I have to say, the fully tuned out Aston Martin Vulcan is a serious machine!! Won it on a wheelspin a couple nights ago, the handling at high speed is insanely good.
Nice! I've been tempted to buy and tune up an AM at some point. Went out with my mate in his Vanquish S the other night and now I want an AM in real life haha.

Current Forza whip is Lotus Exige S tuned up to S1 – so fun!

fk sake I missed the TVR Tuscan, and there's not a single one on the Auction House rolleyes

So that's a TVR, DS3 Racing and 812 SuperFast..

It does peeve me a little that the Car Pass has had a fair few pretty boring / ste cars in it, and some really cool ones like those above have been limited time prizes that inevitability never turn up again..

Can win the 300ZX this week, although oddly it can't be fitted with race suspension

Yep, got the 300ZX, makes a nice casual drift car - I upgraded the stock engine plus all the chassis etc, drives pretty well

Can you not just buy the car pass and get them all?

I just want the Aventador SV. Impossible to get one on the auction house, everytime one pops up it goes quicker than i can get the AH listing to load, or they're 20mil.

I did get the 812, I didn't realise it was so rare. Played with it for 5 mins then sold it on the auction house in about 10 seconds for a few mil. Just got a TDF and put AWD on it to make it a rocket ship.

Just wish we could get Toyota back in the game so we can have some 2JZ goodness back and of course a trueno. Got quite bored of Forza now though, can only manage about 20-30mins on it before i switch it off through boredom. If i play it any longer I just go to the airstrip / gymkhana looking place in a maxxed out FE BMW M6 and mine a load of XP. Managed to get it down to about 2 runs up and down before I get the max 10 skill points. Do that for an hour, buy loads of the old 911's and then use the skill points to get the 300k bonus, so 150K profit per car. It's boring but i am trying to save up for the Edinburgh castle!

I have the Car Pass, but that doesn't give you the cars that are released for a limited time as Forzathon / Seasonal prizes. I mean I understand that some cars are there to be won, but it still feels like a bit of a slap in the face when some of the paid-for Car Pass cars are a bit dull in comparison..

I got one super early in the game as a Wheelspin prize, it's crazy how rare / expensive they are.

I really wish they had a way to sell cars privately or gift / trade them privately. I'm sure there are people on here, and definitely on the Forza Subreddit, that would like to trade super rare cars between friends, every just temporarily, but the only way currently is to do auction it at a specific time and hope they can snag it quickly enough, which is hugely risky and unreliable...

Yep, some of the cars in the Auction House make no sense..

You can buy the F12 TdF for cr500k(?), or the 993 GT2, LaFerrari and other super-rare cars straight away if one desires and has the coin, but you can't simply buy an 812 or Aventador SV(?!)

The developers should've re-adjusted this more in line with the real world

Apparently people use bots on the PC version so they can snap up the rare cars the second they appear

Is the black cab still in the wheelspin now that it's the prize for all the stars on the second taxi business?

Had a mammoth session on this yesterday, while waiting in for a sofa that never showed up. Got the Tuscan, completed the rentals, got enough Forzathon points to get the Mugen CRX and re-modified a few cars.

There’s an achievement on fortune island that needs a fast peel.

Haha, I know what you mean.

I got impatient last night for coin... So did three 10-lap motorway races back-to-back, bought & sold a few 930 Turbos for the cr300k mastery skill point and finally bought Edinburgh Castle - bit of a disappointment. I was expecting it to open up a bit like Bamburgh Castle - *spoiler alert*: it literally does nothing.

The 10 super-wheelspins netted me about 400k in return - boooo. But at least I have that Alfa P3 to flog off in the auction house.

I'm trying a new challenge - reduce your collection to under 50 cars - it's harder than you think if you're greedy like me biggrin

Tonight I have mostly been bombing around the beach to get the 100+ skill points needed to unlock the Regalia monster truck version from the standard Regalia's car mastery grid. Mission accomplished, and yes it's massive hehe

The 812 and DS3 aren't part of the car pass, they are Forzathon cars I think. I've missed out too, only got the game recently...You can download any car pass cars separately. The Tuscan is part of the car pass, so should be available to download without much faff.

https://forza.fandom.com/wiki/Forza_Horizon_4/Car_...

I'm enjoying the game, but really wish they would fk off with this Forzathon challenge/points scheme. A lot of the challenges are such a chore to do and barely reward any points in the first place, assuming they actually register in the first place.

Take the XJ220 from last week, superb car, I love mine, I've gone for race car/Le Mans style look and tuned it for road racing. What do they want us to do? fking dirt stages because it has some link to the Metro 6R4....

If you do the hourly Forzathon live events you can build up points quite quickly. I found the XJ220 surprisingly effective off road, the bigger and heavier cars are certainly more suited to it.

I think that's the new Griffith you're thinking of. Tuscan was only available as a Forzathon seasonal championship prize. You're not missing anything, it's just a re-hash of the ones from previous FM games, so as with all the other 6-cyl TVRs, it sounds nothing like a real one frown

Ah right.

Must admit I have an 812 but cant remember where from. Think i won it in a Wheelspin months ago..

Must admit I did the house/superwheelspin glitch and got to $13m and 550 cars months ago and just couldn't be arsed with the grind of points/comps so just or at about driving random, tuning and going for a drive. Much more enjoyable and otherwise it's just a chore.
