A pinch of winter joy – GTPlanet

Britain wakes up to a snowy wonderland as Forza Horizon 4 enters a new winter season. Despite the biting cold, players are still determined to get the latest prizes in the snow.

This week, four-wheel drive is the focus of the prize pool, along with popular recurring rewards for completing 50% and 80% of the latest seasonal playlist

Ice cold speeders

In weather that requires all-wheel drive, the latest seasonal prices in this critical area will be absent. However, they redeem more than one another way, starting with the 1984 Rover SD1 Vitesse.

British Leyland’s flagship sedan was recognized for its Ferrari Daytona-inspired design that highlights the rover in a sea of ​​monotonous shapes. The Vitesse had a successful career in British touring car racing in the late 1980s. Rover’s legendary 3.5-liter V8 with 190 hp sits under the hood. With some engine and chassis modifications, you can turn the SD1 into a serious weapon.

If you really want to prove your skills on icy roads, there is the 2006 Koenigsegg CCX. As a replacement for the CCR, the CCX should be more comfortable and easier to drive than before. Until you put your foot on the ground and discover that the CCX is just as vicious. Unlike the Ford-derived engine of the CC8S, the CCX has a self-developed 4.7-liter V8 with twin compressor. With 806 horsepower just going on the rear wheels, you’ll have to give 110% to tame this beast on snow and ice.

For the latest Winter Photo Challenge, you need to find a friend. #BuddyUp requires you to either snap a photo with another player online or with one of the drivatars you can find on the map. Seasonal championship prizes include the Ford Fiesta Global Rallycross and the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.

A highlight of the pricing is the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door. Adding more practicality to the GT sports car would normally create a conflict of interest with the E63 AMG, but the GT sedan has received another performance upgrade to make it stand out. The curved fastback body hides a 4.0-liter V8 with twin turbocharging, which has been optimized to 630 hp. With an advanced all-wheel drive system, the GT may very well be the ultimate all-weather super sedan.

To get the AMG GT Sedan, you have to win the “AWD Spotlight” championship.

Winter’s Showcase Remix is ​​another journey in Isha’s Austin FX4 Taxi. In “Morning Rush” you race from the Scottish Highlands to Edinburgh against the Flying Scotsman.

Winter also offers a number of new Super7 challenges waiting to be conquered. Complete all seven and you will be awarded a Koenigsegg CCGT.

Forzathon events

To celebrate winter, Forzathon introduces a perfect vehicle to tackle the harsh environment: the 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor. Hop into this snowdrift pickup to get started.

Next, test the Raptor’s suspension durability by earning a total of 10 Crash Landing Skills. After that, you will need to use all of your skills to land a barrel roll skill.

Last but not least, go to the races and win five events. You have the freedom to choose the discipline, so you can choose any race from road to off-road to cross country.

Forzathon shop

Legends are in the spotlight of the shop this week, with the 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four taking center stage.

Toyota’s dominance in the World Rally Championship can be underlined by the Celica of the ST205 generation. Unfortunately, its legacy is being remembered for all the wrong reasons, as Toyota was disqualified from the championship in 1995 following its infamous cheating scandal.

The street-ready Celica is still considered a JDM cult icon. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbo engine with a whopping 255 hp. Thanks to all-wheel drive, the Celica has the speed to keep up with more modern competitors in any weather.

You have to part with 599 Forzathon points to get the Celica, but for that you get one of the greatest rally homologations ever.

If you’re looking for a true legend, the 1993 McLaren F1 is the place for you.

Arguably one of the most iconic supercars of all time, the F1 has moved the goalposts so far beyond the competition that it took the Koenigsegg CC8S and Bugatti Veyron to present considerable challenges in the early to mid-2000s.

The F1 was designed and built without compromise, with a central driving position, carbon fiber monococque and manual transmission. A 6.1-liter BMW V12 with 627 hp provides the firepower. While it might not sound like a lot of power in modern terms, it was enough to help the F1 reach a top speed of 240 mph.

At 150 FP, the F1 is a bargain, especially as its status is held higher than that of the cars that would later take its top speed crown.

This week’s clothing consists of the Artist’s Hoodie and the Yellow Biker Helmet.
