Clue 6. Please be the 1924 Bugatti Type 35

#7 is the Honda Element.

1- DeTomaso

Clue 3: hopefully the Brabham BT46b or the Tyrrell P34
Clue 6: i prey to the car god's that it's the 1924 Bugatti Type 35

John said oldest in motor sport series.

Clue 1: Subaru Fiori

5. The Mk1 Ford Transit - I'm guessing it because it was known to be very competent and used to be a favoured vehicle for robberies in its day, I believe the police also used them at the time too.

Could Clue 1 be the new BMW Z4? As it and the Fiat 124 Spider are based on the Mazda MX-5?

For the record, none of these cars have ever been seen in Forza games before. For two I see ZERO correct answers so far.

Great guesses and thinking though.

I love you guys! Love me some clue thread fun!

John

oh, I do see one very close answer.

Well,# 1 must be an Asian,Italian combo,what cars have this?

Ooh, I've missed these. They're usually good fun!





I can see this being an Italian styled car with an American powertrain.

This could be a De Tomaso car, the Pantera or the Mangusta. Both would be good to see.

I really hope that it's the Bizzarrini Strada



Could be the new Corvette ZR1



Some have said the Brabham BT46. But I think this could also be the Tyrrell P34. Having only won one race, the 1976 Swedish Grand Prix.







Surely this is a Mk1 Transit. Favoured for bank robberies (used for 95% according to a Scotland Yard spokesman in the 70's!)

They were also used by the police forces.

If we get one of these, I do hope that there's the option to transform it into a Transit Supervan! Based on a GT40 chassis.

Could go for a Mk1 Facelift though, and bring in the Supervan 2.



Bugatti Type 35.



Come on Mk2 Transit!

They were built into just about every configuration possible. From recovery trucks to campervans. Ice cream vans to police vans. The list is almost endless!

Especially for the Mk2 Transit Supervan! (Supervan 3)

Clue #3> 1994 Penske PC-23 with the Mercedes engine that was only run at Indy that year and won the race., supposedly had over 1,000 hp.

Clue 4: Checker Marathon - came across it when looking up "GM V8's" and early ones had flatheads. so might be the ticket
Clue 5: 1970 Citröen 2CV / Mk1 transit
Clue 6: 1931 Bentley 8 Litre

Clue #6 - 4½ Litre Blower Bentley ('27-'31)

I was just thinking this morning about how I'd love to see a Blower Bentley in Forza and, wouldn't you know it, a supercharged Bentley 4 1/2 Litre fits clue #6 perfectly given the cars production run between '27 and '31. Might be a long shot but with a vague clue like that, here's hoping!

From what ive seen, looks like there wont be any race cars this time around.

#1 I was thinking could be;
De Tomaso Pantera - Italian car with American engine. - Links to the Pasta with Sausage a little. A well known iconic car.
Mastretta MXT - Relatively modern Mexican sports car, links in with Tacos & Pasta and Sausage. Featured in Top Gear once...

Clue 3
One-off, one-win wonder!

That clue right there hints at a racecar.

I want the fourth clue to be a Humber Super Snipe so bad, as we already have one Rootes Group car (the Tiger) so another one would be excellent.

The Mastretta is based off the Lotus Elise, which is British...

Clue 5 Bare bones chase, be chased. I say Plymouth Road Runner. The original was described as bare bones back in the day with a taxi cab interior and rubber floor matts instead of carpeting in the early coupe versions of the car. Plymouth wanted a hi-po car everyone could afford. Also, most law inforcement agencies relied on Plymouth for hi speed pursuit vehicles and many were Plymouth Belvedere's. In '68 Plymouth called their mid-sized missle the Belvedere Road Runner. I sure hope Turn 10 gave us the bird. One of my all time favorite cars!
Of course, I am am probably way off and we will get a Honda Element instead.

#1 - Why does everyone assume that sausage is American? Hot dogs are American. Sausage is German. Which points to Pagani and their AMG engines.

And I'll say it's the 2017 Zonda HP Barchetta, because technically, while there are plenty of Zonda and Huayra variants in Forza history, this would technically be a first appearance for that particular variant.

#4 - You'd have to define "long before", but I assume this excludes manufacturers that developed hemispherical combustion chambers shortly before, during or after the 1960s (the heyday of MOPAR Hemis). Jaguar and Lancia seem like two likely culprits. I'll go with a 1951 Lancia Aurelia B20GT - from the Mille Miglia days.

#7 - I'm probably way off, but a "rig that can do anything based on the configuration" sounds a lot like a Mercedes Unimog. I've seen it being used for rally raid, construction, agriculture, military use, firefighting, and much more. Heh, if the Caddy limo, the Pontiac Aztek and the MB racing truck could make it in Forza, I can't see why the Unimog couldn't...

Really? This one screams race car to me.

For # 4,i am going with an old Packard.

From what you have seen? You have seen nothing but a bunch of guesses. So don't rule anything out.
