Hereby I present to you the third (and last… probably) list of cars that were included in earlier Forza games and could return in Forza Horizon 5 (two other lists can be found here and here).
This time I explored the X360 era of Forza, i.e. the list contains cars from Forza Motorsport 3-4 and Forza Horizon 1 that haven’t shown up in any game released afterward (only road-legal models - with one exception). That was one hell of a trip down memory lane
I’ve ignored Forza Motorsport 1-2, as car models in those games are of really poor quality and they don’t have cockpits… I know there are many people here who’d say the same about the quality of cars in FM3-4 and FH1 but I think models in these games are detailed enough at least to serve as a base to prepare “remasters” for a modern game and save developers a significant amount of time
Please note there are numerous cars that we currently have in modernized and/or more potent variants, and in some cases vote count may be unreliable, as one thread in the Suggestions Hub can apply to more than one car featured in the whole Forza series, e.g. the big Audi R8 Type 42 and Porsche 911 997 families. Question marks by the number highlight such questionable results (more on that under the table).
Additional notes:
- I’ve excluded models from Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, and Tesla, i.e. brands whose absence is caused by licensing issues and voting have no effect on their presence in the game (probably). Should I do the same with Saab?
- There are numerous instances of cars that were replaced in newer games with very similar variants so bringing back these old ones may seem unnecessary (e.g. 2000 Honda Prelude SiR replaced with 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH). However, after receiving feedback on list’s consistency I’ve decided to include every single model on the list. Please let me know if I’ve missed any car
