Forza Horizon 4: Photogenics

In case you're new here, the return of Horizon PR in Forza Horizon 4 allows players to win great prizes just by taking photos of specific vehicles. When you see a moving vehicle with the camera marked on the top, switch to photo mode, take a picture, and Bob's your uncle. Simple as that.



There are two prize cars up for grabs in Horizon PR. Capturing 100 cars will grant you access to this, the Ferrari Portofino. You already know it, of course, but what happens when you took 200 cars in Horizon PR? The prize car is this...





This is no ordinary 993-spec Porsche 911 Carrera because this is a very special Gunther Werks 993. With only 25 examples made, this modern-day reboot of the 993-spec Porsche 911 Carerra features lightweight materials used on its body, especially carbon fiber, bespoke LED headights, revised 4.0L flat-six NA engine producing over 400 horsepower, and revised Getrag 6-speed manual gearbox. Because it weighs 2677lbs, this car has a power-to-weight ratio of 6.2lbs/hp.



Now that I got my hands on the two Horizon PR prize cars, let's pit these two for a quick sprint to the Horizon Festival to see which of the two Horizon PR prize cars is the best. The Portofino may have more power than the GW 993 but the GW 993 is lighter than the Portofino, making it a very one-sided experiment. Anyway, no time for words because it's time to commence the experiment.



After a quick sprint to the Festival, here are the results;

Portofino - 1:55.782
GW 911 - 1:53.614



What a shock result! The lesser but lighter one has beaten the open-top stallion by around two seconds! The GW 993 is the better of the two Horizon PR cars!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy driving these two Horizon PR cars. The Portofino and the GW 993 are definitely a blast to drive. Photogenic as well.

Enjoy your new rides!
