Realistic vehicles are key to the Forza Horizon 5 experience
If you liked the Ford Bronco Badlands on the cover, you're going to love driving it in the game. That's right, you'll first experience all of the game's stunning new features and graphics through the windshield of the Badlands as you take off on this thrilling new racing adventure.
If it feels like you're driving a real Ford Bronco from the comfort of your game room, well, you are in a way. The Forza design team goes to extraordinary lengths to get the details perfect on every vehicle in the game.
They take over 2,000 photos of each vehicle and model the game vehicles on those photographs along with CAD (computer-aided design) models.
That means if a particular model has unusual or even unique features, so will the vehicle in the game. Every vehicle is as realistic as a team of passionate designers can make it.
Vehicle manufacturer specs are followed to a tee. If you don't like something about a particular vehicle in real life, you're probably not going to like it in the game either.
For instance, Formula 1-style ground clearance is apt to encounter a few difficulties in this largely off-road game. Yes, we're talking about you, Mercedes-AMG One!
