700+ Cars (80+ Manufacturers)

How many manufacturers do FM6 and FH3 have combined?

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

So...safe to assume that most DLC cars from FH3 are returning, eh? 👍

 

[Rob192005]

So happy they've re-done career mode,FM6's one sucked,I hope they went back to something like FM4.

PC system requirements and prices

How many manufacturers do FM6 and FH3 have combined?

Forza 6 has 89 manufactures (including all DLCs)
Forza Horizon 3 has Alumi Craft, AMG Transport Dynamics, Baldwin Motorsports, Penhall, Polaris, RJ Anderson, Terradyne which I don't think will be carried over into Forza 7, while
GTA, HDT, International, Lola, Meyers, Sunbeam, Talbot, TAMO and Zenvo should.
So that makes 98 manufactures

Terradyne will probably be back, since it's not part of the Fast & Furious license anymore, plus Trophy Trucks have been confirmed, so it's good to assume that Baldwin and RJ are in.

Sorry if this is common knowledge but I'm still not sure. Dynamic weather is confirmed, but is dynamic time of day as well? Or even the possibility of choosing time of day?

The E3 trailer showed a time shift on one of the tracks, and Dan Greenwalt has confirmed night racing on Twitter. But we have yet to get confirmation that time is dynamic.
