Well, got to admit, even if there are people online complaining about "wHy NoT aDd VaLlHaLa Or LaTeSt SuPeR/HyPeRcAr" on reddit, or Facebook or wherever, PGG's surely learning from their mistakes in terms of post-launch content drops (well, till both expansions come out).
Normally, I'd be dissatisfied as heck when majority of cars that would be added have been seen in FH5 and below, regularly, the recent additions of cars that were either seen once in a past Horizon game or seen regularly in Motorsport games but not Horizon (if it did, it would prolly be as late as FH3/4 by now) is super appealing, some of which I didn't even expect to be added such as the Pantera in Series 3, and the 2006 Astra VXR/Ginetta G40 Junior in Series 5. Kudos to PGG for that, and let the haters whine about it, or well, let them go to Assetto to fulfill their r/wants
.
Might make another reply dedicated to fun facts about the added cars soon (inspired by "This wouldn't be an AR12 video without any fun facts about this car", but more on a blend of technical and pop culture facts). Actually, here's a small tease. I will do it weekly based on the cars, but on my Forzatography account at kelpo.tography, I do it as frequent as possible, but a max of one post a day, with some copies from blogs, official manufacturer sites, and the Gran Turismo Wiki.
2025 McLaren W1
As I said during my reaction relating to the W1's announcement last week, prior to Forza Horizon 6, the W1 was only "exclusive" to mobile games, Apex Racer, a Pixel Car Racer spiritual succesor, and CSR2. Credit to
@ALLSETFORMOVE for the image. Now, FH6 is the first-ever console game to feature the W1.
Second, the W1 incorporated elements of Ground Effect into its aerodynamics, a concept that has been reportedly experimented on ever since prototype racing cars had long wings.
Here's an official article related to its aerodynamics
2019 Ginetta G40 Junior
The Ginetta G40 Junior has been racing since 2008 under the "Ginetta GT5 Challenge" as a replacement for the aging G20, though it also raced in Britcar, winning its class in 2010. Up till now, the G40 served as an entry point for aspiring racers and was an
entry point for some of the most sucessful drivers in the racing world like Lando Norris and Tom Ingram under the BTCC.
Next episode’s a once in a while throwback episode about all 4 car pass cars during Update 4.
So I got to thinking last night. If we aren't getting a Horizon Story in the next Series, then what would happen to Larry Chen's E30, if we are getting it (which for the record we still don't know)?
To me there's three possibilities. Either 1) it's the headline car for next update, which would make sense as the thing would make for a great way to further advertise the update's 7/Eleven collab, 2) it's our next Series History reward, which would help cement the collab as a permanent thing with Larry Chen's blessing, or 3) it's just gonna be a paint scheme gifted out to everyone.
I'm going to run a preliminary Series prediction with that first possibility in mind, but again--we don't know for certain if we're going to get that car at all.
Cars of 7/Eleven (or, 'Big in Japan'--foreign cars that were very successful in the Japanese market)
Series Reward/Headline Car: 1986 #29 BMW Kaido Works 318i
Summer: 1997 MG MGF (New-to-Forza)
Autumn: 1984 Rover SD1 Vitesse (Returning from FH4)
Winter: 2017 Alpine A110 (Returning from FH5)
Spring: 1929 Mercedes-Benz SSK (Returning from FH5)
I actually do not know much about my attempted theme, so I really went for what you guys put forward plus a couple cars from both recent and past anime (the SSK was one of Lupin III's cars, and the new A110 was in MF Ghost). If y'all want to help me out or add a couple of your own, that'd be great!
The name of the Series 6 playlist is "Horizon Meet" btw.
