Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[RYAN]

I saw this is doing the rounds the last few days. I don't know how trustworthy this guy is. This is the only individual I personally have seen with this so I guess this seems more of a fake at the moment.

So he was saying the truth all along...

This is going to be so fun!!
There are 11 10 of them, so I wonder if all cars are going to available in the autoshow, festival playlist rewards or even some sort of a horizon story.
For reference:

The championship cars are a one design fleet, a fully electric SUV, named ODYSSEY 21. In order to withstand the harsh conditions it will face, the car’s peak 400kw (550bhp) output is capable of firing the 1780-kilogram, 2.3-metre wide e-SUV from 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, at gradients of up to 130 per cent.

These should be great fun on the PR stunts

 

[Vince_GT]

Well, i hope they not put all the 11 teams as separate cars.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Would be interesting to see if they include the Extreme E Hummer as it has a slightly different body from all the other cars

AFAIK there's only 10 teams according to the official site

Teams - Extreme E - The Electric Odyssey

Extreme E is a radical new concept of electric racing, in the most remote corners of the planet

Seems like its just a livery on top of the standard ODYSSEY 21
If this is indeed the case it might be safe to assume that it is only one of these is added under Spark Odyssey 21, with liveries as paint options. It is mentioned in the game credits as Extreme E

Speaking of which Rivian could arrive in the same update:

 

[ykiki]

I'm cynical, so naturally my mind went to "now that the Car Pass has come to an end, will this be a new paid Extreme E Pack?"

 

[nukleabomb]

my prediction for series 10 cars are Spark Odyssey 21 (confirmed)

Rivian R1T (present in the game credits)

Audi E-Tron RS GT (confirmed for FM)

and the Volkswagen ID.R (returning car from FH4)

There's a chance the Italdesign Da Vinci (mistakenly mentioned initially as part of the HW expansion, Was leaked earlier) shows up here too.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

So there will be only 'one' Extreme E vehicle (Odyssey 21) + several paintjobs as official paint options instead of 10 individual Extreme E Vehicles?

Isn't that how it is in real life? One car, ten liveries?

Like stated above, They don't have to look all the same. Only the Chip Ganassi Hummer is different at the moment though with a slightly different front end to all the others. They also have different wheel suppliers.

 

[WanganDream]

Whatever the real thing is, perhaps Extreme E machines in FH5 will be added in "one car, 10 OEM colors".

As a Hummer fanboy, I am disappointed, but I understand why they are doing this.
Originally, the addition of race cars in this simpler form was something that users of the Motorsport series have been asking for for years.
And since FH4, PGG has tried to respond to the community's requests in various ways.
It makes sense that they have finally done it with this car.

 

[-Fred-]

This gets an Extreme Eh from me.

 

[Edax 76]

I saw that Rivian the other week on Top Gear here in the UK, Freddie Flintoff was driving it. It looked like it drove quite well and was very powerful......but by God the front end looks like it was designed by Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder.

 

[pez2k]

If Extreme E is a paid DLC, it'll be ten cars with one livery each to bulk it out, and to stick with the traditional style for these things. If it's a seasonal reward, then having ten cars would take months to dole out so that's a bit much, but at the same time if it's one car then one team's livery takes prominence as the default, and players can't have more than one to 'collect' all of the liveries.

I tend to think it'll be a pack like Formula Drift was, with one car per livery, but I could be wrong.

 

[strela]

I also think it's going to be a 10 car pack DLC simply because they are all race cars. But I have a feeling it's going to be free. It's weird to me they would reveal another paid DLC right on a HW expansion launch day. I could be wrong too. Also who would buy Extreme E 10 car pack? ...ok, for 5€ I probably would.

I'd buy it if it was cheap. I doubt there will be much customisation we'll be able to do to these vehicle because of the licensing deal. So yeah, best be cheap or free.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

I don't know much but I think the stats for the Extreme E vehicles should be unified right? Having 10 individual vehicles looks a little redundant to be

ROAD REVEAL!!! The map that was leaked before (without the Hot Wheels tracks) is indeed legitimate.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Does appear to be a lot bigger then FH3's Hot Wheels map.

Certainly looks a lot denser. Was not sure what to expect with 200+ km of roads claim, but now it's easier to imagine.

 

[PJTierney]

Finally found a use for the Barn Find Mustang (A-Class Cross-Country) so it gets a paint:

 

[MagpieRacer]

Looking forward to the addition of Extreme E, hopefully it gets a bit more fleshed out than just the car and liveries. The map is well suited to give us some proper Extreme E races so hopefully we'll get a series or Horizon story or something to go with it.

Hot wheels map looks awesome.

Wow! That is incredible amount of road on that map, and THAT is in the sky above Mexico in game. Holy crap! Getting the Premium Edition really was worth it after all!

I keep meaning to turn mine into Eleanor from Gone In 60 Seconds but I never get around to it.

Here’s the image freed of Instagram.

I keep meaning to turn mine into Eleanor from Gone In 60 Seconds but I never get around to it.

It’s a colour scheme that looks just right.

For this I only used the colour white and layer masks, the factory base paint looked so good I didn’t bother with a custom colour.
