UBERFORZA

Hi all,

Fancy cruising around town in a custom Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 458 Italia or Nissan GT-R this weekend?

Good news – we’ve teamed up with Xbox Australia to let you live out your childhood dreams this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the launch of Forza Horizon 2!

Simply download the Uber app, enter the promo code “UBERFORZA” and request the ‘Forza’ option, and you’ll find yourself riding shotgun in an exotic motor before you can say ZOMG FREE SUPERCARS!

The best part? UberFORZA will take you where you need to go for FREE!

The Forza supercars will be available in Sydney’s CBD, Eastern Suburbs, and Inner West and take you where you need to go within this area during the following times:

  • Friday 3rd October, 10am – 6pm
  • Saturday 4th October, 9am – 6pm
  • Sunday 5th October, 8am – 4pm

Demand will be high and availability limited. The supercars will take 1 passenger only. If you can’t get a supercar right away please try again later.

New Uber users may incur a $1 AUD verification charge upon signing up to make sure that your account is real. Don’t worry – this never actually withdraws any funds from your account and is reversed as soon as verification has been made.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Download the Uber app on an Apple, Android or Windows device, and create an account.

  2. Enter the promo code “UBERFORZA” when signing up, or in the PROMOTIONS section of the app if you’re already an Uber user.

  3. Select the “FORZA” option.

  4. Check the ETA, hit “REQUEST FORZA” when you’re ready to go, and enjoy the ride!

The supercars will take you where you need to go anywhere in Sydney’s CBD, Eastern Suburbs, and Inner West. Click here if you need more info on how to enter a promo code into the app.

Best of luck everyone!

      Supercars are so over-rated…and that's coming from someone who owed a Ferrari 458 for a fortnight:fun as hell to ride but totally useless when you need to pick up kids from playgroup or dog from vet or grocery shopping or pick up wife from yoga class and you get hit on by every single one of those young, hot and highly flexible women and you're like "No back off! I'm a married man. The mrs is just round the corner! you'll get me in trouble"

        Obviously you never read the fine print in the sales brochure. It clearly states: Vehicle not suitable for use under Spousal, Parental or Zoological conditions. Continued use under these conditions may cause irreparable judicial and/or financial damage!

          @Tal_Shiar: you'll be pleased to know that we've acted on your advice …now that's something that's not over-rated!!! ;-)
          Edit: I'm surprised that no one has ever posted that as a deal: "Get a wife = Lifetime membership to free mind-blowing sex (that's a saving of $500-$5,000 per week!!!)
          Other benefits:
          -they always have your back
          -they keep you grounded
          -they give you that little kick in the butt you need sometime to get things done.
          -they give you mini-mes
          -they put up with your idiosyncrasies and still think you're cute.
          -they are not put off by your morning breath
          -you can stare adoringly at them while they sleep and that doesn't freak them out.
          -they are the only one that you can wake up at 2 a.m and ask "hey, want some ice-cream?" and they are up for it.
          -they don't require ferraris to turn them on , or money or blindingly white teeth.
          -you don't have to impress them.They think you're freaking awesome, even though you're just an average joe.
          -they make your heart flutter wildly when they smile at you.
          and the list goes on and on.
          Everyone should get a wife. Highly recommended :-)

          I've recently started learning french and creole. I wonder if there is a connection between that and all my grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and typos of late.

          @Scrooge McDuck: Mate was moving overseas and his buyer pulled out at the last minute. So he gave me the car and in exchange, I promised that if anything ever happened to me, he could have my wife, my kids, my ewok, my 3-legged cat and my plastic gold-fish.
          10 days later , I came to my senses,sold it for close to half a mil and bought back my soul.

    As usual, its only Sydney’s CBD, Eastern Suburbs, and Inner West.

        Since these are private cars without the proper taxi certifications, you would need a car seat.

        These rides are for one passenger only anyway, so there is no way they would be taking someone in a car seat anyway.

    Saw 3 supercars double-parked along Champ Elysses in Paris. You can drive for €89/20min ($150). Aroubd tught busy streets though. Actually had the money. Pussed-out. Gangster looking setup. Seemed too easy, figured I'd get shafted somehow.
