This is the road-going version, so it should remain a coupe.

Too hard to say. It could just be a ridiculously cartoon-stylised widebody on a regular Mini.

You could kick a Civic in a regular Mustang to be fair.

Does anybody know if this has got the 2 speed powerglide tranny like the one in forza motorsport 4? or have they done it proper justice and given it the 3 speed?


Still has a 2-speed I'm afraid. And that ridiculous paddle shifting animation.

Hopefully this will be the free one. That, or the Wrangler.

Don't know why they didn't include it in the first place. I thought the reason they added SUVs and other classics was to have new cars ready for Horizon.
Hyundai ix20

Forza Motorsport 4 (2011)
True, true. Probably modelled in the UK with all the other hatchbacks and economy cars (like the cee'd, the Liana, the Spark, etc.) so it most likely is made for GB.

Forza Motorsport 4 (2011)
I think they assume that because it's RHD, it means it's a UK car.

Should be a 1995

They probably just translated it for simplicity.

Could you fit anymore smileys in there, buddy?
MG B GT

Forza Motorsport 4 (2011)
To my knowledge, they jacked up the suspension on the U.S. version so the headlights would have enough clearance off the ground. Can't tell too much. The easiest way to tell it's a U.S. version is that it's LHD.
Ford Focus ST

Anyone notice how one of the single player Autocross events has this car on the event image, even though it was a DLC car?

Were these part of a design comp, like on Forza 4?

I was just thinking, if they'd offer a free car with each DLC like they did before, these FM4 cars would be a perfect fit. But I kinda doubt they'll be that generous. :p


Seems that they are that generous. It's free after all.

It's listed the same way as all the others were.

That spoiler is hideous and they should've done the convertible or roadster.


It is a Forza race wing after all. I could understand in Forza 4, since you could adjust downforce and what-not, but here, the splitters and race wings don't seem all that useful anymore.

The interior screen actually works on it now. Which given PD's input, is a little odd.

Spec C Type RA
RUF Rt 12

Sega Rally Revo (2007)
Old Porsches were quite good at rally, since the rear engine meant they had amazing traction. That said, even though it's very high, I would think a RUF would be far too low to make it over the bumpy surface.
Austin Mini Cooper S

It's actually quite a surprise that the Austin trademark couldn't have been acquired, since Turn 10 (who, of course, is working with Playground Games on this game) was able to get licensing for the MG marque, which, like Austin, is owned by SAIC in China.

The most logical explanation would probably be that either BMW or SAIC didn't want to share licensing on this car, hence it being listed in game as a MINI (BMW trademark) without Austin badges, and having the German flag instead of the British flag associated with the car.


Makes me wonder why they didn't put the 6R4 Metro in there. Then they would have had the complete set of every memorable Group B car (unless they got their hands on a BX 4TC).
Mazda RX-7

Driver: Parallel Lines (2006)
Looks more like a facelifted RX-7 to me.
Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione

Forza Horizon (2012)
I was kind of hoping that wing would be an optional extra for the regular 599XX rather than make a whole new car.

Why do so many cars have awful, new dashboards?

This has a 1.8T badge on the back. Don't know if that makes any difference to the trim.
Ferrari 458 Spider

Ferrari GT 3: World Track (2012)
The same reason PD put each variant of Skyline in GT5; to have a complete set. And it wouldn't take them much effort to draw a faint line to tell its a hardtop either. That way, they can boast about having more cars in the game.

I'm fairly certain many Japanese-esque police designs are available. Unless you want an exact copy, I might try it. Don't expect anything to come of it though.

True. The game's out pretty soon, and I'm fairly certain people who got the game early will find a way of obtaining them.

I'm pretty sure this is a real unicorn a la FM, not a barnfind. Badned said: "Regarding winning Unicorns, you can get the Saleen S5S Raptor gifted to you if you play the game within the first week of release."


That's what I meant the first time. So now I'm confused; do we really find a 3-year old economy car rusting away in a barn or do we receive them as gifts? Let's be honest, the latter is more likely.
Ford Fiesta

Forza Horizon (2012)
Really? Wow, I thought it was just the classic cars and the EB110 which were barn finds. That is a pretty stupid idea to be honest. I could understand if they made the 595 SS and the Austin Mini barn finds, but a Fiesta?

Ford Fiesta

Forza Horizon (2012)
If that's the case, then why are various random cars (such as this Fiesta) being labelled as unicorns and unlockable?
Ford Fiesta

Forza Horizon (2012)
Are unicorns acquired the same way as in the previous Forzas, or is through the levelling up system in online multiplayer? Since there's about 5 unicorns and there is also an achievement for winning 7 cars online, I was just wondering if that's how it's done.

EDIT: This is made for GB, seeing as it's the same as the one from Forza 4. Plus, Fiestas weren't sold until 2010 in the US.

Just another example of how Forza is ripping off cars from the Gran Turismo series


Whatever. GT5 added an Aventador after Forza, does that mean GT is ripping off cars from Forza?

Number of cars isn't that much of a problem as car list quality. In MC:LA we've got even smaller number of cars, but they were simply more interesting. In FH we've got NFS all over again. We've got a lot of supercars, which are generally overused and appealing more to children. FM2 got better list than this. Here we've got two Toyotas(overused Supra RZ and overused Sprinter Trueno), two Subarus, two Mitsubishis (both Lancers). This is the biggest issue that's putting me off. This and the fact that they gonna spawn a lot of add-ons just to justify the fact of giving boring car list in the first place.

You said they expect us to use few favourites of ours. I don't see any favourites of mine there, so I'll skip it for now.


In fairness, that is true. The DLC, provided it's not a re-run of cars which should have been there anyway *cough* Renaults *cough*, should at least be mildly interesting, and provide a good set up for cars to expect in Forza 5. But yes, I agree that they could of used some of the more 'niche' cars (so to speak), such as the Escort RS1800 from Forza 4, and am still questioning as to why they didn't use them. Even TDU2 - for all its flaws - had some interesting cars you don't see in games too often.

Also, my other comment about it being an open world game detracting from the car list is completely redundant - if they're planning on so much DLC, there's obviosuly space to add more cars anyway. Why not add a 3rd disc? Impractical, sure, but we'd be getting alot more variety if that was the case.

Only 137? GTFO with that game. I won't touch that till complete edition. Way to go guys, really.


Thats the price you pay for having a massive open world. Besides, this isn't like Forza 4 where it throws money at you at every chance. This is one of those driving games where they expect to use a select few favourite cars instead of just filling you garage.

One of the leaked car lists had the regular Abarth 500 and then a Showcase event version. Perhaps this is the one you get rewarded with?

That would be a good addition. I doubt it will be there though, and if it is, it'll be DLC.

Not in real, serious competition, no. But in more amateur events, Civics have always been quite good in rally. You can find a few FK Type Rs converted into rally cars on YouTube.

It is lower because it is turning while going at probably 100+ mph, and it looks like it has the intake because it is dark. And even from this picture it doesn't look as aggressive as the FQ-400s bumper. And from the gameplay of the Eurogamer Conference you can see that it has double exhaust, whilst the FQ-400 has a single exhaust in the middle. And the middle scoop on the hood is flat, whilst the FQ-400s is a bit raised from the hood. Sorry if you don't understand something, English is not my first language.


It's ok. In fairness I've only seen a pic of the FQ-400 once and am too lazy to look it up, so the only thing I could remember about it was that intake.

No, this is the stock EVO X, it doesn't have the same front bumper as the FQ-400, you can see that in this video at around 21:21 and at around 21:56 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNOhWzx65jI. You can also see that in this video at around 0:37 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NrPR_FGb9s&feature=relmfu. So this isn't a FQ-400.


The one in this pic (from what I can make out anyway) has the intake on the bumper that the FQ-400 has. It looks significantly lower too. Unless of course, we can put bodykits etc. from high models on cars?
