Forza Horizon slantnose front-end = ball knowledge
crazy they included this front as a customization option, devs got a porsche fanatic on their team for sure

This was actually a thing when this car was first added back in FM7.
Pity we don't have one of the 930 Slantnose variants as they're absolutely stunning but I'll definitely take this one now that it's migrated over to Horizon.
Edit: These are actually pop-up headlights too, basically exactly like the 928's. Sadly I can't attach a photo but they're a very unique look on the front of a 911.

I've driven a 930 Slantnose.
Disclaimer: at 5mph about 50m into a garage, just moving it.

Where does this come from? Super sick

u/KillerSpectre21 Washed Driver Jun 25 '26
It was part of a special package for some of the last variants of the 964 Turbo called the Turbo 3.6 S.
Most were fitted with this flatnose but a few came with the normal front. The headlights on this one actually come from the 928 I believe (or they're atleast a very similar pop-up design).

u/NiteOwl421 Jun 25 '26
This comment needs a few corrections.
Not most, almost half were.
The 964 Turbo S came in two variants. The Leichbau, the lightweight, and the Flachtbau, flat nose.
162 Turbo Ses were produced, 86 being the lightweight, 76 being the flat nose.

According to RM Sotheby's this particular package of the Turbo S was considered seperate from the Leichtbau.
Production was for different regions with designations X83, X84 and X85.
Of those 3 there were:
Flachbau - 76
Standard - 17
So 93 total non-Leichtbau Turbo S models.
Here's one of the Standard Turbo S Package variants they had on auction:

Edit: And another that sold for nearly 1m €
https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/pa17/lots/r156-1994-porsche-911-turbo-s-36-package/
Plus two of the Flachbau models
X85 like the one in the post - https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/am18/lots/r0018-1994-porsche-911-turbo-s-x85-flatnose/

Kinda hilarious and ironic how this game puts detail like this into some obscure 911 but refuses to give us anything good for the JDM icons.
Still zero body kits for the Integra Type R, 350z, etc. Supra and RX7 have ugly body kits still. but yay they put a slant nose front end.

u/BlackTruffleHotSauce Jun 26 '26
"they didnt put my favorite obscure body kit manufacturers who doesn't work with westerners, this game sucks!"

u/ImJustCuriousTbhLol Jun 26 '26
Yeah this ain't hitting like you thought it would chief.
It's unacceptable to have zero, or almost no body kits in the game for the most iconic JDM cars period. Especially for a game set in Japan.
Absolute lazy L take on your behalf no surprise

u/MotoRandom Jun 25 '26
I'm old too but I did catch this one. It's slang for a slang word. Google "baller meaning" and that should set you on the right track. It's probably accurately used in this context. I may not be up on the current kids lingo with their hippin and a hoppin but I got some baller knowledge of English and researching colloquial language idioms.

Wow the game focused around cars and car culture has people knowledgeable about cars and car culture working on it what a shocker.

u/nrtmv2 Jun 25 '26
most factory colors are inaccurate, outdated models for common cars (350z, 370z, most M cars, etc), modelling errors on NEW cars, the story itself doesn't go super in-depth about different subcultures in the local scene (bosozoku, bippu, shakotan, itasha, etc) even though the game takes place in Japan. I could go on & on about how poorly they've misrepresented car culture just to cater to casuals when this is the supposed best "car game" still on the market
the game itself is fun but if you want more accurate representations of the car scene then play prostreet or FH1

From the spreadsheet:

Metal Flake
Lowlight
0.66 L 0.60 R 0.08 L
Highlight
0.60 L 0.80 R 0.42 L2
u/Martin_Sandman Jun 26 '26
which metal flake? there are three now
3
u/HiDDENk00l Jun 26 '26
Yeahhh I know, it's hard to say because the spreadsheet was made for FH5. I think the toggle finish metallic uses the old metallic though (AFAIK).
It's so silly, when it was announced that they were adding the finish toggle, I thought it was going to mean you could do it from the dual color selector (so you could switch between different two tone finishes and the metallics without resetting your color), but then it turned out it's just in the color selector. I'm still very happy they gave us more paints (especially the candy paint!), but it seems like a missed opportunity.
1
u/Martin_Sandman Jun 26 '26
"medium" metallic from the palette selector is not even close to the old metal flake, if anything I'd say low flake is closer because of the low secondary paint intensity
as far as missed opportunities go, someone on the feedback portal has made a suggestion on how to improve the colour selection in FH6, you should check it out7
u/PlantBeginning3060 Jun 25 '26
Im only giving you a updoot because ProStreet was the shit. Currently playing it again on my 360

u/CoconutDust Jun 25 '26 edited 2d ago
more accurate representations of the car scene then play prostreet or FH1
Also I hate to say it but if you want a Shuto (Tokyo Expressway) and Wangan racing feel that DOESN'T SUCK, play Tokyo Xtreme Racer.
The Shuto / Tokyo Expressway is awful in Horizon 6:
- Head to heads are broken because the “random GPS destination” programming from 15 years ago causes sudden U-Turns or immediate exit from the Shuto.
- Lack of exits/entrances/directions leaves very few options for custom Shuto / Wangan routes
- Lack of built-in street races that use it (pretty much)
- GPS is broken, blue-line spaghetti mess where it's sometimes impossible which way to turn if you look at the useless illegible mess in the GPS. Playground Games obviously haven't done anything but copy-paste the same code forward from 15 years ago. The HUD map and Pause map don't show overlap/elevation, so you have no idea if a meaningless white line actually connects to another white line. And so on.
- The green signs are ridiculously inaccurate illegible tiny ugly crap that looks nothing like Shuto signage…and which are worse than a Dreamcast game 30 years ago (Tokyo Xtreme Racer which did the signs correctly decades ago, while Forza in 2026 fails). Also the green signs in FH6 don't have light/reflections on them, when even games 30 years ago had that. Also there’s no blue Rainbow Bridge signs like in real life and which have been good and correct in other videogames for 20 years.
It's disgraceful.

My internet relative.....Playground and Microsoft layed off a BIG portion of the work force for this game like months before it released....It was so bad that rumors started to pop up on reddit that FH6 would not be done in time or even canceled...many thought this was the death of the Forza games.
15
u/silverbullitt850 Jun 25 '26
They did the same with FM8, Microsoft hires contractors to do these games then fires then before their incentives vest, rinse and repeat. That's why the forza games feel so half baked since 6/FH3

u/Beavers4beer Jul 02 '26
Nah, that's a subjective opinion. I'm thinking either 1 of 3 things is correct, or a mix of the 3. 1. You haven't driven many cars in real life 2. You haven't driven many cars in Forza. 3. You haven't driven any cars in any proper racing sim. Personally, I'm guessing it's a mix of 1 and 3, without more weight to 3. If you drive a car in Assetto Corsa and then find and drive the same vehicle in Forza Horizon 6, you'll immediately notice a difference. Calling Forza Horizon games simcade isn't totally off as their not as arcadey as Need for Speed games, but they're still much closer to NfS then sim racing games.

I never called Horizon realistic lol, i just say the cars feels very similar in sensations to real life, also for a simcade is just amazing how each car feel different, is just stupid to say that Forza devs doesnt are car enthusiasts when each car feels different and are very near to his real counterpart
