[UPDATE: I’ve added the second part of analysis to the thread: the list of ca. 750 cars from FM7 and FM6 with predictions about their chances to return in the new Forza Motorsport]
We already know that Forza Motorsport launches with over 500 cars and over 100 of them are not models returning from FM7 or older games in the series (but they can come from Forza Horizon).
Based on 104 cars already confirmed for the new Forza Motorsport (including 32 new-to-Motorsport models), we have some basis to speculate a bit on what cars from FM7, FH5 and FH4 are likely to be featured as well.
Let’s assume that Turn 10 figures out the licensing deal with Stellantis until Forza Motorsport launches and Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia will be present in the game (there is always hope!).
I’ve excluded cars already confirmed to be available in Forza Motorsport (71 returning from FM7, 1 returning from FM6, 16 borrowed from FH4/FH5 and 16 #NewToForza)

Notes
- Hot hatches and high performance SUVs seem very likely to be included in the game but I’m treating them with caution (i.e. marking as “highly probable” only three of the most obvious models) until at least one such car isn’t officially confirmed.
- I’ve put some rally cars (like Ford GT70) on the list only because Peugeot 205 T16 is among confirmed cars. I assume Turn 10 is going to include at least other homologation rally models from the 80s to form a competition between them. And if 80s then maybe also 70s and 90s?
- I’ve excluded all off-roaders, rallycross cars, trophy trucks, buggies etc., as well as other cars that don’t fit race tracks, e.g. 1991 Bentley Turbo R, 1968 Renault 4L or 2013 Wuling Sunshine.
That’s another 85 candidates to be borrowed from Forza Horizon. Some of these cars are more likely, others less. However, all of them don’t seem to be “must-have” from day one for a game focused on modern performance road-legal and racing cars.
Anyway, it gives us 145 cars in total - many more than Turn 10 promised to include in the game at launch. Does it mean we should expect all remaining “new-to-Motorsport” cars to be taken from Forza Horizon? I don’t think so.
There are still some “obvious” #NewToForza modern racing cars to be confirmed, such as Ferrari 488 GT3, McLaren 720S GT3 or Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 992. I’d also expect more than three TCR models to be included. And let us not forget that hundreds of cars are expected to be added after launch in “live service”, so Turn 10 is probably preparing some reserves of easy obtainable models (taken from FM7 or Forza Horizon) to be added each month (similar to how FH5 operates).
Do you agree with my predictions? I’d like to know what you think
