Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Edax 76]

There's definitely something out of whack with their progression/completion system; SVO worked fine for me.

Also, got bored of having too much money and decided to cheese the 'cars bought from Autoshow' accolade. I ended up buying 160 300ZXs and decided to just give 'em away after. If any of you receive one (or more) from me, that's why.

That's an accolade I still need to pop. Currently on 241. Just need to find the patience to sit down and buy 159 cars lol.

Easiest way to do it is via the car collection screen; just mash Y over one of the 20,000 Cr. cars and voila (the Mustang SVO is cheaper at 15,000, but as it's DLC you can't gift it or auction it). It's worth pinning the accolade to your screen and occasionally checking to make sure you don't go over; that's what I did, and it only took about 5 mins.

Gifting them all, however, was another story...

I bought around 150 Honda Civics. After I was done, I just removed them all from my garage. Gifting takes too long and I feel like an ahole gifting new players 150 crappy Hondas.

I never thought of doing it this way!!! Mate you're a genius, thank you so much. Honestly that's saved me a load of time. 👍👍👍

I was quite happy to just delete them, but I found it slightly faster to gift them at a barn find location. I did take the time to only pick out new players to try and limit giving them to people who didn't really need/require the car. That said, I'm still getting gifted cars as a 'new player' (can tell by the messages) and I've put over 200 hours into the game, so who knows how it categorises people. Have got a nice bump in player kudos as a result though, not that it really has any value.

No worries!

I think when the person it was intended as a gift for doesn't take it, it just gets randomised but the message stays the same.

This car reminds me a RX7 1985

could it be a starion??

on second thought, they wouldn't use an existing car on such a thumbnail.

It looks very much like a Starion to me too, which also doesn't make sense for the reasons you say... but what on Earth is this with the odd wing-mirror-onna-stalk?

Its too vertical for even an AMG One. Def. not any Pagani or Koenigsegg.

As much as the existing car thing makes sense, that looks unmistakenly like a Starion. The front bumper in particular gives it away. Tbf, having the 85 rx7 back wouldn't be too bad, even if it's more recycling.
As far as the mirror-on-a-stalk car goes - it could be a supercar already in the game (like a jesko) just that the angle makes the mirrors look goofy. But then again, I can't really think of any supercars existing IRL with mirrors that resemble small water towers, so...

I thinks its the new daytona sp3

 

[Edax 76]

I've just popped the 'Buy 400 cars' accolade. I did it by purchasing 149 Nissan Pulsars. I have done a bad thing though, I flooded the market with 149 gifted Pulsars 😂😂😂

 

[Eraldodisha]

Or the Black Series!!

 

[Famine]

The best I can come up with is the Isdera Commendatore 112i.

closest i could find

Suprisingly It came to my head too, but i thought it would be too obscure.

I thank NFS II for telling me about this cool car (i also want the Nazca C2 plz Forza, which also has vertical mirror mounts)

 

[nukleabomb]

oops double post

Makes a bit more sense if that’s the case.

Only thing I could think of with the general shape of the body is the Valkyrie AMR Pro.

The only thing throwing me off is that the blurred mirrors appear taller and more rounded off. Only other thought is the Ford GT90, since that had quite high mirrors-on-stalks, but that bodywork is all kinds of wrong for it to be that.

 

[RageRacer]

Or.....It's just the McLaren 765LT.

 

[willbsn13]

As much as I'd love the 85 RX-7 and any of the above suggestions (AMR Pro, AMG GT Black Series, Elva) for the series update, I'm keeping my expectations in check - it's most likely a Starion and a 765LT

I think the only cars we'll get in this series will be Donut Media cars - aside from maybe 1 extra reward car. And I wouldn't expect that to be something amazing, probably just a returning car from FH4.

The red car is definitely a starion

 

[sw3g005]

Hmm... looking at this picture more, I'm not really sure what car it's supposed to be. The above mentioned suggestions aren't bad, but I have my doubts if the car in question actually is any of them. I'm puzzled in particular by these three elements in combination, highlighted in red, green and yellow:

First, the red. It's like this strange bar-like thing stretching across the middle of the side. Don't think any McLaren has got anything like that in their design language.
Secondly, the green. It looks like the "upper" part of the side under the window is somewhat "square" yet smooth, and the rear doesn't seem to have a tail light stretching itself to the rear wheelarch. The Daytona SP3 fits the description of the former but not the later.
Thirdly, the yellow. The rear quarter window... I'm not sure if it stretches further backward or if it loops itself back in a nice bezier curve fashion, though naturally the poor resolution of the image doesn't help. In any case, 765LT does the former, GT Black Series the latter.
TLDR; I don't know what car it could be. It could be a car already existing in the game, it could be a car that isn't in Forza yet (even if this one is potentially implausable). Still fun pondering the question/mystery though.

How does one do a Midnight Battle?

Go to your local pub at midnight and call the person at the bar something offensive. Guaranteed to work 👍

it's definitely a Jesko, the mirror and fenders are identical, it could be the Absolut version, but I think it's the normal one, because it seems to have an aerofolio

Since this is Forza Horizon 3 week, I'm wondering how many folks still have one of these...

Never had one of these. Never had any FH merchandise although I did try to get the FH5 controller but I wasn't successful.

This was a preorder bonus for FH3, but I don't remember if it was only for the super-duper premium version, or if any preorder got the model. I think the only other FH merchandise I have is a t-shirt that I won at PAX West in 2018 by winning a FH4 race - where I was just happy to play the demo a couple weeks before the game released.

I did manage to get the FH5 controller. It arrived with a broken d-pad, and then UPS lost it when I tried to send it to Microsoft. So now I've spent a bunch of money on some in-game cosmetics I didn't need, basically.
