Car customization

We have added a new Track Width upgrade option in Forza Horizon 4 for 150 or so cars.

The Twerkstallion in the game is exactly as it was when we sourced it for Horizon 3. It’s understandable, but not realistic, to expect us to update a real world car in game every time its owner updates it in real life (especially that car!) The cars we build are a “snapshot in time.”

There are a lot of options we know you’d like us to add, and we’d like to as well: Window decals, paintable brake calipers, multi-piece wheel painting to name a few of the most commonly requested features… But like everything we do, there are considerations that need to be made with priority, schedule, budget, technical risks, licensing issues, download size for updating cars etc. When you have many hundreds of cars, these challenges multiply. Just one new feature applied to even just 100 cars creates the potential for hundreds of new bugs to fix, for example.

We tackle them as we can - widebody kits, rally, and hot rod conversions in FH3 (as well as 30 new wheels). In FH4, we’re adding more widebody kits, new off-road conversions, new Track Width options (finally!), Drift Suspension upgrade with extreme steering angle and camber, and Drag tires (as well as an entirely updated suspension simulation that applies to all cars, making them feel much more connected to the road).

We are listening :wink:
