Forza Horizon 4 News

Winter has arrived in Forza Horizon 4 as snow covers the countryside roads and landscapes of beautiful, historic Britain. 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 to experience the 2006 Koenigsegg CCX, which produces over 800 horsepower through the company’s own 4.7-liter supercharged V8 and bears the name of the Swedish manufacturer’s founder, Christian von Koenigsegg. With a carbon-fibre body that combines a sleek, clean Scandinavian design devoid of unsightly spoilers, the CCX is truly a wonder to behold and can be yours to drive in Forza Horizon 4.

It’s a battle of the brands in the Weekly Forzathon Challenge. As top contenders in the German executive saloon car market, choose between either the 2005 BMW 3 or the 2006 Audi RS4.

That’s it for the cold Winter season here in Britain. Next week, the freshness of Spring kicks as we move into the last week of Series 75. Share your thoughts and meet like-minded players on the Forza Forums and we’ll see you at the Horizon Festival!

Autumn arrives in beautiful, historic Britain as the trees begin to shift in color and their falling, brown-tinted leaves scatter the roadsides. Though we don’t expect them to remain there for long once Festival drivers zoom by in their spectacular 2019 Bugatti Divo, an AWD track-focused hypercar capable of 236mph.

While the Divo sacrifices the Chiron’s immense top speed of 248mph, it instead produces 198 lbs. of additional downforce over its predecessor and features a prominent rear wing. These investments in improved driving dynamics result in increased handling, braking, and agility. While only 40 were built and immediately sold out in the real world, this week is your chance to add the Divo to your Forza Horizon 4 garage.



The all-wheel drive Divo, with its distinctive looks and 8-liter quad-turbocharged engine capable of 1479-horsepower, can be unlocked on the Festival Playlist before Thursday, June 13:

· 80% Completion: 2019 Bugatti Divo

Fitted with a “400 Ram Air II” engine, the rear-wheel drive 1968 Pontiac Firebird marked Pontiac’s entry into the pony car market. It’s capable of producing 335 horsepower, while its body and structure was largely like the Camaro with clean, classy lines and only a cold-air-breathing head scoop to indicate that this car will fly down any drag strip.



This week’s [b[Photo Challenge invites you to capture an image of your car with two other Players or Drivatars in front of the Festival Mainstage. The Weekly Forzathon Challenge spotlights an intimidating competitor in the 2013 MINI X-Raid All4 Racing Countryman, specifically designed to beat its rivals in the Dakar Rally.

Team up with other players and form a formidable team to take on Unbeatable Drivatars in The Trial. Choose any of the legendary Holy Trinity cars – the 2013 McLaren P1, the 2013 Ferrari LaFerrari, or the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, and lead your team to victory to step into the future of driving with the 2019 Rimac Concept Two. As the world's most powerful hypercar, the four liquid-cooled magnet synchronous motors of the 1,914-horsepower Croatian built all-electric machine results in astonishing all-wheel drive performance with acceleration of 0-60mph in 1.85 seconds and 0-186mph speeds in 11.8 seconds.
