http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/en-us/porsche_expansion_announce/This is the kind of news that deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: Porsche is returning to Forza Motorsport! Today we’re unveiling the first look at the Forza Motorsport 4 Porsche Expansion Pack, which will arrive on Xbox LIVE on May 22, featuring content and gameplay experiences solely dedicated to one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands. First up, the cars. The Forza Motorsport 4 Porsche Expansion Pack will feature 30 incredible Porsche models for you to collect, drive, and customize, including two models announced today: the 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic and the 2010 Porsche Boxster S. Seven of the 30 Porsche models that will be featured in the Porsche Expansion Pack are brand new to the Forza franchise—look for more car details to be revealed in the coming weeks. The Porsche Expansion Pack is more than just cars, however. The pack will also feature 20 brand new Porsche-centric events to be added to your Forza 4 career, as well as 10 new Xbox LIVE Achievements (worth a total of 250 Gamerscore points) all centered around Porsche. In addition, players can expect to see Porsche models in the AI field when racing in events, as well as integrated into Forza 4’s level reward structure.
Booyaaah!

You know... I was kinda thinking this would happen. EA was probally pressured by all sides on this to be a team player for once... just a guess.

the License was made official a few weeks ago, they wanted to wait till to announce it, but Xbox Front leaked it. So they went ahead and published the article. had more to do with Porsche this time around than EA. As the License Expired Jan 01. 2012
As for people thanking EA, EA is the reason its a $19.99 expansion and not Part of the Game.
I Say Thank you T10 for not giving up and finding a way, though not the preferred way, but a way never the less to get the cars in the game.

I Say Thank you T10 for not giving up and finding a way, though not the preferred way, but a way never the less to get the cars in the game. Oh yeah I am definitely not thanking EA, but thanking T10 for sticking with it and continuing to try to find terms that EA would agree to, and from Dan's comments it sounds like it wasn't cheap: http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/forza_4/news/forza_4_gets_porsche_expansion_this_may.html Greenawalt also stressed that EA wasn't looking to outright block the vehicles from being used in the Forza series. "EA wanted to bring Porsche into Forza Motorsport, they were not against it, we just had to find the right terms that gave equity to the license."
Some people may complain about the $20 for 30 Porsches especially the ones who misunderstood what the "Season Pass" was (6 DLCs), but I am super happy as I have missed my Porsches and the price is actually about right for the cost of the DLC packs which usually have 10 cars at $7 only this time all the cars will be Porsches and not some crappy station wagon

Should've been in the title from the get-go and it's the primary reason I never bought FM4.

Still no word on new tracks? I guess that just isn't going to happen. Haven't touched this game in a very long time, but adding Porsche makes me feel better about it. Just didn't seem right before. Maybe this will get it going again for me.
