Forza Horizon 5 : 1000 Horsepower FAN CAR Customization!! (FH5 Secret Santa)

Gordon Murray himself explicitly said that the T.50 wasn’t meant to be the fastest car ever or break any records. It’s a car that’s meant to be enjoyed and driven extensively by those who can afford it.

6:38 did you really expect to get a true feeling of how great this car drives in real life FROM FORZA?

Nick: It's not that good to drive! Also Nick: missing gear shifts

6:11 As the guy in chat said, this car isn't made to be fast (enven tough it is still very fast). From what i've seen, this car is all about feeling and driving experience, like a pagani. If it was only made to be fast, it probably wouldn't be naturally aspirated and i wouldn't have a manual gearbox.

Ok so... To elaborate further... Gordon Murray made a fan F1 car and that was the Brabham BT46 for the 1978 season. It was a straight success with it already and Niki Lauda won its debut race in Sweden. It was a great car until everyone on the grid started complaining how unfair and "dangerous" the car was which team boss and current F1 old fogey, Bernie Ecclestone quickly removing it from the grid to secure his run for the position of the head of the whole FIA organization later on. Gordon Murray was of course not happy but he couldn't fight the boss over it despite repeating that the FIA did not ban it outright. Fast forward to the present day, he's still unhappy about the removal of his baby from the grid but now that he wasn't tied to any teams and such, he could do up his pet project again with a massive "fuck you" to whoever that caused his beloved "fan car" to be removed from the grid.

The GMA T.50 is my absolute dream car! 986KG, best sounding engine (NA V12 revving to 12100RPM) and a Manual transmission? Can’t get any better than that!

6:12 to be fair - McLaren F1 wasn't meant to be fast neither, it was meant to be excellent to drive xD It became the fastest as a side effect

This car was also in the recent monthly tour for Forza Motorsport. Very fun car to drive with an amazing sound.

6:12 it's not meant to be super fast, it's meant to be the best driving experience ever, the two don't go hand in hand

Gordon Murray didn’t mean for the car to be fast. There were no performance benchmarks. Their only goal was to make the best driving car ever made. Edit: it seems a lot of other comments mention this too, I’m glad y’all understand that. Edit 2: and as other commenter also pointed out, the F1 wasn’t meant to be fast either. Gordon only calculated the top speed to choose the gear ratios. The top speed record was an accident.

If we got half way through the secret Santa after just the first week. I wonder how fast we will fill the whole secret Santa meter

Random chat member is right though: The T.50 isnt meant to be "Forza fast". Neither was the F1. Theyre supposed to be the perfect cars, not the fastest cars

Fun fact, the Cadillac ATS-v has a flappy paddle animation when the gearbox is a manual. The auto of that car was an 8 speed

You can tell Nick is enjoying the sound but not the car itself 💀

Hopefully they would add the T50s to make up for this. That beast generates almost twice its own weight in downforce.

If you got presents based on your driving ability, Nick would get coal.

Gordon Murray engine sound on the tunnel was music to my ears!

Genuinely sounds better than the LFA

This car has brought me back to forza. What a cool thing

i think the things that make this car great in real life can't be replicated in a game like fh5. forza motorsport and sims are better for this car as you can actually feel the car and its great qualities. the car is already light and grippy but swapping on different engines and upgrading it to 1500 hrsprs is basically sacrliege to this car as you are tampering with a great engine and is a big part of the car's brilliance irl. however, in pure speed in fh5 this will simply fall behind.
