Hey GTP FH4 users. Thought I'd create a thread about customization in FH4, as I plan on documenting what the game has to offer.

I think it's handy to know what options are available for which cars before you buy them (or even before you buy the game) and that's why I want to create these lists.

The first list is all of the upgrade heroes in the game; cars that come with preset kits that upgrade it in a certain way, both in visuals and performance.

I've broken the list down into 4 categories. Widebodies (further split into Forza Edition Kits, Other, Liberty Walk, Rocket Bunny, Off-Road), Rally, Drag & Miscellaneous, for convenience. For some cars I'll put in a short description of the upgrades for clarity. If the option has (NEW) tag, this just means it's a new Upgrade Hero introduced in Forza Horizon 4, not one ported over from FH3.

Upgrade Heroes: 97/97

Widebodies: 60/60

I also wanted to make another list of cars that have the option to adjust wheel offset. This is a feature that although to some might seem insignificant, to me it's been a feature I've wanted for years in Forza. Again, I think having a list of all these cars (150+ at launch) is great for making informed purchasing decisions.

In the information confirmed from dev build, it seems that Rocket Bunny kit was added to 94 Mazda MX-5 and Forza kit was added to 17 Ford Focus RS.

Also, I would like to suggest adding a list of roof racks to this list.
They stated that roof racks were added to some cars.

A thumbnail that is expected to be Ford Transit Supervan Forza Edition. This car is equipped with a roof rack and a ladder.

Yeah I think it was @TheAdmiester found kits for

2009 Mini JCW
2013 Audi R8
2017 Ford Focus RS
1994 Mazda MX-5

Info from Dev Build is all good. Though I want to see confirmation first before adding them, just to be sure. Though these are very likely, and I can't wait for that Mini. Gonna be sick.

As for the Transit, I'll put that under miscellaneous, if it is actually a upgrade hero. That could be the Horizon Stories Transit and the regular transit might not have those options.

I also plan on doing another list of cars with unique upgrade options that aren't upgrade heroes (like the Skyline R34, for example) but first I just want the off-set and upgrade heroes lists most complete first.

Thank you.
I understood the purpose of this thread.
I will post only the correctly confirmed information here.

It's also incredibly ugly and poorly designed, but hey, it is Forza.

The front end and rear diffuser are not bad, but then that rear fender with the ridiculously low wheel arch and the nonsensical air "intake"... Yuck.

Is that a Mk. I Focus RS I see behind the Unimog, on the right? Was the Mk. I Focus RS ever that large?

I don't see a Focus of any vintage in that photo. From left to right I see a Penhall, the Unimog, two very indistinct cars in the back, and

That is the Arctic Trucks Hilux.

Which is what I see, too.
 
I see some pretty distinct triangleish headlights with very much similar set up as a MKI Ford Focus RS

Could possibly be the second gen, maybe. In my opinion it resembles the first gen more.

Could also be a 2011 STi, going off the vague light shape, Maybe even the 2010 Renault Clio 200 R.S, since it does have a Forza Edition in the game.

EDIT: I'd put my money on the Renault. The mirrors really look similar, thats the best I can go off of lol

EDIT 2: I dunno anymore, because the hood lines don't really match. I give up.

You're using a pretty low resolution image of the Unimog. Click through to see it in its full 3840x2160 glory:


This is a better look at the vehicle in question:


And here's the Toyota Arctic Trucks AT37 which also has triangular-ish headlamps:
 
It is definitely the Hilux.
latest

Same red color, Massive fender flares, Chrome side mirrors, the bull-bar mounted lights, The black thing on the hood (I don't know what it is called), the hood scoop, even the toolbox on the back is visible in the FH4 screenshot.
Plus it is racing with a bunch of other offroad vehicles.
