Supercar taxi service arrives in the UK for the first time  

Petrolheads, rejoice. Leading digital retailer Argos is today offering customers the chance to get a free ride home in a supercar when they pre-order a copy of the highly-anticipated Xbox One release, Forza Horizon 4, which has launched today.

 A limited number of customers that have pre-ordered with Argos will be chauffeured around in a supercar featured in the game. Taking inspiration from the game, options for customers to choose include models from the best of British automobile brands, McLaren and Aston Martin. For those that prefer a flashier way to get around town, a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 488 and Porsche 911 GT3 RS are also available to book.

·        McLaren 720s

·        Porsche 911 GT3 RS

·        Ferrari 488 

·        Lamborghini Aventador

·        Audi R8 Spyder

To secure a ride, customers simply need to book online via Billetto. Here customers can select their desired car and time. Fans will be asked for a booking confirmation and proof of pre-order on the day. Pick-ups will take place at the Argos store inside Sainsbury’s in Nine Elms, Battersea, London between 9am and 7pm.

James Cooke, Video Games Buying Manager at Argos, said: “We wanted to celebrate the launch of the Xbox One exclusive Forza Horizon 4 in a way our customers would appreciate and remember. Forza has been one of our most popular gaming franchises since its launch and bringing the game to life by offering the ultimate super-car taxi service was the perfect way to reward our loyal customers. We anticipate Forza Horizon 4 to be a highly popular launch this year for both casual and hardcore gamers.”
