This issue has persisted since the first Forza Motorsport on the original Xbox. The R34 Skyline, together with around 50 other cars currently in Horizon 5, uses a deformed and low quality model taken straight from the first Forza Motorsport and just visually upgraded to look more on par with Xbox One models, but nothing was done about the body shape which is painfully wrong.
The front end of this car is very out of proportion, being both too small and having wrong shapes of everything. The headlights are closer to those of an Opel Astra from the same model year. The side line is inaccurate too, the roof is supposed to be more rounded, same with the side windows. Mirrors are completely wrong. The rear end is too narrow. The factory wheels are completely inaccurate, not being concave at all. Every part of the car has weird pre-shadowing artifacts. Every body kit the car currently has is also modeled wrong thanks to other inaccuracies, but the worst by far is the Nismo kit, where the front bumper is squished.
You should not add any new customization to this car until it recieves a new and accurate model.
Aside from the wheels being inaccurate for not being concave enough, its wheel spacing is also inaccurate. In reality, its wheels are narrowed. I also detect that its Steering wheel is too big, looks way oversized.
All they did is nothing but open all of its hinges and give it a detailed engine bay. That way, it’s never gonna solve any modeling issues it had. It is clearly overdue for remodeling already.
Time to show off spot-on Skyline R34 model from GT Sport and 7 here!
Incomplete Abflug and JUN bodykits due to missing parts (did this car ever come with a JUN front bumper?)
No hood options
The Top Secret spoiler isn’t adjustable, nor does it improve rear downforce whatsoever
The car’s stock engine can only be upgraded to 798 hp (it was 928 hp in FM2)
I wish this made it onto the list of cars being remodelled, because by the looks of things we’re going to have this again in FH6. Unless they introduce a different variant of it like the V-Spec II Nür or the Nismo Z-Tune that is scanned.
