FH3 Update Glitch Reveals New Cars: Porsches, DB11, ATS-V & More

[Silver Arrows]

This hasn't even been officially unveiled yet

What a world we live in.



I guess the leak from FH3 forced Bentley's hand in regards to teasing the car.

That's just not true. The government did not mandate any specific cars or models or anything like that. "the U.S. government’s plan transferred a majority of Chrysler’s reorganized stock over to Fiat and unsecured creditors for no consideration other than a promise to build more fuel-efficient vehicles in the U.S. over time."

Chrysler needed to replace the Avenger and the Caliber which were both very old designs. The compact/midsize sedan category is hugely important and profitable. Just ask Toyota with the Camry and Honda with the Accord. They cobbled together something using the Giuletta's underpinnings and got the Dart and Chrysler 200, but neither were as good as they should have been. Instead of getting a better replacement ready, they abandoned the segment.

One of the conditions was to build a small car that got 40 mpg, which the Dart never ended up meeting anyway.

It gets revealed tomorrow? I thought Bentley would be dragging their feet and try to tease it and forget that people already know it exists in some form with this leak.

 

[FT-1]

I did a bit more research on the Bentley and some images of the car have actually surfaced already

Makes sense that there would be some spy shots, but these are pretty blatant production shots.

Also, it doesn't look that different from the GT3-R, in all honesty.

A possible Detroit Auto Show reveal!

Considering that tease came before the leak, that's unlikely.

Alright, I am confused by this list. The list is showing over 50 cars. But we only have 2 car packs left. Each car pack got 7 cars. So with 2 car packs left, we should get a total of 14 cars left.

Why are there over 50 cars on the list?

DLC packs don't stop at the season pass.

Yeah, it could be like a Driveclub situation where they offer DLC packs separate from the season pass.

Most, if not all of those cars may either a) Be part of future car packs beyond the initial season pass or b) Not make it into FH3 but stand a good chance of appearing in FM7.

We know it will be. Every Forza that's had a season pass has released DLC that's not in the season pass up to summer time.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

It is worth remembering that some of these cars may not end up in Horizon 3. Do we remember the Metro 6R4 that was spotted in the Forza 5 dev build? That didn't even turn up until the next game, and in an expansion months after release at that.

Although saying that, It seems odd that they would add cars like the 917 and Lola to the code if they weren't going to release them for the game.

Those two cars make me believe there is going to be an emphasis on closed cockpit endurance racers in FM7.

I don't understand why they went with a Series III Land Rover. The IIa is universally regarded as the superior model. Just please please please let it not be a US market model. They already made that mistake with the Defender.

The IIa is my favourite for looks. What about it is regarded better than the III?

go PS pro and PC and play all the PC sims and forza + GTS

Truuuuuuuuue

They don't make mistakes, they just source locally because it's cheaper and easier.

 

[PJTierney]

They will.

For the past 3 games: 6 months of Car Pass DLC, 6 months of independent DLC.

The Series 3 had a full synchro gearbox that's less sturdy than the older one. It also has a heavier more car-like interior. And arguably the Series 2 is a nicer looking vehicle.

It's a simple matter of using images readily available to construct the British market one. It's how they build them anyway, take a bunch of pictures and then reproduce it on a computer.

They have been using laser scanning as well for a few years now. Generally that's the preferred method, and the photo process substituted where access is limited or unavailable.

From what I've read they do very little laser scanning. Most of the time they take a lot of measurements and hundreds of photographs. Laser scanning is pretty much only done on museum-quality racing cars and the like.

The process I'm referring to is where they cover the car with a tape grid and map a point at each intersection. Not sure the exact term but I beileve they've referred to it as a form of laser scanning. I've seen it done on everything from a Veryron to an Omni.

Interesting that there's still complaints that more Australian cars need to be added. The base game has more Aussie models than any other game title in history (outside of games dedicated to the V8 series), and all but one of the DLC packs so far have increased that count.

It's like the S14 all over again.

I believe this is because Aussie cars have had next to no representation in any car game where both mechanical and visual upgrades are possible. Some of the most fun I've had in Horizon 3 is making multiple variants of the same car.

I've lost count of how many XR GTs I have lol.

Dont get me wrong, I am more than happy with the representation that we have finally got in a racing game, but I would not complain if they bought more. TBH, I hope they release an Aussie car pack DLC later down the track.

There are still many Aussie cars i'd like to see in this game.

I have to concur with this statement. I hope we get more generations of the Commodores & Falcons & then other Holdens & Fords not currently in the game.

I would like to see the Joss Supercar in Forza.

Also our neighbour New Zealand needs their cars in game to or future games.

Kiwiland really doesn't have too many cars, though. The worthlessly slow little Trekka, and the Esprit-knockoff Rover V8 powered Heron kit car. That's about it.

South Africa has a much richer (comparatively) car manufacturing history. The Basil Green Fords, Chevrolet Firenza CanAm, the ZA market only E12 530 MLE (very first M car from BMW, in fact) and M1 powered 745i, Chrysler Barracuda, the Flamingo sports car. And a few others.
