The three new cars can also be viewed in the Photo Promotion menu - filter not owned/photo’d.

The latest update appears to have fixed the recent bugs.

I’ve just been in the game, done a couple of events and taken photos of the 3 new cars. Everything seems to be working perfectly (on a console).

Looks like a truck of some kind…

2020 Raptor?

Interesting. Tamo Racemo, but for the new Raptor? It certainly isn’t the Shelby Raptor, no matter how much I want it back.

This update has a truck feel to it so as far as I can tell.

Here is what I am reckoning for Forben Friday

  1. GMC Syclone. Why: The Cow has been scooped up by a Tornado, a US Centric Term for a Tornado is a Cyclone… Or Syclone!

  2. Fiat 8V Ghia Supersonic. Why: the Eurofighter Typhoon is a “Supersonic” Aircraft.

  3. Hennessey Velociraptor 6X6 . Why: The Clip used for the Gif is one of the more Famous Scenes from Jurassic Park to Feature their rather… Scientifically Inaccurate… Portrayal of the Velociraptor.

  4. AMC Pacer X. Why: Wayne’s World. The Mirthmobile. The Car that turned the Pacer from Lemon to Cult Classic in One Night!

We have the Racemo already.
Forben Friday seems to have.a Pacer from FH3, a new Raptor running board per link above, maybe a Big Block, or agree Shelby Raptor would slay. Maybe a Syclone from FH3, fighter plane no clue until I see the plane

Yeah I’m talking about how they introduced it. I’m pretty sure it was put into FH3 right after it debuted at some car show.

I think it’s the Hennessey Velociraptor that was leaked a year ago. The AMC Pacer X and the GMC Syphon are also good guesses since both featured in FH3. Also the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (also leaked) seems to fit the clues. Will see soon.

Hopefully not the 6x6 version

I’m not good at guessing games. Those are just my thoughts on some Tweets, I do however see a lot of 6x6 suggestions. Maybe the leaked one was the 6x6?

The jet suggests the Raesr Tachyon

Watch they bring the Syclone back and then go way back and add the Typhoon from FM4. That’d be something.

I’m just gonna give myself a +1 for being correct for the first time ever.

The jet is a Eurofighter Typhoon.
Raptor is most likely the 6x6

The Backstage Pass seems like a good idea.
Now it’s important that the opportunity to get one is made available on a regular basis, and that it’s not made so difficult that it’s only available to so-called “hardcore” players, and that the past exclusive car lineup available with the backstage pass is good.
I hope PG runs a good operation, as I think this system will help newbie players and others.

It’s a wasted opportunity. they could have had a Vinyl show in there.

Exactly the same I was thinking. When they started talking about it I thought: finally… and then it hit me. Such a shame…

I like the Hang type Activation fix better.
Hope it actually works, so people can finally play the game they bought.
