SHOWCASE REMIX - MOTOCROSS PURPOSES Buggies and bikes return, with dirt, jumps and ramps aplenty in this Showcase Remix.

Expect it to reach top of S2 with twin turbos. Won't be fun to drive in S2, but S2 is the worst class in the game anyway. The game's meta falls apart above A class. So just enjoy the cruise and the casual racing. :) May the forced induction be with you. Alice >>>>>>>>>> Keira

Rank: A-Class Racing License		#9 Posted : Saturday, January 11, 2020 10:30:56 AM(UTC) Does the Huracán Evo have forged carbon too? If it's indeed the Performante I hope PG doesn't murder it with a horrendeous PI value and tons of drag like they did with the Pista, ZR1, GT2 RS (PI), 600LT, 720S and other modern Supercars. It was the most requested car for a long, long time. I can only pray the car programmers did their job. I'm seeing it stock between Pi 910 and 920 because it surely comes stock with race tires.

The EVO probably does have Forged Carbon, but a quick search of the rear confirms this is not the EVO.

But soon it will fall behind them. They simply have more power, more torque, better power/weight ratio. http://www.supercarworld...rtorder=&carlist=718~778~818~716 Definitely a S2 car. I love Performante. And AWD is just more useful in FH games.
