April DLC Clue thread is up

[AudiMan2011]

Someone said on the official forums that clue #7 could be the Jaguar Project 7. It did start as just a concept, but then everyone loved it and they got enough deposits that they built 80 of them. That's a possibility, but we already have an F-type so I don't really see the point of having two, though it is very pretty.

Production numbers for Project 7 were 250 units.

Two years ago, the Project 7 concept charged about at Goodwood, tyre smoke clearing to reveal frantically waving chequebooks. Then design director Ian Callum announced this even sexier F-type was all a big tease. Waving of larger chequebooks ensued, and now we’re driving the production car.
Just 250 are being built, the £135k tag representing a £43k premium over the V8 R Convertible. All are sold.

It also inspired the hot SVR.

Apparently this is all we're getting until the pack comes out tomorrow:

Getting hungry for some more clues? Well, if you peruse the thread with an attention to detail you will find five of the seven cars of the pack correctly guessed. You people never cease to amaze me. Well done.

It seems you have a consensus on a couple cars, the remainder are one-off or two-off correct guesses. That leaves two more clues you may have. Then look forward to the pack being announced tomorrow at 6 a.m. Pacific and then come watch me test them out in the Forza Motorsport Twitch stream tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Here is a general bonus clue in response to one particular post. There is no "always" in a DLC pack format. Each pack has its own nuanced cars. There is no pattern, at least not that I have ever been able to figure out.

I will explain the drift of my clues in Rear View Mirror, which won't be published until tomorrow after the car pack is announced.

Here's a couple more clues, and to keep it difficult I am not going to specify what cars they apply to.

If I had one I would drive it all night and watch the sunrise!


Finally a car I can where my Iron Maiden Van's in and it makes sense.

Alright, have fun with those and I will see you in the stream if you are cool enough to show up.

A Jaguar?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

An XJ would be an awesome addition.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I hope it'll be the XJR and not the 'regular' XJ V8.

 

[VXR]

Yeah, I'm not overly fond of the XJ's looks, but getting any long luxury car is a boon. I miss the S65 from the first Horizon.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

I assume that would tie in with Clue #1 Car #4.

In that case... tentative Jag XJ confirmation? Yes please.

Clue #1 Car #5
Entirely out of character but awesome nonetheless.

This one is intriguing. It definitely fits the i8 given that until then, BMW's forays into electric cars were oddities such as the E1 or the i3 family car. I just don't think BMW care to license anything without an M-badge, either full M-car or ones like the M235i.

Production numbers for Project 7 were 250 units.

My apologies, there's one for sale by Hexagon Classics and in the listing they said only 80 were produced.

This one hurts my eyes and I'm still clueless.

I think it's supposed to be "wear", maybe. Van's are a shoe brand.

Iron Maiden have a song called Drifter, so it's obviously the S14.

But they've got songs called The Nomad and El Dorado, too.

I pray it's the S14 for the rage.

 

[waboo]

It's almost worth it being not for the rage !

 

[-Fred-]

I personally hope we never see it again. And if they ever want to include drift oriented cars, by god, give us RWD Toyota sedans instead. Much, much cooler.

Hmmm...

 

[FerrariF1GT]

I think that the sunrise clue has to do with the Sunbird. Don't even get me started with the W&N connotation.

 

[-Fred-]

Ohhh I didn't even think about the Ariel Nomad, all I thought about was the old Chevy! That'd be quite... mad.

 

[GroupB]

Imagine the havoc a '67 Eldorado would cause in FF races.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Now that it's mentioned, the Ariel Nomad would be a fun addition. I'm assuming it's a shoe-in for FH3, though!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'd expect that to be in the next Forza Horizon instead of a Motorsport version.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

If my calculations are correct, we've got just a hair under 7 hours to go until the official reveal. I'm quite excited.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

Dlc day! (Here in England anyway)

Hoping for some interesting automobiles on this one.

A Robin Reliant would be hilarious.

And more interesting than an S14.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Guess I'm buying Star Wars and a $25 Xbox card tomorrow.

 

[SimTourist]

Can't wait, gotta be something cool.

 

[willbsn13]

My guesses.

1. 1967 Pontiac GTO LeMans
2. 1962 Lincoln Continental
3. 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K
4. 2016 Jaguar XJ-S
5. 2014 MG MG6 BTCC Car
6. 2017 Fiat 124 Spider
7 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan

Silly question, but how much does a car pack cost in dollars? I always ended up buying the Car Pass for all of the Forza Motorsport games I've played. Hopefully $9.00 is enough.

I think they are usually $12.99.

Oh god. Seriously?

 

[bremics]

Oh god. Seriously?

Nope, I appear to have been way off. $6.99

Sorry for the panic lol.
