Seems like they are really pushing hard for a late 2012 release. They are only a small studio, so they'll need to get some money in asap.
There is planned DLC, some will be free, some could be charged for, but it'll depend how well it sells.
One huge shock to me, yet it is a positive, is that it was built from the ground up for DX11, and only supports DX10.1 as the oldest standard.
When you see the visuals of the newest driving titles, they really do take stuff like GT5 head-on. There is no difference in quality, in fact you could almost say that what we are going to see launch in the next 6 months will beat whatever the new wave of next-gen consoles will offer in 2013!
