Looking at the background of the Forza Let's Go image, it looks like it was taken at the airfield, with a building behind it, the position of the building and the light is exactly the same, so I think it will not be the 2nd dlc, but new props in the eventlab, a special event like we had in series 5 or just a new Horizon History

Here's a clearer image. Could definitely be an event labs prop placed at the airfield.

But if it is pre-fab prop - like 1 whole multi-story car parking lot that can be placed in the map, like the Surfers Paradise Skycrapers, then I think it's a prop used in the Expansion DLC 2 map.

Much like all of the Event Lab props for Hot Wheels were put in the builder - makes sense for the DLC 2 ones to be put there too.

Perhaps this is what PG are teasing here!

Just to clarify, the Focus RX we currently have is the Gymkhana 10, right?

Yep, the upcoming one is the other livery for it that was in FH4 but wasn't carried over (yet).

 

[The_Greaser]

What other cars could they add for S17? I bet the rest will be returning cars from FH4, including the vaunted SW20 MR2 dating all the way back to FM2.

'85 RX7, Ridgeline Baja, RX3, IS F, '74 Corolla, S800, maybe the Mirage that became a traffic car etc if we're taking just FH4.

Secretly hoping the SVX last seen in FM7. Del Sol Safari and FTO are also possibilities due to them being leaked files.

Cool stuff to acknowledge Ken Block even though Hoonigan signed a multi year deal with CSR2 after FH5 came out.

My guess:

• 2024 Nissan Z (New to forza/exclusive/series rewards)
• 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5 (recycle content/exclusive)
• 2023 Lexus LC500 (New to forza/exclusive)
• 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II (recycle content/exclusive)
• 1995 Toyota MR2 GT (recycle content/exclusive)

40pts rewards:

• 2018 Nissan Sentra Nismo (series rewards)
• 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 (hard to find)
• 2005 Honda NSX R GT (exclusive)
• 1990 Mazda Savanna RX-7 (hard to find)
• 2007 Toyota Hilux Arctic Trucks AT38 (exclusive)

I remember the devs mentioning way back in the 10th Anniversary Let's Go stream mentioning something about Series 17 being "so good" (Japanese Automotive). (see 49:35)

Potentially, IDK what this means, if we'd get more New to Forza/360 returnees for this update, or if they are refering to the theme itself.

Here's what I speculate to be added other than the Nissan Z Performance.

• 1998 Mitsubishi FTO Version R (360 returnee)
• 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL SE (recycled car)
• 1987 Mitsubishi Galant (recycled car)
• 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5 (recycled car)

If there would be more New to Forza cars than recycled crap, then, here's what I speculate:

• 2022 Toyota GR86/Subaru BRZ (highly requested)
• 2020 Toyota GR Yaris (highly requested)
• 2016 Lexus LC 500 (leaked)
• 1965 Toyota Sport 800 (leaked)

Let's wait till Torben Tuesday, if they still do it.

Keep your expectations low. This IS Playground Games we're talkin' about and they had proved it (with previous series ago) that they just used RNG on what cars get added due to licensing restrictions.

I highly doubt their choices are random when it comes to what gets added due to licensing restrictions.

Exclusive new image of PG Games employees picking the cars for the next series........

Edit: This is meant as a joke.

There's a few of the KB cars I'd like to see come back

Looks like a load of balls...

I'd love 'The Cooler Fiesta' back...

 

[PJTierney]

I'm sure the Red Bull GRC Fiesta is already in the game, given there's a Monthly Rivals featuring it.

Also, it wasn't a Ken Block car; it was driven by Austin Dyne.

[Famine]

They really went with the now-three-week-old "Fordzathon" clue, eh?

 

[RageRacer]

Fantastic! Toyota MR2 is coming back! (Obviously the 11 across hint is so obvious).

5 - NewExpansion

 

[chapolin]

What if the number 5 be "newexpansion"?

 

[chapolin]

"Testtrack" on 10 maybe?

 

[CarbonDaimon]

10 - TestTrack

We already had the MR2 GT in previous games though, which is confusing if that's what 11 across is since the clue says 'now in GT form.'

I'd love to have it back, but the last part of the clue is throwing me off.

 

[turk1993]

Is it raytracing on Xbox or a improved raytracing update on pc?

The first-generation MR2 didn’t have a GT trim available.

 

[Stang616]

The first-generation MR2 didn’t have a GT trim available.

Yes, I understand that, but the clue says a returning 2nd generation favorite now in GT form, implying it's a returning car in a different trim level.

Granted, it could just be me seeing something that isn't there.

 

[The_Greaser]

Well, that means the abysmally-modeled SW20 gets another return. Was kinda hoping it would be remodeled though considering it existed in this form for over 15 years.
But I am grateful it will return, though. Woulda preferred the MR2 Spyder as well too.
