Avants Featured on Forza Motorsport
Real life or Forza screenshot? I'm super excited to work with the folks over at Forza Motorsport for an in-depth look at the Avants CTS-V wagon. When you think about it, Avants and Forza are very similar in a lot of ways. Both programs give people the opportunity to drive a wide range of amazing cars, except one is virtual and the other is in real-life. Another key difference is that Forza is all about speed, whereas Avants is about really experiencing all of the nuances of a car (sound, smell, steering wheel texture, handling, etc).
