Forza Horizon 4: Best of Series 36

Looks like you've managed to get the three new cars that were featured on Forza Horizon 4's Series 36 update and with this update wrapping up, let's have a quick review on the new vehicles you've recently obtained throughout this update.


This here is the Mazda Savanna or RX-3 for the world market. Judging from its looks, this is known to be the first stage of the Savanna when it first launched in 1971, the S102. It's powered by a 10A rotary engine mated to a 4-speed floor-type manual gearbox. It produces 105PS of power and apart from the performance, the S102 Mazda Savanna comes with a rear bias mount shock absorbers as well as a torque rod and a 65L fuel tank. There's a known fact that the S102 Savanna was involved in numerous motorsport activities such as the Fuji Grand Champion Series, the Japan Golden Trophy Race, and the Fuji Turismo Trophy 500 mile, among many others.


Next, the Mazda Cosmo. This car deserves no explanation because this is the world's first rotary-powered car on sale when it was first launched in 1967. It defied skepticism of how a rotary engine is made and done thanks to the idea of employing a graphite-aluminum alloy seal. Not only that, the problems of excessive oil consumption and a lack of low-end torque were taken care of, thus led to the commercialization of cars powered by rotary engines. Oh, and for lovers of Japanese shows, did you know that the Mazda Cosmo was used by the MAT from The Return of Ultraman?


Lastly, there's another supercar that time nearly forgot. It's called the Saleen S1 and it's meant to be Saleen's all-new model since the S7. Meant to be a true driver's car, the mid-engined, two-seat independent suspension supercar features an all-aluminum lightweight chassis combined with a carbon fiber body and a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 450HP of power. The Saleen 1 was priced at around a hundred grand but carmakers are still waiting when will it be out, although there was a one-make race series featuring the said car...despite the fact that it will be made in China. No joke. Made in China.




Now that we have our dibs on these three cars, let's give them a quick spin just to find out how good are these newest additions. Roll the tape!




Enjoy your new rides!
