I think that makes sense. Someone must have realized they had a cool Super Saloon update all ready to go and decided the Focus, or whatever they went with before that, would have broken the flow too much, hence they did a Taycan Cross Turbo and went with the CTS-V Wagon so as to make modeling at least a little bit easier.The article also mentioned initially (don't know if it was changed since) that the CTS-V was perfect for the city with a 2-litre turbocharged engine. I suspect they swapped a car last minute like they did with the Hot Wheels expansion, and not every reference in the article was caught.
As for cars with four doors, a 2.0 turbo, and that have appeared in Horizon previously, maybe the 2013 Focus ST was the one? Who knows.
The MC20/Pininfarina Battista swap I believe.I think that makes sense.

You might have to remind me, though--did they actually swap a car out of the Hot Wheels expansion? What was it?

It was actually the Italdesign DaVinci that was replaced by the Schuppan 962 for the HW expansion.The MC20/Pininfarina Battista swap I believe.
As for Midnight Muscle. I'm choosing to take this to mean a Modern Muscle update. While we absolutely do have every single Corvette worth mentioning at this point (save for maybe the C4 Grand Sport and the C8 ZR1, the latter of which I don't expect we'll see quite yet), the post-facelift sixth-gen Camaro would fit right in, for example. We could also see the Challenger Hellcat Widebody, with maybe a Venom 1200 or Mustang GTD for good measure---or, hell, even the Mustang Mach-E Rallye as a way of working an off-road EV reward into things, who can say?For "Midnight Muscle", I hope that we get more focus on 80s-2000s muscle cars, including some returning 360-era cars.
Stuff like the 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R, 1992 Ford Thunderbird SC, 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35th Anniversary or maybe even the 2005 Ford Mustang GT would be great picks for the Midnight Muscle theme should it follow a retro muscle car theme.
Afaik Hennessey never stated the Venom 1200 will go 300 mph and it most likely never will, 1200hp is just about enough for most of hypercars to do 250 mph and Mustang will need even more than that to do the same speed. Actually, no production-based car ever managed to hit 300 mph aside from Bugatti Chiron SS 300+ and a heavily modified Ford GT with like 3000hp.2022 Hennessey Venom 1200 (Probably a better fit in Track Toys, but we've absolutely been overdue for this thing ever since Hennessey accidentally leaked it. Yeah it's another Mustang but this one can allegedly push 300 MPH, so who cares, raw top speed memes.)
True. It's just, American muscle is a dying breed and you kinda have to dig deep to find relevant modern muscle cars that are in a scannable state at this point. If I weren't holding myself to Modern Muscle I would've had an easier time coming up with stuff.Afaik Hennessey never stated the Venom 1200 will go 300 mph and it most likely never will, 1200hp is just about enough for most of hypercars to do 250 mph and Mustang will need even more than that to do the same speed.

FH5 was utterly unplayable due to this horrendous bug, obviously.
...Actually, now that I think about it. Could this have been the FL5? I know it would've been New-to-Forza, but I can't imagine Ford, of all manufacturers, all of a sudden saying no to the inclusion of one of their cars, especially not to Playground Games or Turn 10. Honda, meanwhile, just had that one Type R Seasonal Championship and that was it.As for cars with four doors, a 2.0 turbo, and that have appeared in Horizon previously, maybe the 2013 Focus ST was the one? Who knows.
Quite possibly. The FL5 is a 2.0L Turbo....Actually, now that I think about it. Could this have been the FL5?

Worked fine here. What are you trying to do?The treasure hunt ( iso200 ) has a bug, it's not complete.
Anyone else?
Have you used the quick resume Xbox feature? As it won't register if you have used it, you need to re-start the game.The treasure hunt ( iso200 ) has a bug, it's not complete.

There's three components:
- Photograph a Porsche
- At Horizon Oval
- During a Race
Edit: Treasure Hunt worked fine too:
- Reach 200mph at any Speed Trap
- Chest is by the mural in Mulege

@Famine, its the treasure hunt and not the photo challenge.
I read your message, then went and did them because I've done no Playlist events at all this week, and it was fine. I used the Federal Highway trap at the top of the autopista.several players are having the same problem
I went for 3 stars at the autopista speedtrap, worked instantly.I read your message, then went and did them because I've done no Playlist events at all this week, and it was fine. I used the Federal Highway trap at the top of the autopista.

Treasure Hunt BUGGED 'ISO 200' FH5 Series 40 Spring
I loaded into the game and left my garage. I was already driving an s2 998 1999 Lamborghini Diablo GTR so I went ahead and stayed in that car, fast traveled to the highway, and drove through the Autopista Speed Trap going ~275 MPH. The treasure hunt did not get marked as complete. I restarted...forums.forza.net
I'm shocked it didn't even make my top two. I enjoyed it a lot more than the #2 pick though which isn't there by choice.FH5 is my most played game again this year. Only achievement I'm missing is the one for pinging 20 players in Hide and Seek. I just can't pull that one off no matter how hard I try.
