I wouldn’t be surprised if the OP is in fact right.
I imported a few liveries from FH4 in readiness for unreleased vehicles in FH5 and not expecting to see any downloads until they are released officially.
Two of the six or so imported liveries are for vehicles that can only be redeemed after earning 45 points in Autumn and then Winter of Series 3.
Both vehicles liveries have already had downloads, with one having 4 and the other having 2.
One the liveries is for the prize car for getting 200 Series Points and even that has at least one download.
This is not simply getting the cars early, but they must have played all the seasons already, in order to own the cars in question.
In fact all of the liveries I’ve imported for unreleased vehicles have at least 1 download, with one having 11 the last time I looked and that’s the 120 points Series 3 prize car.
Which Celica exactly are we getting, SS-I or SS-II? I did some research and based on the performance it’s an SS-II, not SS-I.
Also, the bodykit doesn’t really correct, because if it’s a right hand drive JDM model, the Mechanical Sports package should be, but it looks a bit different. In principle, what comes in the game is the North American market Action Package body kit.
The Japanese Mechanical Sports version with the little extra wing on the hood, and the North American Action Package on the second picture.
According to my research the look and the naming of the car is a bit messy, I’m a bit confused about which version is coming to the game exactly.
I think it’s a JDM SS-II with a badly modelled bodykit, but please correct me if I’m wrong.
Edit, this is what comes into the game, called SS-I, with almost 190 horsepower. (The image is not my own, it’s from Reddit, based on a Google search)
General mistakes of this car in game are:
specs like JDM SS-II, but calls SS-I
interior is gray like early cars 00-02, after restyling in 03 interior is black
tachometr in 8000 rpm like SS-I with 1ZZ-FE engine, 2ZZ-GE (190 hp only in this engine) have redline at 8200 and tachometr must be 9000 rpm (font is correct)
correct dashboard below
P.S. extra wings was one of options for japanese market, many cars has arrived from Japan to my country without it or with stock spoiler instead TRD, so it not mistake. Wrong in TRD body kit is form of turn signals its are for US market, JDM is different and looks like that
.
P.S.S. Turn 10 really thank you for that car in game, but please fix it, and remove Toyota logo from aftermarket front bumpers - its looks really strange.
Yes please remove the Toyota logo from aftermarket bumpers as you can’t even put them in the right place on some ( if you pasting it from previous forzas )
Celica SS-I is one of the vehicles on the 1000-point accolade list for Evolving World. All of those vehicles should be available in January as either series/seasonal prizes or Forzathon shop items.
