

It's almost enough to make a guy want to ditch his PS3. Hurry, Gran Turismo...
