I have had my VIP membership for forza 4 for almost 2 years now and i have never once been gifted a unicorn car, a friend of mine purchased a VIP membership the same time i did and he has been gifted 4 unicorn cars since. I just would like to know why i haven’t gotten a single one?
Did you have Xbox Live Gold as they’re gifted this way and expire if not collected.
Also some previously required you to simply post a lap time in a special rivals events and if you’re banned you get nothing
the cars you get with vip aint unicorn cars there just gifted cars with a paint job
Adding on the the unicorn subject, you can get the cars if you participate in forza events, livery contests, even sometimes when you buy DLC. You don’t just automatically get a unicorn car, you have to earn it from the community.
Well that’s not exactly true. Within the first year of FM4 being out T10 did randomly send out unicorns to VIP. They haven’t done that in a few years though.
I have gold and have had VIP for a long time. i play forza more than my friend who plays and he got randomly sent 3-4 unicorn cars while i never got anything. Im not banned either.
You have to keep in mind that this game is approaching 3 years old. They stopped Rivals a few months back and stopped the ones that actually gave prizes even further back. I’ve had VIP for well over a year and every unicorn I have was obtained via Rivals or FM3 save transfer.
As far as I know, the last (‘unearned’) gift car T10 sent out was in May of 2013 - the SEMA FR-S - which was sent to everyone and not a unicorn. The last unicorn sent to all players was the Ferrari Challenge Stradale in June of 2012.
Here are my notes on gift cars sent to all VIPs exclusively:
2012.12 - Honda Mugen Civic (unicorn) with holiday livery
2012.06 - TVR Cebera with Maple Valley livery
2012.05 - Acura NSX with Alpinestars livery
2012.05 - Nissan Top Secret S15 (unicorn)
2012.04 - Ferrari #89
2012.03 - Bentley Platinum CGT with Veilside livery
2012.01 - Chevy Camaro (unicorn)
2012.01 - Koenigsegg CCGT with Halo livery
2011.12 - Honda Mugen Integra (unicorn) with holiday livery
2011.12 - Shelby Cobra
Other than that, VIPs haven’t been sent any gifts since the end of 2012 and any unicorns a VIP may have received since then would have been the result of earning them through participating in some contest or event. Regardless, backdated gifts won’t be sent out now, so if you want unicorns you’ll have to take advantage of current opportunities (contests and news discussion):

So the only way to receive a unicorn now is through winning a livery contest?
You can also get them by reading the " Rear View Mirror " Thread and posting a response. In these very forums. Very good articles and real easy to do. Plus you get to pick whichever Unicorn you want. Johniwanna is pretty good about getting your cars out to you after that. I have put together an almost complete set of them.
I believe photo contests are also held with prizes including unicorns and in-game credits.
The thread Max provided a link to explains where and how unicorns can currently be obtained. Locking this down now as enquiry is complete.
