1966 Hillman Imp
1983 Opel Kadett A

1968 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback
1965 Ford Transit

1966 Hillman Imp
It’s name implies a devilish spirit or a magical creature. The Hillman Imp is a bit of both by the nature of the innovations it brought to the British car market. While it would never match the production or sales numbers of its top competitor in the tiny city car segment, the BMC Mini, it did offer new features that were far ahead of its time. Consider its miniscule 875cc rear-mounted motor, one of its many firsts for a British production car, or that the inline four-cylinder block and head were made of aluminum. Plus, there were technological conveniences like an automatic choke for easy starting and gauges to provide key engine status measurement. All these features contributed to great success in both rally and touring car racing, a provenance that you will surely appreciate wherever you choose to roam with it.

1963 Opel Kadett A
You may remember the beloved Opel Kadett A named “Oliver” that Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame slogged through the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan of Botswana. He became so attached to the little car that he had it restored and owns it to this day. Hammond’s love of this classic comes with good cause as it was a secret weapon of Opel developed specifically to invade the dominance of Volkswagen during the 1960s. Even though it delivered similar levels of horsepower (around 40 hp) it did offer better heating as well as more interior and luggage space. The Kadett’s popularity and engine reliability provided a resurgence for Opel and the car was exported to many countries including the United States. Whether you punish yours in the muck and mud or reserve your driving strictly to the road is entirely up to you.

1968 Ford Mustang GT 2 + 2 Fastback
There are few more memorable car chases in the history of Hollywood films than the unforgettable sequence in Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. Under the hood of this baby is the same 390 V8 making about 325 hp that burned rubber around the streets of San Francisco. Which of course further ingrained McQueen, who loved to drive in his private life, as one of the great car driving heroes of the big screen. Movie screen fame aside, just consider the 2 + 2 Fastback itself, a car so desirable that you can still build one today provided you have a donor chassis. Just another pony car? Hardly. This is the car that helped make the Mustang the legend it is to this day.

1965 Ford Transit
Practicality not excitement is the Ford Transit’s strength, but it does it so well and has hauled so many goods over the years it is much more than just an endearing mule. The Transit is a beloved workhorse that delivered everything from rubber duckies looking for the perfect bath to rock bands searching for stardom. Ask Scotland Yard and they will tell you that the Transit has been the culprit getaway vehicle in an astounding number of crimes, despite its inability to “getaway” with any significant quickness. It’s bland, and its functional down to its 73 horsepower V4 and live beam suspension, but sometimes getting the job done will earn you more credit than winning races.

2018 TVR Griffith
After 20 years, the return of the heraldic TVR brand brings a new member to the 200 mph plus club in the Griffith. The group of private investors who acquired the TVR brand back in 2013 have not gone out on a limb with the Griffith design, but created just what fans might have envisioned themselves. The Griffith is cut like the top exotics with sweeping, purposeful lines that create downforce and aid engine cooling. The optimal 50:50 weight distribution, helped in part by mounting the Cosworth V8 well behind the front axle, provides a base for handling that will make its top speed secondary to what it can do in the corners. Your first chance to drive the rebirth of TVR is right here.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
Named after the sophisticated French resort town patronized by the likes of Napoleon and Queen Victoria, the Biarritz convertible defined elegance and grace in the late automotive world of the 1950s. It also redefined the term “land yacht.” The car was almost 19 feet long and nearly seven feet wide. The huge tail fins, the tallest ever made, and the unique “rocketship” taillights were just a few of the styling cues that set this car apart. Powered by a 345 horsepower triple-carbureted 390 V8, this 5,000-pound luxury cruiser could almost reach 130 mph. Turning radius was a mere parking lot width of 24 feet and the air-ride suspension while providing a comfy ride gave the Biarritz its distinct “floatiness.”

RTR Cars in Forza Horizon 4

Among the vehicles coming to Forza Horizon 4 with Series 7 are three drift-ready RTR cars. In addition to piloting around the competitive Formula Drift cars driven by the likes of Chelsea DeNofa and Vaughn Gittin Jr., there’s also the road-going 2018 Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5. Keep an eye on the Festival Playlist each week to find out how you can add these amazing rides to your garage!

2018 Ford #25 Mustang RTR
One of the American drifting greats and 2010 Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gitten Jr. is known for his aggressive style and billowing smoky driving. He’s so aggressive that you will often see his Monster Energy liveried Mustang on three or even two wheels on entry. You have to credit the driver for this no-holds-barred, go for it action, but the car deserves some credit as well. After all, when you put massive horsepower from a naturally-aspirated Roush-Yates V8 with a 9,000 RPM redline in this stripped down, full-on, drift car, any Forza lover can give it their all. This is the car that made history drifting the entire Nordschleife leaving a mark that can never be forgotten. It’s one greatness enabling machine you need to experience.

2018 Ford #88 Mustang RTR
Chelsea Denofa has been making a name for himself in many forms of racing. He got his start in the world of drifting before he even had a driver’s license. Since then he has raced as an SCCA pro where he gained car control and incredible driving skills before diving head first into the world of drifting. Now considered among the top drivers in Formula Drift, he joined the RTR Drift Team in 2017. In his BC Racing livery Mustang that shares the same specs with Vaughn Gitten Jr’s RTR Mustang, Denofa has been blowing minds with his precise and exciting drifts. With 1,000 horsepower, BC Racing coilovers, a custom IRS, and 4-speed dog box transmission, it’s now your chance to melt tires and make a name for your own drifting aspirations.

2018 Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5
The Ford Mustang has always been a legend, but when the team at RTR got their hands on this one they created something special and awesome. This pony car has got the look and the guts to go racing, drifting or just cruise. Take a good look at the custom wide body kit with side skirts, chin spoiler, rear diffuser, with RTR hood vents and you can see this thing means business. Looks aside, the real treat is under the hood where you will find a 460 horsepower Coyote V8 putting power through a 10-speed paddle-shifted transmission. It’s the perfect balance of performance and looks and will serve you well wherever you see fit to put it to good use.

With the Series 7 update for Forza Horizon 4 comes the new Festival Playlist feature that provides insight into what’s going in the current season and tracks your progress in those events. The Festival Playlist also gives you a look at what is coming across for the remaining seasons within the series.

In addition to showing the coming championships, challenges, #Forzathon events, and more, you can see what rewards will be on offer for completing those racing events. Each week there is a vehicle reward for achieving 50 percent of the total events and for getting the full 100 percent completed.

Below is a breakdown of the cars available to you during the Series 7 Seasons. The first car of each season (for example, the RTR Spec 5 in summer) is the 50 percent reward. The second is the 100 percent reward. Take a look for yourself!

1970 Porsche 914/6
Conceived in collaboration with Volkswagen, the 914 was to be an economical sports car replacing the VW Karman Ghia and giving Porsche something to call entry-level. Most were produced with VW flat-four-cylinder motors and, in Europe; these were VW badged as well. Only 3,360 914/6’s were produced. The 2.0-liter, flat-six made significantly more (35) horsepower than the largest VW flat-four available in the other models. All had a five-speed transaxle. Porsche entered a 914/6 GT in the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race and it took its class and sixth overall; not too shabby for an entry-level sports car. The 914’s mid-engine, rear-wheel drive and near perfect weight balance make it a confidence-inspiring driver through corners. It’s also an endearing starting point for those wishing to own a Porsche, with a combination of fine performance and elegant aesthetics.

1965 Pontiac GTO
The intermediate-sized Tempest was the basis for this proto-muscle car. By 1965, the GTO had not only become a hit with drivers of all stripes, but it was restyled as well to wear the now-familiar vertically stacked quad headlamps that most people associate with the first-generation GTO. Another change was the hood scoop, which was purely decorative. The 6.3-liter V8 featuring Tri-Power (three two-barrel carburetors) was definitely not a decorative element, providing 360 horsepower and a stonking 424 ft-lbs. of torque. Massively successful, the “Goat” lit a fire under not only buyers and popular culture it also inspired imitators from competing manufacturers, kicking off the muscle car wars.

1952 Hudson Hornet
A historically profound leader in both automotive design and sports car racing, the 1952 Hudson Hornet set new standards in safety, interior space, and handling. It also set stock-car racing win records that would stand for decades. By mounting the floor at the bottom of the frame rails, the Hudson Hornet had a lower center of gravity that contributed to handling that was a class above its competition. Furthermore, structural rigidity and safety were enhanced by steel girders that wrapped into the roof. In an age where V8 cars boasted about their horsepower, Hudson built a 308ci L6 with “Twin-H” power that brought 40 out of 48 wins in 1952. Doc Hudson, the “Fabulous Hudson Hornet” of Pixar’s “Cars”, breathed new life into the awareness of the Hudson Hornet’s history and will naturally inspire many “Cars”-based liveries. Hudson produced cars until 1957 but they will long be remembered as an innovator and race champion.


SPRING

2019 BMW Z4
What's not to like about a rear-wheel-drive roadster? Not much when you are running down the road with the wind in your hair and around 360 turbo driven horsepower from the everloving BMW I6 making mincemeat of everything in your wake. It's the return of the Z4 that disappeared from the BMW lineup in 2016 and Bimmer lovers must say "welcome back." When you consider the form and function of this car that aims to compete with the likes of the Porsche Boxster, it's just one more reason to appreciate German engineering. In an era dominated by the SUV, putting the top down and letting the tail get loose gives us all one more reason to love a true sports car.

2002 BMW M3-GTR
This is hallowed ground. One of the truly great racing machines to ever come to Forza, and it is back. The M3-GTR is a product of homologation rules that required BMW to produce 10 road going versions of the V8-powered Le Mans racer up for sale. What you get is not just 380 naturally-aspirated horsepower but a lightened, strengthened, lowered M3 that is the epitome of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It's still one mean looking wooly beast. A standout among even the most modified standard M3s. Front and rear aero, as well as the roof and hood vents and rear fascia are made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The entire package was derived directly from the racing version and only slightly modified for street use. This is a cherished ride for racing drifting or whatever comes to mind, and we know you will enjoy every tasty bit of it.


SERIES 7 REWARDS

Don’t forget: there are two extra cars available to you based on how much of the entire Series you complete. The Ferrari F50 GT is yours if you get 50 percent of series events done and the Ford Capri Forza Edition is for the try-hards who get 100% completion across the entire series. Take a look:

1996 Ferrari F50 GT
With enough F50s produced and roaming the streets (or resting in private collections), Ferrari was able to homologate the incredible car for racing purposes, creating the F50 GT. The primary name of the game was increased power and less weight—200 horsepower more of the former, and nearly 900 lbs. less of the latter—so it’s no surprise that the F50 GT is an incredible performer. The bottom line is that the F50 GT is an incredible track car, with blistering speed and incredible cornering ability, considering that it is based on a road-going vehicle. In addition, it’s one of the rarest Ferraris around, with just three being constructed.

1973 Ford Capri RS3100 Forza Edition
The Capri is perhaps one of the most European-looking cars Ford ever produced. That might be because Ford designed the car for the European market in an attempt to reproduce the success the Mustang saw in America. The Capri was broadly accepted and for years was available with a variety of powerplants to increase appeal to different audiences. Its long sloping nose and fastback coupe rear were a form that resembled the Mustang but also fit the form of popular Japanese coupes of the era. With its spry 3.1 liter motor in this homologation model, the RS3100 will get the jump on similarly-classed cars. Dieter Glemser and fellow German Jochen Mass both won European Touring Car Championships in Capris, thus proving their adeptness to the track. When you add the Forza Edition tuning and aestetic, you have something to truly treasure.

Hmmmm did anyone else notice the missing Ford Focus ST displayed in the Festival playlist? I sure hope that’s coming some day.

The Barrett-Jackson Car Pack is available for separate purchase and is included as a free add-on for players who own the Forza Horizon 4 Car Pass. The vehicles of the Barrett-Jackson Car Pack are a veritable “who’s who” of collectible automobiles from decades past. From the hand-built 1932 Ford Custom Double Down to the sleek, race-ready 1963 Shelby Monaco King Cobra, these cars have been desired by drivers around the world since their introduction to Forza Motorsport 7 and now is your chance to experience them in Forza Horizon 4. For an in depth look at these amazing vehicles, you can read about them in the story that announced their arrival to Forza 7.

2018 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé (Summer Season 50%)
You don’t have to be an executive to appreciate the first class amenities of the latest in the line of super luxury four-door coupes from Europe. The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door is big in every sense of the word that matters to car lovers. Sure it’s big enough to cruise with threefull-size friends, but more importantly it has the full-size gusto under the hood you have come to expect from the Mercedes-AMG performance group that brought the world the SLS and AMG GT. Consider it the best of both worlds, twin-turbos and a V8. At full tilt you will feel the rush of 630 hp. Well enough to drift into the next dimension and beyond, or just dust the competition the immensity of its opulence.



2012 Ferrari 599XX Evolution (Autumn Season 50%)
It’s notable that Ferrari considers itself a racing team first and automaker second. Leaving no gaps in the realm of elite performance, the XX line was created to bridge between Formula One and production cars. The Evoluzione has only 30 more horsepower than the previous 599XX but is a full second faster on Ferrari’s exclusive Fiorano test track.



1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport 396 (Winter Season 50%)
The ’67 Chevelle SS-396 introduced a number of improvements to the then-three-year-old Chevelle model line, including improved tires, better steering response, and optional front disc brakes. While the three-speed automatic was standard, the Chevelle you’ll drive in Forza 5 features the four-speed option 375-horsepower V8, which was a dealer-installed conversion fitted into just a few hundred of the SS-396 models at the time. That rip-roaring power pushing a chunky hunk of Detroit steel weighing more than 3,500 pounds makes the ’67 Chevelle a classic piece of American muscle car heritage as well as a car that’s just as fun to listen to as it is to slide around a track.



2009 Vauxhall Corsa VXR (Spring Season 50%)
The Corsa VXR puts the “super” in Super Mini. It can also make your city driving downright thrilling. Consider the more than 200 turbo-inspired horses under the hood for a start, then strap in and give it a rip. If the car’s aggressive stance and oversized wheels don’t scream atypical, its stiff suspension will hammer home the point. So go ahead, run it around town, get your groceries but, when that guy next to you at the stoplight gives you a look, don’t hesitate to show your tailpipes as you tear off in a blaze of Super Mini glory.

Not counting any DLC cars, VIP cars and Pre Order cars. Looking to collect as many cars as possible. Thanks.

Series 10 for Forza Horizon 4 arrives this week and is bringing new cars, new events to the Festival Playlist, and more. Foremost among the new cars this series is the astonishing Rimac C_TWO, the 1,900-hp all-electric beast that looks to change the very definition of “hypercar” going forward. With two separate motors powering individual rear wheels, the Rimac is capable of 0-60 mph in about 1.8 seconds, and a gear-regulated top speed of 250 mph.

Other cars coming during the Series 10 timeframe include the Cadillac Limo, the Bentley Continental Forza Edition, the Fiat Dino and the AMC Rebel, which is making its debut in Forza Horizon 4 here with Series 10.
