Jiotto
Puritalia
Soldat
1. Puritalia 427 '14
The Puritalia 427 is an Italian muscle car based on the shape of the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, given with its simplistic, lightweight roadster form. It is powered by a 5.0L supercharged Ford Coyote V8 engine and can reach over 200 mph and is known for a beautiful engine sound. The looks of this and the roar of its engine are the car's sense of bravado and is meant to make a big impression.
2. Jiotto Caspita '89
Co-developed by Japanese racing constructor, DOME (known for the DOME Zero), the Jiotto Caspita is powered by a de-tuned flat-12 boxer engine derived from Formula One technology with over 450 horsepower and has a lightweight mass of 1240kg and with sleek aerodynamics that help it reach a top speed of 200mph. The car was very advanced in terms of technology and even featured gull-wing doors and would've been the dream supercar of many enthusiasts, but was never put to production. However, once you buy the pack, you can experience this car only in the Forza universe.
3. SSC Tuatara Prototype '11
The next step in the evolution of the Ultimate Aero series, the SSC Tuatara Prototype is a twin-turbo V8-powered bullet car hoping to compete against the likes of the Koenigsegg One: 1 and the Hennessey Venom GT, two of the fastest machines to ever exist in today's world. Being powered by an engine with a similar horsepower output to the One: 1 (rated at around 1350hp, that's also one megawatt), it even boasts a better power-to-weight ratio as it weighs 1250kg thanks to the use of carbon fiber, inside and out. SSC claims it can reach a speed higher than the One: 1 at 275mph. However, this is a prototype and is yet to enter production, but there hasn't been any news about the final car yet.
4. Ford Torino '74
Made famous thanks to the movie "Starsky and Hutch", the 1974 Torino, like many other muscle cars that made a massive cultural impact from movies, is a true fan favorite among enthusiasts. Being powered by a large 7.5L V8 (460cu.in), this iconic muscle GT produces 260hp, as much as a '69 Z/28 Camaro. With this you can take it out on the city streets of Australia and compete against its Aussie cousins, which are the classic Ford Falcons.
5. Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodinamica Spider '35
A well-celebrated Alfa Romeo roadster from the '30's, and co-developed with Croatian engineers, the Aerodinamica Spider was a sports car way ahead of its time, also being able to produce the first true ideal mid-engined layout for sports cars and a central driving position. It is based off of the 6C series, making it have a 2.3L six-cylinder engine produce just only 95 horsepower. But don't let that fool you, what made the car famous was its sleek aerodynamics and shape, giving it a low cd-value and making the car able to reach a speed of 140mph despite its modest output. This car is no doubt a typical benchmark combination of both beauty and beast.
6. Nissan Leaf Nismo RC '11
A more aggressive racing-style concept of the gentle Nissan Leaf, this one looks tamed and almost as if it can power houses. Actually, it shares the original Leaf's motor and had it stripped of any and all luxuries and was changed to a rear-wheel drive layout. Despite the low output yet the aggressive looks, it can reach 0-60 in 6.85 seconds and reach a speed of above 100mph. However, don't panic, in the game, you can upgrade its electric motor to give it more punch in order for it to take the fight to any faster cars in street races.
7. Icona Vulcano Titanium Prototype '15
Icona is a Chinese brand with Italian design in mind, and with their titanium-bodied Vulcano prototype, the car is incredibly light, as they claim that it's the world's first titanium-bodied supercar. Powering this car is the same engine as the C6 ZR1 Vette, the LS9, a supercharged 6.2L V8, which is typically used in many other supercars (like for example, the Bertone Mantide), but was slightly tuned to produce 670hp. This is actually a pre-production prototype, so when it hits production, users can opt for a more powerful engine as well, up to 1000hp, but the actual car will produce 670hp at all costs. With this lightweight body and powerful, exotic engine, a speed of above 220mph is expected.
Free car: Soldat Raggio by Yamasa (2006 Tokyo Auto Salon) '06
This JDM-built one-off car was known for making a massive cultural impact in the now-dormant Ridge Racer series, but actually as a real car compared to its fantasy variant. The car is actually an upgraded 2000's Acura NSX on steroids, sharing the same 3.2L V6, but features a custom exhaust to produce 300 horsepower and with a custom suspension and a lighter build, it actually can outperform an average JDM or GT sports car for its class. You can also expect it to be a powerful favorite among street racers across Australia's wide and long roads as well and would be ideal for hooning.
