The first Monday I’ve looked forward to in quite some time!

So excited for 10 versions of the same car, but with a different livery.

Presumably these will be offered as 10 separate OEM colors on one car.
This is because Hummer Extreme E inherently has a cowl that is unique to this machine. But in the picture posted in this thread, this machine has the same cowl as the others.

Simplification of these race car variants has been long sought by Motorsport players.
However, it does seem a bit lazy to use a color variant even for a model with a specially designed body like the Hummer Extreme E…

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been wanting both Motorsport and Horizon to simply this issue with actual race vehicles for a long time too, but I definitely don’t have confidence that Playground (and later Turn 10) are actually going to do this. Otherwise the identical in-performance RTR drift Mustangs won’t have been a thing at launch.

Tune in now!

They really did 10 different cars for basically a livery swap. C’mon, there has to be a more elegant way.
Also, can’t wait to see this EV get destroyed by the world-famous Rallye legends Bone Shaker and Maserati 8CTF.

EV fans got screwed, and I am all for that. The rest of the cars being ICEs is just icing on the cake. Thank you, Playground. For once, you did something correctly. You should’ve added the Emory Motorsports RSR over the 356 C Special though. Just saying.

Pretty disappointing that the Hot Wheels festival playlist content is just a single PR stunt and seasonal championship.

I was hoping for a Trials like event like the FH4 expansions had. We need more challenging content since the regular Trials is a joke now.

Hey, it gives us poor schmucks who don’t/can’t play online more points to get the second prize each week this month, so I ain’t complaining there.

That’s a valid point but they could have at least added more than just two events. Like two PR stunts and two seasonal championships would have made it more convenient for offline players to get the 40 point playlist reward each week.

14

Yeeeah…I wouldn’t be so eager to congratulate them. Aside from the variant nonsense, the Porsches they chose feel like an afterthought, tacked on as if someone realized what they were doing and how badly their stupid “player engagement” numbers would tank if they just did the Extreme E stuff. So, throw in a bunch of cars that have been in games prior and call them new. Meanwhile, cars like the C8 Corvette Z06 and AMG-GT Black Series go ignored yet again.

It’s really getting tiresome from this group.

16

Not everyone played FH4 and some of those cars were rare in that game.

17

So put them in the Autoshow. Really, that’s where all of these cars should be anyway. They’re drip-feeding us base-game content and pretending like it’s something new, and doing everything they can to ignore genuinely new cars until they absolutely can’t anymore. That’s wrong.

Well, they can’t really add the Z06 yet, because even journalists haven’t been able to drive that yet.

19

The games not just about people that religiously played every FH game. This will be the first time many players get to experience these cars and if you liked those cars in the previous games than I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want them in the newest game.

There’s plenty of new to Forza cars coming in the expansion as well.

That didn’t stop them from getting to the Ford GT or SRT (Dodge) Viper first. It’s all a matter of will, and Playground Games seems to not give much of a flip on that account lately.

21

Like the STi Rally Car that they stripped the livery from and started calling a “supercar”? That kind of “new to Forza”?

Schuppan Porsche 962CR. Also seen a Mitsubishi FTO scan…

Cool new additions in my opinion.
