I also remember hearing a Venturi Atlantique being scanned 4 years ago, although till today, the car was never added in the Forza franchise. For sure, licensing will take a lot of time, especially if a marque like Venturi is probably out of business.

It's even more notable when you factor in the fact that the Barracuda technically isn't new to Forza -- it just hasn't been in a game since Forza Motorsport 4.Now that the final update of 2022 is out, here is an overview of all the new-to-Forza cars that have been added to the game in 2022 without being part of the car pass or the Hot Wheels expansion. In other words, all the free new-to-Forza cars in 2022. Some remarks :
- I sorted them from old to new (year)
- I only added 1 Extreme E car since I couldn’t care less about the 9 other copy/paste versions.
What is by far my biggest disappointment with this list (and the game post release) is that there are barely any vintage, classic or retro cars, let’s say anything before the year 2000. In fact, there is only one (read: ONE!) car older than 2013 that was a new-to-Forza free car this year, the Plymouth Barracuda Formula-S. That… is… it.
Now I’m not going hate adding new 2018+ cars to the game and I’ll be the first to vouch for Audi and BMW who really needed some of their latest lineup urgently added to the game, which has happened. But the balance between adding new-to-Forza cars has never been this one-sided in any Forza game since FM5 for as far as I can remember… 😔

Have fun dude see you on the other side in 12 parsecs .......It's been fun guys, but Lego Star Wars is now on Gamepass so, see you next year 😀
Actually I need a break from the game anyway as I was getting burned out by the weekly events etc, and it was losing its fun factor. Noticed as soon as i started something else I was much more fun filled again.
When the second DLC does drop, come back to FH5 I may do 😉

You ain't the only one who's burned out by the weekly events. I found my share of fun-filled game-time with ATS and ETS2, hence why my recent avatars have been the two games' licensed cornucopia of trucks.Actually I need a break from the game anyway as I was getting burned out by the weekly events etc, and it was losing its fun factor.

It could also be that while they bought the company's IP and assets, they don't actually have the rights to those older cars. From what I understand* "trade dress" can apply on a car-by-car basis as it covers the car's basic shape and design, and it's possible some other company owns that or the current holder of Venturi's IP just didn't want to pay the cost for it, since they have no interest in continuing production with that particular body style.Venturi still exists! But the company was bought in 2000 by a Monaco-based individual and the new owner wanted to focus day-one on EVs, they haven't produced any new ICE-powered cars since that I know of. They are so committed to EVs, Venturi was the first automaker to participate in Formula E - since before the first grand prix, even. One thing I can't help but notice is their website acts like the company's history starts in 2000. There is no mention of their classic cars like the Atlantique.
I don't want to say anything definitively but I have the distinct impression Venturi's current management doesn't particularly care about its pre-2000 heritage or its classic cars, and that it might have something to do with the Atlantique not featuring in Forza. ...Or any game since GT2, now that I think about it.
Looking at pictures online, i think it's in strada mode, hence why its white. But still missing some texturesNew Sian roadster the gauges of speedometer are not the same as real life..View attachment 1213952View attachment 1213953
Yes, the Sian Image in cluster is missing and strada writing is missing too pluss the redshifting animation in gaugeLooking at pictures online, i think it's in strada mode, hence why its white. But still missing some textures
Did u find other things in the files?!After this new update i found strings for Horizon Drift Club Mexico part 2. Strangely it seems there is only one chapter.
The story seems to be about drifting the 599 Fiorano FD on narrow road while being photographed by a helicopter.
I'm starting to think the car was rushed. Also, is it just me or do they tend to reuse the same few fonts rather than using the same typeface for each modern Lambo? Not having hybrid display or the 'corsa' display shows signs of laziness.Yes, the Sian Image in cluster is missing and strada writing is missing too pluss the redshifting animation in gauge
I don't think it'd be impossible for the Atlantique to be added. If PG is willing to put up the money to get one of their cars in a game I don't see any reason why they'd turn it down.I don't want to say anything definitively but I have the distinct impression Venturi's current management doesn't particularly care about its pre-2000 heritage or its classic cars, and that it might have something to do with the Atlantique not featuring in Forza. ...Or any game since GT2, now that I think about it.
True!!I think they rushed with sian .. thats why we got the roadster and not the coupe!!I'm starting to think the car was rushed.

It wouldn't hurt to allocate some funds towards new typefaces, but that's just me.
Because it's not in Corsa mode. It's most likely in Strada.I'm starting to think the car was rushed. Also, is it just me or do they tend to reuse the same few fonts rather than using the same typeface for each modern Lambo? Not having hybrid display or the 'corsa' display shows signs of laziness.

There's a certain irony about modern games and how photorealistic they've become when someone complains about "missing" stuff that 99% of the playerbase won't even notice... this used to be the most realistic thing when I was a kid, you'd get bugs on your windshield and the wipers worked!I'm starting to think the car was rushed.

The sian in the real life dosnt support roof!!Since it's a roadster, I hope we get a chance to put the roof on and off in the Sian, like in the 918 Spyder and Zonda Cinque, cause otherwise what is the point of the roadster...
Oh, I see, interesting. Well that's a shame, I much more prefer coupe models, so that fact I won't even be able to recreate the coupe by adding the roof is a bit disappointing, but I'm still excited for the car, so we'll see.The sian in the real life dosnt support roof!!
