neil3646 spotted the next unicorn car added to the game via content update:
1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III appears in the search filters for Gallery and multiplayer customization but isn’t listed in the Buy Cars menu. In the multiplayer filter its shorthand name is Ford Falcon XY.
Brings me to the question, what is now with the Nissa Silvia '66? Will it find the way also into the “BuyMe”-Menu?
To date, unicorn cars in Forza games have not become non-unicorn cars. The Silvia and three other unicorns were offered as prizes in Photocomp 41 and that week’s Livery contest. The other unicorns weren’t offered so I would expect that this and other unicorns will be part of a future contest, maybe the Forza Racing Championship later in the summer.
Though the Nissan Silvia '66 is not only in hands of people who compete that PhotoContest. So it’s not really an unicorn now, and there was a chance to buy that car in career mode (May caused by a bug), so in my opinion it should get openend for everyone.
An extra thing to note, unlike the RS1600 and California, you can’t force the AIs to drive the Falcon in multiplayer.
The drivatars in multiplayer cannot use this unicorn car at all much like a most of the other unicorns so there is no way to get any photos of the car as well as it’s class. It means that FM6 now has 7 unicorns to collect and that 3 of them have yet to get into anyone’s hands. We’ll see when Turn 10 does an event for this as well as the previous two unicorns.
Actually, there’s 8 unicorns now:
Ford Escort RS1600
Ferrari California
Ford Falcon XY GTHO
Nissan Silvia
Ferrari 312P
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Lamborghini Huracan ST
Dodge Charger FnF
Since we can’t get any in-game photos of the unicorn, I did a quick search of the interwebs to see what this car looks like.
The Fast & Furious Charger was a code car, like other promotional codes. Those differ from unicorns in that unicorns can only be obtained as a gift.
That’s not entirely true, other promotional cars were always a copy/paste of an existing car in the game but with a new livery and a separate name (e.g. base MX-5 got the MX-5 Pringles Edition added, base Ford GT got the Ford GT NutriGrain Edition added). The FnF Charger is unique in that aspect that there is no base model that is already in the game nor is the car called Dodge Charger XBox Video Edition or something. I know it’s technically not a unicorn in that aspect that it was never part of a competition, but neither was the 1966 Silvia (until that photo/paint event recently).
So I do consider the FnF Charger as a unicorn as well since it is a unique car after all.
The difference isn’t in uniqueness - the Chryslus and Ford GTLM were code cars - the difference is that once you have a code you can buy duplicates from the Buy Cars menu. You can’t do that with unicorns.
Christmas in July!!!
While it’s nice that we’ll have another unicorn to go for, it’s anyone’s guess as to when Turn 10 will hold an event for the Falcon XY, the other unicorn Ford, or the 2008 Ferrari California given that they said absolutely nothing regarding those three unicorns. In any case, it’s nice to see that car added in once some are handed out to us.
As far as I know, the previous appearances of these unicorns are as follows:
1966 Nissan Silva: New to Forza Motorsport
1971 Ferrari 312 P: Was a DLC vehicle in FM4 and FM5
1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage: Was in FM4
2015 Lamborghini Huracan ST: New to Forza Motorsport
2008 Ferrari California: Was in FM3, FM4, and FM5
1973 Ford Escort RS1600: New to Forza Motorsport
1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III: New to Forza Motorsport
The choice of unicorns for FM6 are interesting given that some of the cars are completely new to the series(the RS1600 Fast and Furious edition is a DLC car, stock model is new) while the others have been in previous games with the California and V8 vantage being base game cars while the 312 P being a DLC car for the previous 2 FM games. Most of the FM6 unicorns are unique in that there isn’t a similar package of them except for the Ford Falcon XY which has the 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT as a similar model to the unicorn in question. If the performance class holds up, I’ll be willing to bet that the Ford Falcon XY is in D class and can compete in Historic American Muscle in career mode.
Wow well Turn 10 have pulled a clanger here.
A friend was excited to see this car in the FH3 list and had hoped it would be added with the car pack and they would have bought the car pack if this car was in it.
They will not buy the car pack now as they do not like the cars in the pack.
I won’t either.
Sick of cars that are wanted being unicorns.
EDIT: just to expand on this I have Forza friends who do not come to the forums. They are racers not painters and not photographers. Their expectation is that if content is added to the game they choose whether to buy it or not. Just think about this for a second for the majority of players who do not come to the forums - their expectations on game content would be different than the forumites. I really think Turn 10 should rethink the unicorn idea or drop it altogether since most players are not on these forums.
Completely agree. Getting sick of these unicorns being requested cars that really should just be added into the base game, or even in a car pack, at least that way everyone who wants the car can get it without having to jump through hoops.
Of course, we have no evidence that this car will not be a unicorn in FH3, or whether or not unicorn’s will be present in FH3. The “rare cars” button I caught a glimpse of, on one of the youtube videos showing the FH3 menus, has me curious about this car and others.
Either way, it has my interest. Despite being a Canadian, I’m still fascinated with a lot of the Aussie muscle showing up in Forza. I give thanks to movies like Mad Max for that.
As an GTHO fan residing in local.au, I’ll be quite grumpy if there isn’t a reasonable way to gather this iconic car.
As a Holden fan I’ll be very disappointed if I can’t get this car. It’s easily the greatest car ever made in Australia. Just give me the E49 Charger and I’ll have my holy trinity of it, the A9X and GTHO. Can’t wait for FH3 as there’s a good chance of seeing some Mopar muscle in that.
I’ve been asking for this car for some time , even did a livery on the XB that was similar to the GTHO. Would be a cruel joke if I wasn’t able to obtain it 
Also an Aussie, I’ve been screaming out for more local cars. The GTHO is the obvious choice, but how about Holden’s VS GTSR, Mitsubishi Scorpion, Magna (could put the ralliart kit on),Ford EL GT, or any Bolwell.
