Despite an official looking ad appearing in the US edition of the Official Xbox Magazine, there’s been some scepticism surrounding news that a Forza Motorsport 2 demo will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace in the not too distant future.

These doubts can now be cast aside, with Microsoft announcing the demo is indeed on the way soon.

Microsoft Game Studios has spent the last several months telling you all about the incredibly deep and realistic features included in the game and soon you’ll be able to take the game for a test drive on Xbox LIVE Marketplace – the rumours this week of a downloadable demo are true and the details on timing will be confirmed in the coming weeks,” said Microsoft in a statement released today.

Microsoft has also announced a new set of cars which will be featured in the game. This week it’s the turn of the aftermarket production cars such as the Tommy Kaira Skyline from Nissan and the VeilSide Supra Fortune from Toyota.
