1968 Lancia Fulvia Coupé Rallye 1.6 HF

Sophistication and deliberately understated styling are the hallmarks of this highly desirable special version of the Lancia Fulvia. Lancia brought this homologated version — the Fanalone, referencing the Fulvia’s large driving lights—to enable Lancia’s entry into the World Rally Championship. Front-wheel drive and a healthy punch of more than 100 hp gave the Fulvia excellent performance. Sharp steering and excellent braking made it a natural candidate for rally competition. Under the direction of Cesare Fiorio, Lancia came to dominate rally in the late 1960s and early 1970s. You can tell a Rallye edition from its lesser brethren by its fiberglass fender flares and Campagnolo rims. If you look at the dash you will also see an oil temp gauge and adjustable redline on the tachometer. The Fulvia’s light weight gave it an advantage and this special model was further lightened by replacing the back seat with a shelf and installing lightweight bucket seats. Among Lancia Fulvia aficionados, the Rallye 1.6 is the crown jewel.

1993 Renault Clio Williams

Among hot hatches, the Renault Clio Williams holds accreditation by many motor journalists as one of the very best ever built. To accommodate homologation requirements, 2,500 Clio Williams needed to be produced. They were so popular 1,300 more were built and quickly sold out. More is better when it comes to the availability of this little hot hatch and Renault followed with the Williams 2 and 3 getting more than 12,000 models on the road before production finally ceased. Despite these numbers, finding an original street version is a rare thing, since many were used to replace damaged rally cars and others were broken for parts to keep rally versions in competition. The punch this tike packs is from a 2.0-liter straight four, stuffed under the diminutive bonnet with a bespoke four-into-one manifold, a stroked crank and other internal goodies. The Clio Williams is a car that will get a lot of looks from those who know it, and those who don’t will snap their necks when they hear it buzz past them.

1997 Land Rover Defender 90

Few vehicles are built with the ruggedness in mind of the Land Rover Defender. For decades, a Land Rover might have been the only vehicle that some people ever saw. That’s because for decades the Land Rover Series I and Series II were the only vehicles that dared to access the interiors of certain countries whose roads are little more than trails. Over the years not much has changed in the design of the Land Rover. Its mission is simple: devour any terrain thrown at it and keep the occupants reliably safe. The biggest change for the 1997 model was the introduction of the name Defender. Under the chassis, two live axles and full-time four-wheel drive give the Defender rock-crawling, river-fording, and mountain climbing abilities that are unmatched. For 1997, the last year the Defender was available in the U.S., you will find a potent V8 under the hood, accompanied by a four-speed automatic transmission. On the streets the Defender is no sprinter, but toss this Rover in the weeds and it will always come out on top.

2015 Ford Mustang GT

It’s been fifty years since this American automotive icon was introduced and effectively changed the domestic car market. The Mustang has been many things to many people and, through its many evolutions, it has been many things unto itself. Since the introduction of the more classically shaped Mustang in 2005, a rebirth of the Mustang took place. Now, ten years later, with a search for global-viability factoring in to the Mustang’s redesign, we still see the classic form but with some tweaks that distinguish this ‘Stang as something new. Under this new skin nearly every inch of the 2015 Mustang has been reengineered for efficiency, reliability, and performance. Under its aluminum hood, in between aluminum fenders that together offer 200 pounds of weight savings, the new V8 (in GT models) brings more than 400 ponies under the command of your right foot. Rear-wheel drive is a precious commodity the Mustang has always cornered the market with, and the new Mustang is happy as ever to light up the rear wheels, get tail-happy, or just delight you with its tendency for oversteer. Most of all though, this is a Mustang, and the passion that lights in the soul of Mustang lovers is reason enough to make it a favorite.

1984 Honda Civic CRX Mugen

The partnership between Honda and Mugen began with the CRX. It was an inevitable collaboration given that Mugen was formed by Hirotoshi Honda – the son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda – and veteran racer Masao Kimura. The CRX, or CR-X as it is called in Japan, carried an aggressive effort to establish Mugen in the United States. At the time, any Honda dealer could order and sell Mugen parts, and a select few became Mugen Performance Centers. The program only lasted three years, but yielded a handful of uprated Mugen CRXs and many street-tuned Hondas. Dressed in the Mugen body kit, the CRX’s short, stout lines are tastefully enhanced without complicating them. A trademark feature of the Mugen CRX is the twin-pipe muffler or “Silencer Set.” With nearly 120 horsepower, a limited slip differential, and weighing in at a mere 1,800 pounds, the Mugen CRX is a thrill to drive and inspired a new generation of Honda tuners. Mugen has gone on to contribute to Honda’s racing success in Formula One and sports car racing, but it all started here with the CRX.

[sobnekahcS moT]

Was hoping they added the Warthog with the last update.. ah well there is still going to be some DLC right?

 

[Jrs3000]

Was hoping they added the Warthog with the last update.. ah well there is still going to be some DLC right?

Same here, a warthog with MC driving and mongoose with him on it are on my wish list. Of course there will be dlc and it may get in there.

 

[jond76]

Thats a lot of cars.

 

[DagnastyEp]

Looks like a great collection of cars. Can't wait to check it out!

 

[clockpunk]

Booo-urns, I was *really* hoping there would be at least one Spyker included by default - especially given the setting.

Edit: Double booo-urns at the lack of Lambo Sesto Elemento - my standby default from the first game.

 

[Arttemis]

Very awesome line up. I can't believe Driveclub wasn't designed as an open world game similar to this. Sony has been missing out on this cruising/driving game (as opposed to track racing) for years now.

Definitely grabbing this game when I pick up an xbone slim in a couple years.

 

[Daffy Duck]

WINNING!

 

[SmokyDave]

Killer roster there. Two thumbs up.

 

[julrik]

Happy to see the RS4 is still on the list. Can't believe how many online races I won with that car in FH1.

Can't wait to try out the LaFerrari and the new Mustang as well.

 

[Cygnus]

Mk1 Focus RS and Clio Williams, wow awesome.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Now, this is a great list of licensed cars. Obviously, lots of overlap with F5, but in what will surely be a much better game. Cannot fucking wait!

 

[Arttemis]

Can you customize the vehicles on any way?

Paint color options? Maybe performance alterations?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Can you customize the vehicles on any way?

Paint color options? Maybe performance alterations?

All of the above, so total cosmetic and performance customization including tuning and new parts. Even changing out drivetrains, I believe.

 

[TheAdmiester]

This is quite possibly the best selection of cars I've seen.

Defender 90 should be awesome, I really wasn't expecting that one.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

So many awesome cars!! =D

 

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

That's a really great lineup.

 

[Foshy]

Really looking forward to this. I'm getting it along Driveclub and Project CARS, but I think it'll be the one I'll enjoy the most.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

Delicious car list is delicious

 

[metareferential]

Where's my 4C?

Great list. I'm a sucker for Ferraris, so that's what I'll be driving the most.

 

[SmokyDave]

All of the above, so total cosmetic and performance customization including tuning and new parts. Even changing out drivetrains, I believe.

Assuming it's the same as the first game, engine swaps are in, but drive configuration isn't. No FF - 4WD swaps

As I say though, that's assuming it's the same as the first game.

 

[BruiserBear]

Looks like everything I'd want is there. Hoping to hear about some rally gameplay soon.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Assuming it's the same as the first game, engine swaps are in, but drive configuration isn't. No FF - 4WD swaps

As I say though, that's assuming it's the same as the first game.

Could've sworn that I read that, in addition to new aftermarket kits, they introduce the ability to switch that out to accommodate optimization for off-road travel...which standardizes rally and unbounded point-to-point race events as well as other off-road activities.

 

[guitarhero]

Could've sworn that I read that, in addition to new aftermarket kits, they introduce the ability to switch that out to accommodate optimization for off-road travel...which standardizes rally and unbounded point-to-point race events as well as other off-road activities.

From a PG stream's thread:

What I've gathered from the stream so far:

-Drivetrain swaps are in (the first Horizon didn't have this)!

These are all very exciting aspects to me, haha.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Could've sworn that I read that, in addition to new aftermarket kits, they introduce the ability to switch that out to accommodate optimization for off-road travel...which standardizes rally and unbounded point-to-point race events as well as other off-road activities.

Well we have proper car tuning now, so it's always possible to just raise your car and soften its springs if we don't have the proper support.

 

[operon]

Looking forward to this game nice lineup

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Booo-urns, I was *really* hoping there would be at least one Spyker included by default - especially given the setting.

Edit: Double booo-urns at the lack of Lambo Sesto Elemento - my standby default from the first game.

Sesto Elemento was a DLC car.

 

[super-heated plasma]

Was hoping they added the Warthog with the last update.. ah well there is still going to be some DLC right?

What?! Is this really a thing?

 

[GluedOnBeard]

Can't wait to jump in the atom, all they need to add to the list for me is Niki Lauda Ferrari and Hunts Mclaren and I am sorted.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

From a PG stream's thread:

Cool, was wondering if I just imagined it for a minute there.

Well we have proper car tuning now, so it's always possible to just raise your car and soften its springs if we don't have the proper support.

Now we have the option for both. Game is shaping up to be an instant classic.

 

[JaggedSac]

Assuming it's the same as the first game, engine swaps are in, but drive configuration isn't. No FF - 4WD swaps

As I say though, that's assuming it's the same as the first game.

I am almost certain that I read that everything that can be done in Forza 5, can be done in FH2.

 

[hwalker84]

Where's mah Challenger Hellcat.

 

[SmokyDave]

Could've sworn that I read that, in addition to new aftermarket kits, they introduce the ability to switch that out to accommodate optimization for off-road travel...which standardizes rally and unbounded point-to-point race events as well as other off-road activities.

From a PG stream's thread:

Oh, man. That's hot

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Decent list.

Didn't bother with a Season Pass for the original Horizon and I don't feel the need for one this time either.

 

[plagiarize]

Open wheel cars bump this higher up my list of must buy games.

Damn it, I don't want an Xbox One yet.

But Caterham Superlight R500 in the south of France?

Want.

 

[JackAubrey]

Ooh Landrover Defender, Good for exploring off the beaten track. Will have to do a beaten up paintjob for that.

 

[p3tran]

Assuming it's the same as the first game, engine swaps are in, but drive configuration isn't. No FF - 4WD swaps

As I say though, that's assuming it's the same as the first game.

no, this time we are promised the full monty of tuning options. the entirety that exists in forza 5.
not only swaps, but detailed tuning settings too.

 

[MrCookiepants]

No Alfa 4C, meh.

 

[chrominance]

Kind of amazing that Driveclub got delayed just to face Forza Horizon 2's heat in the end. I really like how eclectic the list is--not just MORE POWER SUPERCARRRRRRS, but a mix of classics, more obscure oldies (the Fulvia and Capri, for example), souped-up hot hatches, off-roaders, etc., etc.

Hopefully the game itself is less repetitive than Forza 5, but I never spent much time in the first Horizon so I never got a good feel for how repetitive it was. I should go back before Horizon 2 hits...

 

[Xbudz]

1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV

That's all I need.

 

[E92 M3]

Thankfully still have my M3..

 

[psychotron]

I've been out of the racing game scene for a while, but after enjoying Forza 5 this past weekend, I've got the itch again. I went out and bought Forza after only playing a few hours of the free demo, and now I'm watching videos of Horizon and I'm really psyched. The scenery in this video looks beautiful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpbkwBbY4M

 

[Gestault]

I can't believe this is only a few weeks away. So stoked. A drivable Warthog (even as paid DLC) would absolutely light this game on fire.

 

[p3tran]

I can't believe this is only a few weeks away.

basically its a week.
in a week we're going to be pimping in the demo. the other week will be quick until full release

Spoiler

I am kind of rushing myself through destiny because of this

 

[mr_sockochris]

No Gen 7 Celica?

 

[Gestault]

basically its a week.
in a week we're going to be pimping in the demo. the other week will be quick until full release

Any word on early Car Club functionality in the demo? *obvious wink*

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

That's all I need.

I'm very happy about it. On the other hand, no Reventon this time around. But I'm curious about Veneno.

 

[SmokyDave]

no, this time we are promised the full monty of tuning options. the entirety that exists in forza 5.
not only swaps, but detailed tuning settings too.

That would be enough to elicit a picture of Homer drooling if I were the type to use image macros.

Gonna build me a slammed RS2 Avant with a pile of negative camber and then cruise around the place upsetting fictional purists.

 

[Eolz]

No Peugeot 205?
Whyyyyy

 

[RoKKeR]

Great line-up, absolutely stoked for this to come out.
