Leaked Thumbnails#

Said user who also leaked the audio data files also discovered several thumbnails for unused vehicles that either returned in upcoming Forza games or were completely unused as of the April 2018 update, eventually getting wiped an update later. Only the thumbnails of unreleased cars that were left unused will be in this gallery. At the Russian forum cs.rin.ru, another user named ThatsJustLogic discovered even more unused thumbnails that were potentially left out.
