As the sun peeks out from between the rain clouds, a new Spring season is underway in Forza Horizon 4. The last lap of Series 64 is another mad dash to wrap up the featured events before the next series arrives.
Big high performance brands are on the menu for this week, along with freshly remixed rewards for completing both the 50% and 80% targets set by the seasonal playlist.
Rain Drops Falling on the Roof
There’s one car that can be won from the Spring seasonal completion objectives: the 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
The track-focused Huracan delivers the signature Lambo touch of madness to its entry level supercar. A crash diet strips 88lb from the weight and the 5.2-liter V10 has been tweaked to produce 640hp.
However it’s the advanced active aerodynamics that’s the Performante’s party piece. Active flaps on the front and inside the wing can divert airflow for either less drag or more downforce, and will even send more air to one side during hard cornering.
For those struggling to get any of the more exclusive cars, a Horizon Backstage Pass is also available.
Spring’s Photo Challenge is another major contrasting theme. #DriveLikeTheWind wants you to snap a gas-guzzling Hypercar over by the environmentally friendly turbines at the Moorhead Wind Farm. The Spring championships feature a variety of high powered machines including the Lamborghini Aventador SV and Hoonigan Ford Escort.
One car to aim for is the 2008 Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa.
This track car was built to allow customers to experience what the full GT1 racing car would be like with the shackles removed. Under the skin, the 6.0-liter V12 develops 760hp and is the main area where components were changed. Aerodynamics and suspension remain practically identical to the GT1 car, whereas the transmission is a paddle-shift unit rather than a sequential manual.
You’ll need to win the “Aston Martin Cup” Trial event to grab the MC12.
Wrapping up the playlist events is the return of a Showcase Remix. “Taxi for Takeoff” sees you strapped into Isha’s Austin Taxi to do battle against a Deltawing aircraft in a race towards the festival.
There’s one last roll of the Super7 dice available before the series reset arrives. Finish each of the seven cards and you’ll win a Wheelspin.

Up next, demonstrate the 959’s surprising rally capabilities by winning three Dirt Racing Series Trail events. After that, head back to the asphalt to put the 959 through its ultimate paces by winning two Street Scene events.
Finally, finish up the weekly challenges by dodging the traffic on your way to earning a total of ten Ultimate Near Miss Skills.
Forzathon Shop
High exclusivity is the order of the day in the shop, with the 1991 Bentley Turbo R leading the charge.
The Turbo R comes from an era where Bentley and Rolls Royce were under the same roof. Where Rolls was focused on ultimate luxury, the Bentley tried to put a performance spin on its purpose. This stately home on wheels is powered by a 6¾-liter turbocharged V8 making 330hp, all while caressing the owner in sublime luxury.
This Bentley will cost you a hefty 599 Forzathon Points, but you’ll get a car that embodies some of the very best of British engineering.
Those looking for power with their exclusivity can turn to the Maserati MC12 Forza Edition.
The street version of the MC12 is the result of homologation for the car to be eligible for GT1 racing. The Maserati shares its platform and mechanicals with the Ferrari Enzo, meaning a 6.0 liter V12 making 630hp, slightly down on the Enzo’s 650hp. However, the MC12 has better aerodynamics, allowing the Maserati to be faster on a circuit. This special Forza Edition also comes with a Speed Skills boost.
You’ll need 350FP for the MC12, which is a steal for one of the rarest Forza Edition cars.
Novelty items this week are the Dab and See Me Whip emotes.
