I think it fits Forza Horizon better… unless you’re planning to add hill climb routes to Forza Motorsport :wink:

You know? That car may be suitable for the Mexican mainland, full of challenging trails and off road madness. This Pikes Peak Special deserves my vote, for it’s incredible performance

One little inconvenient: I think this car was also in almost every entry in Gran Turismo since the second release in 1998-99.

Will Polyphony be allright if we get this car into the game?

Debuted in 1995, the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Hillclimb (otherwise known as Pikes Peak Special), is a monstrous machine powered by a custom 24 Valves, 2,5L H20A V6, capable of almost generating 1000CV at 8100 rpm.

A totally hybrid six speed transmission is tied to the drivetrain, making the car reach almost 350 km/h, or even more.

This car got 1st place in 1996, podiums from 1997 to 2000… and it’s last race in 2001 with not good results.

It’s first appearance was in Gran Turismo 2

Which discipline should this car be?
Rally Monster or Extreme Track Toy?

I mean… it’s insanely fast, both in asphalt and dirt. True techical machine… Maybe S2 class?

Extreme Track Toy is where it would be most versatile I think.

Only Rally Monsters which are somewhat close is the Audi Quattro S1 and Hoonigan RS200.

This has way more power than the Audi and way more downforce than the Hoonigan.

Very interesting dilemma though and I could see it being in either class, would definitely need some Hillclimbing company in Rally Monsters though like Rod Miller’s Tacoma.

I don’t want to go overboard with my interest like I did with the Yamasa Raggio, but ea! This car got my vote.

Now I wonder how many people will be interested in this one?

I think the hillclimbing company behind this Escudo was Monster Sport, which made the Hill Climb models for the Grand Vitara and the SX4

I imagine quite a lot, it’s a fairly iconic car thanks to Gran Turismo and the Votes for this car to feature in FM are up to 157.

Horizon has more players so I expect it to climb fairly decently.

15

Yup, they’ve been very involved in Hillclimb and just Suzuki in general.

16

Yeah. It’s very likely (unlike the Raggio… which it was locked due to our overwhelming interest)

We should have a hillclimb cartype in fh5 n a lot of hillclimb cars along with formula 1,prototype cartypes n so on…we need to have a balance…50% production cars,50% race cars…

18

Interesting idea… :o

I mean… there are race cars, BTTB and some performance cars
And since there are racetracks in EventLab… maybe it can be an interesting feat

19

Those r not enough at all…we need more…

Yeah! I agree with you
