![]() ![]() While I’m sure most Forza players tune and upgrade their cars already, I will say that to get the most out of any of the vehicles here, you’re really going to have to spend some time with them in the workshop. Stock, they’re all pretty modest, despite each of them showing off their engines with prominence. Whether on or off the pavement, they handle well and have decent speeds. These three, in particular, are what I would consider being the “all-rounders” of the Hot Wheels Legends pack. But, I can say that it’s a bit of a toss-up between the Studebaker, LUV, and Loadstar. ![]() I wasn’t sure at all which would “speak” to me just by looking at them. Beyond this, I found myself being pleasantly surprised with getting used to the handling and power of the other vehicles. That particular car is fast and nimble, but it’s also rather twitchy and an absolute mess on anything that isn’t a paved road. Even the 2JetZ, which is the only S-class car in the pack, doesn’t have a huge kick to it. When I saw these cars in their promo trailer and in screenshots, they looked like they would be seriously mean machines out of the gate. Each test was conducted with a purely stock vehicle: no tunes, no upgrades. Then, I’d try a single Horizon race according to the type that best matched the vehicle. I’d drive the vehicles a bit on the open-world map to see what their strengths and weaknesses would be. To evaluate this pack, I decided to do a simple test. ![]() And yet, none of these cars are any better suited for that task than ones that you’d already have in your virtual garage. Forza is about drifting through corners, tearing up dirt roads, and rocketing down straightaways. Right off the bat, I can say that despite their mean looks and intimidating engines, none of these cars will hold a candle to the prime picks of vehicles in the base game. While Hot Wheels both in model and IRL form are mostly meant for show, what’s the use of having them in a wild game like Forza Horizon 4 if all you’re going to do is pull up to one spot and snap a bunch of pictures? (More on that later.) Thus, the real moneymaker here is how these “Legends” drive. ![]() But, of course, we’re still talking about a game here. ![]()
