It appears Playground Games has more cars planned for Forza Horizon 3. Thanks to the accidental release of the dev version, players have found hints of new models buried in the latest update’s code.
The latest update brought the Mountain Dew car pack to FH3. Alongside it, Playground seemingly added multiple cars to the game’s database, including sounds for some. The full list of entries, and their real-world equivalents, below:
- BUG_Type57S_37 (1937 Bugatti Type 57S)
- CHE_HooniganBelair_55 (1955 ‘Tri 5 By Fire’ Chevrolet Bel Air)
- TOY_Sports800_65 (1965 Toyota Sports 800)
- CIT_2CV_70 (1970 Citroen 2CV)
- CHE_HooniganNova_72 (1972 ‘Napalm Nova’ Chevrolet Nova)
- BM_Blazer_79 (1979 Baldwin Motorsports Chevrolet Blazer)
- PEU_405T16_88 (1988 Peugeot 405 T16)
- POR_Hoonigan_91 (1991 ‘RWBxHoonigan 965’ Porsche 911 Turbo)
- MAZ_Twerkstallion_92 (1992 ‘Twerkstallion’ Mazda RX-7)
- POR_928GTS_93 (1993 Porsche 928 GTS)
- MG_MG3_13 (2013 MG MG3)
Keen-eyed viewers will note a handful of modified cars in the list (the two Chevrolets, a Porsche, and a Mazda). Together, these all sound like the beginnings of a Hoonigan-themed car pack, something Corey Hosford hinted at way back in October 2016.
The rest of the list is chock-full of surprises. A pre-war Bugatti mixing with a diminutive ’60s Toyota sports car? Yep. Citroën returning to the franchise for the first time in years, not with a modern hot hatch but the classic Deux Chevaux? Oui. There’s also the potential for the first Chinese-built car in Forza history, with the MG MG3.
Easily the most intriguing to us are the Porsche 928 and Peugeot 405 T16. The 928 was Porsche’s first go at a big GT car, and stayed in production for nearly 20 years. It also bears the distinction of being the first front-engined, V8-powered model from Stuttgart. Meanwhile, fans of Pikes Peak should be familiar with the Peugeot 405:
These discoveries suggest Playground Games will continue to support Forza Horizon 3 well into the summer. For reference, FM6 DLC support ran right through to August, though the game has received numerous updates since then largely due to the Forza Racing Championship. If the plan is to continue supporting both franchises concurrently, we expect a fair amount of content to come yet.
As ever, we’ll have to sit and wait to see which — if any — of these cars arrive in Forza Horizon 3. With E3 just around the corner, perhaps it won’t be very long.
