After reading this article, it turns out that the traffic cars that hider will be using are 4 cars that's already available in game.
Forza Presents a New Game Mode for Forza Horizon 5 and Reveals New Partnership at Gamescom!
New collabs join Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon. FH5 gets a new multiplayer game mode!forza.net
Just think of it like the Barbie one. Barbie cars were given away free to promote the movie, whereas this new Luca car is being given away free to promote his new shoe brand.
True; I get the sense they'll remind us of the partnership again at the stream for Hidden Horizons, along with a playthrough of the mode to remind us of that too.
One thing that's interesting to note is that the Hiders' car selection is essentially all of the big-ass off-roaders you see in traffic, there's no asphalt cars in there to speak of (i.e. no Galant and no Vocho), and all of them are from the Autoshow. That's going to really harm the mode's longevity if those cars are all you get for the entire duration of the game's remaining lifespan, the AWD Seeker cars are going to be the meta for sure.
Not just any Venom F5--a Venom F5 Revolution, the roadster variant. If T10 got into Jordan's car collection because of this collab (which, highly unlikely I know but the last time we had a break between car packs, the first one back turned out to be the result of a collab), that would be something they'd have to at least get PG to cram into the Playlist. There's also a 1989 911 in there, the SlantNose with pop-up headlights (and a Cadillac XLR-V) but, eh.
Yeah--hence, me not knowing where to look for my predictions. Like, yeah I feel like I have an idea for how PG decided what cars went into the High Performance Dailies restriction--car must have an engine no larger than a V8 that puts out about 200 HP or more, be either a hatchback, a four-door or have large enough trunk space to carry groceries (or a combination of all three), have an FF or AWD drivetrain (with exceptions made for FR if the car has enough driving assists to count), and at least lean towards asphalt racing, no off-roaders allowed--but when it comes to sleepers, I've got no clue how to begin.
Oh heck no, I've got enough troubles with traffic coming out of nowhere as it is! Increasing the amount of traffic at any one time would cause me great suffering indeed!
According to this fm.net article, it doesn't look like any car will be locked behind it. Unless PG pulls a fast one, think it'll just be achievements/accolades and badges.
Accolades are probably exactly where they can pull a fast one, but I bet if they do give them car rewards they'll either be old Hard-to-Finds or more expensive Autoshow cars, like the ones that came with either the January or December updates. Nothing exclusive. That way they can remove some cars from that pool and encourage people to play it!
