This one:

Not as fast as a Corvette but it will beat a Volkswagen.

Then, this clue was added:

Good guesses on this but think about this clue as a quote and it might bring you closer.

Then, on Wikipedia, I found this...

"Advertisements in magazines such as Hot Rod teased that The Machine is not as fast as a 427 cu in (7.0 L) Chevrolet Corvette or a Chrysler Hemi engine, but it will beat a "Volkswagen, a slow freight train, or your old man's Cadillac."

So...

Alright, I get to finally drive the C7 Z06! :D

Also, I actually do hope that clue above leads to an AMC. There's only one AMC car in FH2 right now and I think it could use some company. Oh yeah, and a Bugatti EB110 SS would be excellent!

I'm all for variety, but this game is in Europe. That seems too esoteric a choice.

I think it was worse in Horizon 1. Being Colorado, and surrounded by many Euro cars, like the Citroën DS3. In Europe they are a bit of an oddball, yes, but...it can happen. I can't wait to see what they are holding for FM6...
 
There's no Volvo, Peugeot etc and they have more fitting cars for the locale that were present in 4 and 5, though.
 
Well, it seems like there were problems securing the license for PSA in FH2, which means no Peugeot or Citroën cars. It makes sense, being France and not having those? Pity.
 
YES! EB110 SS, come to me my precious!

EDIT: oh and the same thing about the C7 Z06. I don't know why, but since seeing the C7 Z06 in person; I just fell in love with that thing.

AMC Rebel?

Kinda weak.

I expected a lot more for the first non-season pass car pack.
 
The connoisseur's Bugatti is unquestionably the EB110 of the early 1990s. Named to celebrate what would have been Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday - the 1991 launch date, by a clever bit of planning - this was an almost unbelievably ambitious supercar. The money poured into development was staggering, with a new factory built to produce the EB110 (architecturally intelligent, to maximise natural light and thus stimulate the thought processes of the people inside) while the machine itself was an exercise in bespoke engineering and unique detail. The carbon-fibre chassis was built by Aérospatiale, the French state-owned aerospace company, and the 3.5-litre V12 produced its howling peak of 560bhp thanks to no less than four turbos. This is a car that emerged almost a quarter of a century ago, yet happily boasts thoroughly modern performance figures: try 0-62mph in 4.2s and a top whack of 213mph for size.

You are welcome to drool over these. :D

In 1992, the EB110 Super Sport arrived. As well as being more powerful, the SS was lighter, shaving a whole second off the 0-62mph time and increasing top speed to 216mph. And it's that model that we're looking at here... kind of. But not really.

You see, this hugely expensive venture was rather less than a fairytale. Bugatti were struggling financially, and by 1995 they were facing bankruptcy - thanks in no small part to the development of the mooted EB112 four-door as well as an overly ambitious plan to buy Lotus.

Dauer Sportwagon in Nuremburg, Germany, bought the remaining stock of EB110 parts from the Bugatti factory. A complete spare parts catalog, with exploded diagram and part numbers is now available from Dauer Sportwagen. The company has used the few remaining incomplete chassis to produce the limited edition Dauer EB110.

The revised car weighs 970 pounds (440 kg) less than the 4,233 pounds (1,920 kg) of the original US-spec Bugatti. The European version weighed 4,145 lb (1,880 kg), but the Dauer car weighs only 3,263 lb (1,480 kg), despite adopting the longer US-style bumpers. The crash beams behind the bumper skins are also made from carbon fibre.

The Bugatti engine is a 3.5-liter, quad-cam, five-valves-per-cylinder, 60-degree V12 with four IHI turbos. The Dauer engine is rated at 865 bhp (645 kW) at 8,250 rpm, a boost of 305 bhp (227 kW) from the GT and 262 bhp (195 kW) from the SS. The four-wheel-drive car can reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 3.35 seconds, achieve a standing kilometer in under 19 seconds and has an estimated maximum speed of 230 mph (370 km/h), some 7 mph (11 km/h) faster than the original. The company Dauer Sportwagen went bankrupt in 2008. All original Bugatti parts especially the high performance parts of the EB110SS and the equipment were bought in 2011 by the company Toscana-motors GmbH (Kaiserslautern/Germany).

The remaining five half-finished EB110s were snapped up by Dauer Sportwagen (previously well known for their work with Porsche 962s among much else), and so the very latest EB110s were built by this world-class engineering and racing outfit rather than at the fabled Bugatti factory. Dauer EB110s weighed 1,480kg - a whopping 400kg less than Bugatti EB110s - and the engine was rated at a monstrous 865bhp. Top speed increased to 230mph.
Dauer themselves went bankrupt in 2008, and these later EBs are commanding astonishing figures now; the one you're looking at here was recently sold by Joe Macari for £795,000. Still, it's cheaper than a Veyron...

Dauer EB110 SS

THIS CAR VS LA FERRARI / PORSCHE 918 / MC CLAREN P1

Back in the 90's this was probably the 2nd or 3rd fastest production car EVER even besides the McClaren F1, or XJ220. Amazing car. Both The EB110 and the Dauer EB110 SS must be in FORZA MOTORSPORT 6. PLEASE T10. LOOK AT THIS DAUER!!!!

Well, I just downloaded the pack and not to long after getting home from taking my final exam. This should be a fun treat, that's if the update allowing dlcs occurred yet.

EDIT: and it didn't update. Darn, the update system Turn 10 & PG picks for their dlc releases really annoys me sometimes.
 
I just bought, donwloaded the car pack for £3.99. But the car pack and cars are not showing up in the Forza Horizon 2 game???? I restarted the game too.
 
Just bought Horizon 2 today and it should be delivered next week. I've got quite a lot of free cars to download.

I'll be loading it up next week too. Should be a fun train of updates, in addition to all the Forza Rewards stuff I've been redeeming each month. :lol:

So basically, you'll be a millionaire at the start of the game. :lol:

Okay, this is a minor complaint, but I wish I would be allowed to buy the barn find cars after finding and restoring them. Seriously, I like to buy more than one car so I have one car stock and one car for modifications and this restriction can be a pain.

*posts video about dissappointment*

I have to ask, what do you find disappointing about this pack exactly?
 
Personally it's a very weak pack, especially since it's not with the season pack.

C7 Corvette with Aero pack and some performance upgrades, could have some fun with this.
C1 Corvette? Never been a fan.
Wagoneer? Not my thing.
Don't like the body styling of the AMC.
TTS isn't that interesting to me. Hasn't really changed in 13 years.
The Bugatti might be fun, but it's also the free car so...

Yeah.

Tons of new cars in i would rather have and dozens from F4 and FH.
