The first in-game image from Microsoft and Playground Games' Forza Horizon has been released, showing a red Dodge Viper in front of a backdrop of mountains.

The location looks a bit like Arizona to our uneducated eyes.

In addition to the first screen, Microsoft has published the official box art, which again features a mountain range.

Forza Horizon is an open-world racer set for release later this year. More details are expected at E3.

We're not loving the pink logo combined with the yellow car, but we're not experts when it comes to complimentary colours. What do you think?

Big fan of Forza and like Clockpunk I hope the game does follow the Test Drive open world model than something like NFS, there are a bunch of games that do point to point and never really sell that much or get great critic acclaim.

TDU had something wonderful when it first came out on the 360, I played quite a lot of the game, it could of been a lot better in some major ways but I don't think anyone could deny the game had something special.

With Turn 10's magic, this game could replicate what made TDU so good, hopefully. Racing games haven't been selling all that well, so I hope it works for them.

Its due this year?!? Blimey...

I truly hope it follow the TDU model, rather than, say, the NFS: Hot Pursuit approach to 'open world'.
