If you're eager to start driving on the roads of Forza Horizon's virtual Colorado you don't have much longer to wait, as Microsoft announced today that a demo of the game will be released next week, on October the 9th.

The demo will include several cars and events, allowing players to try different types of roads, and it will also let us drive freely across sections of the open world map.

In addition to that, those that will download the demo and then purchase the game will receive a specially designed custom 2013 SRT Viper GTS.

During the first week of availability the demo will be downloadable only by Xbox Live Gold members.
