Forza Horizon 4 News

Snow is falling all around Britain as the Winter season arrives in Forza Horizon 4. Get ready for new holiday themed events, challenges and rewards, including the return of the 2018 Renault Megane R.S.

The Megane R.S. line of hot hatches continues to get better. The 2018 rendition of the fourth-generation Megane serves an endless amount of front-wheel-drive powered fun with the chassis and suspension stability ensuring those 275 horses from the 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder are always put to good use – no matter the driving surface.

Get your 2018 Renault Megane R.S in Forza Horizon 4 this week by earning 50% Completion on the Festival Playlist.



This week, Britain is beautifully transformed into a Winter Wonderland. Be cautious of those slippery icy roads – we recommend fitting snow tires to be safe – and don’t forget to stop by the frozen-up Derwent Water, which gives drivers a chilly playground to explore. You might even stumble upon a hidden Barn Find and a unique Drag Race.

Once you’ve put on some Winter clothes and upgraded your cars for the weather conditions, get ready for this week’s seasonal events, available in Horizon Britain through Thursday, December 8: 

• 50% Completion: Horizon Backstage Pass
  
• 80% Completion: 2018 Renault Megane R.S

Remember that each week of Series 55 allows you to unlock a Horizon Backstage Pass, which can be traded in to redeem a previously released exclusive car.

This week’s Photo Challenge invites you to capture any Extreme Offroad Car at the Express North Rail Yard. Don’t forget your train fare! Meanwhile, the Weekly Forzathon Challenge is all about Modern Rally! Which one will you choose to hit the dirt?



The Trial celebrates the upcoming New Year festivities with the 1951 Porsche #46 356 SL Gmünd Coupe up for grabs for those who team up and overtake the Unbeatable Drivatars!

The 2016 Hoonigan Gymkhana 9 Ford Focus RS RX is a complimentary reward for participating in the Winter Games.

Seasonal PR Stunts feature a trio of Super Wheelspins. Break new records at the Northbound Danger Sign, the Aerodrome Speed Trap and the Lakeshore Speed Zone.

This week in Forza Horizon 4 is a festive surprise with new holiday themed unlocks and your chance to score the 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185 for your garage, an all-wheel drive turbocharged edition of the iconic Toyota Celica that made headlines in the World Rally Championship of the 1990s.

Carlos Sainz led it to victory in the 1992 WRC and Toyota even secured the manufacturer titles in ’93 and ’94.

The 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four is yours to unlock in Forza Horizon 4 by completing the “Rally Around the Christmas Tree” Seasonal Championship.
