Take on Winter in Forza Horizon 4 With Us Today at 3PM
We’re kicking off the holiday weekend with another Forza Horizon 4 session this afternoon.
The mercury might be rising in the real world, but winter has hit FH4’s version of Britain. It should make it a little harder to hunt down this week’s prize cars, but we’re doing it anyway, because there’s two classic JDM models up for grabs this week. They both have pop-up headlights too, and we don’t need to tell you pop-ups are the coolest.
First on the list is the 1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R. The angular sport coupe boasts a big 2.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumping out 188 hp. Not much by modern terms, no, but it’s backed up by plenty of low-down torque, and a relatively light curb weight of 3,087 lb. The Starion enjoyed reasonable motorsport success when new, and was even the basis of a rapid, twin-charged Group B entry. Unfortunately the class was binned before Mitsubishi could finish development.
The other new-but-old car this week is the 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four. This model helped put Toyota firmly in the record books in the WRC: Carlos Sainz (Sr.) was the first Driver’s Champion to drive a Japanese car in 1990, and he did it again in ’92. Juha Kankkunen and Didier Auriol would repeat the feat the following two years.
