Cars

This is a sub-page of Forza Horizon 5.

There are over 800 cars in Forza Horizon 5 that are available to players, but there is also a lot of unused content relating to cars not yet (or potentially never) obtainable. There exists a few cars that have unused textures, thumbnails and data hidden in the game files.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Analyze badge files for any leftovers/interesting cars

Missing Stellantis Group Brands#

As soon as the Horizon 5 car list was fully revealed, four brands were missing from the game, since day 1. The missing brands include Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth and Lancia. Remnants of these cars in the FH5 files mostly include texture files and thumbnail files. As of July 18, 2023, it has been since confirmed that Fiat, Lancia, Abarth and Alfa Romeo would come on Series 24. Despite Series 24's release, there are still some cars that are either left unused, or not added to Forza Horizon 5.

Here were what were left over in FH5's files from the Stellantis Brands(thumbnails can be seen in the Youtube video source in the Unused Thumbnails section). :

Unused Thumbnails#

One of the first few leaks for this game were that of unused thumbnails that were spotted in what used to be Ui/Textures/Thumbnails.zip. Eventually, the file location of these thumbnails changed in a way that stored them based on their update release. Thumbnails for every car in Forza Horizon 4 are discovered, as well as some Forza Motorsport 7/Horizon 3 leftovers.

The majority of Series 2 and 3 cars were leaked from this, but there are some interesting, unused thumbnails that could potentially hint some cars arriving to Forza Horizon 5 in future updates. These include:

1939 Chevrolet C1500 'Brass Monkey' Barrett Jackson

1997 Land Rover Defender 'Paypal' Edition

Unused Wheel Textures#

It has been found that several textures for wheels and badges alike have been found in media/cars/_library/textures.zip, specifically in the ao_wheels folder and libraryao/wheels. These textures include almost all of the previously leaked cars from Forza Horizon 4, as well as several new textures for cars that are new to the franchise and leftovers from past Forza games. It is unknown if these cars would come to either Forza Horizon 5 in the future, or are in preparation for the new Forza Motorsport reboot.

The table below shows all the wheel textures leaked (new-to-Forza):

Cars hidden in data files#

New cars have been discovered in the data files by some users from GTPlanet. One recent discovery by user TGR55 on GTPlanet revealed a vehicles.txt file, which may have something to do with headlights based on the variables. No texture files exist for these cars. These cars in question include:

Car Name	Internal Filename	Notes
Volkswagen Super Beetle
2022 Maserati MC20	MAS_MC20_22	Previously speculated by TheAdmeister; Confirmed to appear in Forza Horizon 6

(Source: GTPlanet)

Suspension Files#

A deleted file called AAA_SuspensionStructure.xlsx was used by Forza's developers to research and possibly program suspensions. A lot of unused cars exist, complete with ID numbers under the RESEARCH_CAR tab. The suspension file was discovered on GTPlanet as early as March 4, 2022. Unfortunately, the file got deleted in the April 2022 update.

Not much else is known, other than the fact that several new-to-Forza cars, possibly intended for both Motorsport and Horizon games to feature in the future.

Mercedes-AMG ONE Forza Edition#

Used primarily in the XBOX & Bethesda E3 Showcase, during the Forza Horizon 5 reveal, as well as being seen in Horizon Promo, but is unplayable. Currently, it does not include the livery shown in the trailer, and it has no skill perk like the other Forza Edition cars. The default tune has more PI than the regular car, but it performs slightly worse overall.

Barn Finds#

Recently, there have been unused video files, showing the sign language interpretation of dialogue in the game. From these files, three additional barn finds were discovered. The barn finds in question include:

Car Name	Internal Filename	Notes
1910 Fiat S76 'Beast of Turin'	pgc2177_barnfind_1910_Fiat_S76_Beast_of_Turin_reveal_13_ASL.bk2
1986 Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione	pgc2175_barnfind_1986_Ferrari_288_GTO_Evoluzione_89_11_ASL.bk2
1967 Hurst Shifters Baja Boot	pgc2176_barnfind_1967_Hurst_Shifters_Baja_Boot_reveal_12_ASL.bk2

List_PartManufacturers#

A string file called List_PartManufacturers, located at media/stripped/stringtables/EN.zip was discovered on March 8, 2023. This text file, based from the filename may have listed information containing brands that have customizable parts on existing or new cars. Several car brands that were mentioned in this file appear to be never seen in Forza Horizon 5, with some brands, such as BRM, Ginetta and Ligier eventually appearing in Forza Motorsport. These aforementioned brands include:

Bizzarrini (Wheels for the 5300 Strada were leaked as early as Forza Motorsport 2)
BRM (British Racing Motors)
DAF Trucks
Delage
Ginetta - later added in the Series 32 update with the Ginetta G10 RM
Icona
Isuzu
Ligier
Reynard Motorsport
Rivian - later added in the Series 25 update with the Rivian R1S and R1T
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG)

Alternative Liveries#

Two alternative liveries (materialbin files) that appear to be unused were found in media/cars/_library/materials.zip were also discovered. These liveries are:

lol_31_t163_69
for_3_capriturbo_81

Confirmed Cars#

Several sources, including garages that allowed Playground Games to scan their cars, as well as official car manufacturers have confirmed several cars appearing in Forza Horizon 5 or Motorsport in the future. Some cars are also seen in official FH5 material, primarily on the Festival Playlist. These cars include:

A user by the name of jwsbtccfan on Reddit mentions in a comment regarding the Ginetta G60 LMP1 appearing in the new Forza Motorsport the fact that the team who scans cars for the Forza games has allegedly scanned all of the Ginetta cars that were available in the Ginetta factory that he was working on. Moveover,Volvo 1800E just added in Forza Customs which is previously appeared Forza Horizon 3/Motorsport 7,it unknown will be added in this game or Motorsports 2023 or next Horizon game.
