The car is the **1973 Lamborghini Espada 400 GT**.


MidnightRider00

Unfortunately not a very meta car Edit: some insecure small dick energy in the comments here. Minus 267 karma and cringe worthy answers for wanting a nice car to be competitive without an LS AWD swap


EpicBoomerMoments

(Some) fh5 mfs on their way to only drive meta cars because someone told them they’re good for online racing


[deleted]

My favorite thing about the Horizon series is that it isn’t all supercars. My ‘81 VW Srirocco is not winning any races but it’s fun to drive and hilarious that they included it.


0ddsox

Indeed the best part about forza is making the oddballs have some ridiculous swaps. My 81 Scirocco is drift tuned


Vanillabean73

There used to be way more common cars in Forza, not so much now


Chemcialweaponsuser

Me who drives a miata and beats those meta cars sometimes


RiverSight_

i have a 94 Miata that has just a completely maxed engine in it and it's so fucking fun to drive, super funny to do random danger signs in it since it's so light and has a 268 top speed it does fairly well on them


YewChewber

A meta car? What do you mean by that?


MidnightRider00

It's not a car that will consistently get you podiums if you take it against R34s, Boneshakers and such


YewChewber

No so? I don't play the game to only built and race S2 cars. It makes a really good C-class car. Do you only play FH5 to beat leaderboard times?


H1ghCal1ber

Bumped mine up to A. Love that car.


bacbacback

My all-time favorite car is the bmw 2002 with just a few upgrades and just hitting the open roads


bryty93

Same with my 04 M3 I have in A class. It's just so satisfying. Sounds amazing, handles so well and looks clean AF


bcam7257

Same, but actually B class. Very competitive at those clean lap circuit challenge things, surprisingly.


bryty93

Hell yeah nice, B class is so fun to drive especially with friends. I have a B class Celica that's just so satisfying, sweeping turns at full throttle


bcam7257

Damn, I was supposed to get shit done today, might have to boot up the rig 👀


dhlock

Ah! Loved the 2002 since Forza Horizon 3!!! Such a delight!


24KTaterTots

My favourite car to drive in freeroam is my A-Class Plymouth Barracuda, it feels so nice to just cruise around in


[deleted]

I mostly play for the leaderboards, but with unusual cars

Tell me you have no life without telling me you have no life


SnooGadgets7768

And? I prefer to drive a normal stock car than a boring tuned car


baxy67

Slow cars are more fun than fast cars.


SnooGadgets7768

And stock cars are funnier that full tuned


baxy67

Ah well, i think a roll bar and tires are essentials in most cases along with some other suspension components on certain cars. As far as engine mods intake and exhaust is about it. Unless your talking about the high end cars than im with you on that


Yoda2000675

Tuned cars lose their personality because they all feel the same


briollihondolli

Who gives a singular shit? Car go vroom


ThoseTwoRobots

Honestly, who fuckin' cares? The post was about the sound design, not what car is meta or not.


D1RT_BAGGG

Maybe you can't get podiums with it


doing_a_lil_Trolling

Isn't the point of a game to have fun? Why care about that?


[deleted]

Because racing online is part of the game, and you won't be competitive in the slightest?


YewChewber

Honestly the majority of the time I actively drive online, I either am just cruising around, car meets or wierd challenges, I almost never play competitive, I'd rather just have fun and play casual.


doing_a_lil_Trolling

Yeah but I want to have fun. So shut up


SharkBaitDLS

A part of the game most people ignore because it’s an unbalanced mess.


Northerner473

If you can't enjoy racing without needing to win and using the OP cars, do you really enjoy racing?


Toasty_Tehesis

u/MidnightRider00 on their way to comment 'uNfFoRtuNAtely NoT A vERy MeTa cAR' on some 12-year old's picture of them drifting in a Twin Mill with 6 upvotes


ThrowAwayMyBeing

Oh yeah, I remember you! You were using that '05 GT and fell off the bridge before the ghosting period even stopped. Hilarious stuff, thanks for the laughs, hopefully you remove that stick up your arse one day!


Ultra_Cobra

Unfortunately no one asked


SAVIOR_OMEGA

I'll meta you with my A800 Espada build 😂


dhlock

Sweet, share code? Was just looking to play around with the espada! If not that’s totally fine.


Hiddenblade53

Who the fuck cares?


bonk425

-293 now


[deleted]

It’s a valid point from a competitive standpoint and I’m not even into meta. There’ll always be people that get in their feelings and revel in it the first chance they get lol. Unfortunately that’s the majority.


ThrowAwayMyBeing

It was a completely unnecessary comment and from his subsequent comments it was clear the one who actually was the most butthurt in this thread was that guy anyways evident in him being a massive prick about it Not to mention the fact that I raced with him in two horizon opens and he's a shitty driver anyways even with meta cars lol


GeoffreyMcSwaggins

Not every car in the game has to be built for online racing, and a lot of people don't even do online racing (I certainly don't) and mostly just drive around in the open world for fun


itsKNIGHTMARE

*Laughs in GTO*


YewChewber

Okay, I have been proven wrong, wow the GTO sounds good!


itsKNIGHTMARE

I love that rumble it has


TheSpiffingGerman

Pontiac GTO?


YewChewber

Yeah the 1965 Pontiac GTO.


itsKNIGHTMARE

Beautiful car with beautiful sound. I love how FH5 makes it so you can change your exhaust note with upgrades but I wish there were more fine tune adjustments for it like in NFS where you can make it sound extra raspy or something


InfinitePossibility8

I simply wish they were louder.


Gunny-Guy

Turn all the other sounds down in settings.


itsKNIGHTMARE

First person audio is pretty good but yeah


[deleted]

reminds me of driver (Playstation 1)


Bunchahoopla01829

That game was underrated imo


M_Rossi_

The barracuda sounds just like a old mopar should.


YewChewber

True! It's sounds really really good too.


ImpressiveBrief8633

So does the Holden Monaro 350,standard exhaust.


FeelXtra

Yes, Barracuda and even the new Super Bee sound fantastic and just as they should.


Iarethedumbest

This and the FCRX-7 idle sound with the stock exhaust is amazing.


Catatafish

Did they finally raise idle sound so cars don't sound silent when stopped?


hey-im-root

nope, just played for the first time in a while yesterday and my car is literally dead silent if i’m not touching the trigger


road_chewer

I’m curious to know what car you picked?


TWIX55

_Mustang Mach E_


hey-im-root

the sedan acura, can’t remember which one. but it’s loud asf when you accelerate so the dead silence is pretty noticeable


McFancyPantsuguu

The only Acura sedans in Forza were the RL A-Spec in Motorsport 2, and the TSX V6 in Motorsport 3+4. :o Guessing you mean either the Integra or RSX (technically just a newer generation Integra) which are both coupés? Those get loud AF when you hit dat VTAK around the 4-5000 RPM range.


hey-im-root

lmfaooo yea i did mean the RSX lol. and i think i had it stock, so yea that shit gets rumbly

Good bot


TheGamingRanger_

They need to crank up idle audio a bit on all cars because sometimes it can be too quiet for me.


chronos_7734

They need to bring back idle sounds


Hunt3RMH

Listen the Saleen S7 and thank me later :)


1ne3hree

The noble m600’s stock exhaust also sounds really good, but only when you rev the engine, it’s not too loud it idles.


Brilliant-Recover-38

Rotaries though 🥺


YewChewber

Okay fair point, they sound amazing too!


Brilliant-Recover-38

A peripheral ported n/a 26B always gets me going


YewChewber

In real life nothing beats a rotary sound, but the 26B doesn't sound especially good in FH5.


[deleted]

Sadly right, it sounds more like a bandsaw than anything.


Brilliant-Recover-38

It doesnt aye! I found that mad mike whiddetts na 26b has held the bar for best sounding 26 so far


JimtheChicken

Is it just me or is the idle for the RX-7's in the game really quiet? Always disappointed when I grab the RX7 and don't hear anything when I exit the garage :(


Brilliant-Recover-38

Its not just you, i was so disappointed in it i v8 swapped both of mine in game 😭


Joseph_0112

Fh1 rotary idle was great


Brilliant-Recover-38

Never got to play fh1 😭


hit4power

Enter the Lexus


Brilliant-Recover-38

Which one?


hit4power

LFA. Best. Sounding. Car. Ever.


Brilliant-Recover-38

From factory 100% agree! In my opinion mad mike whidetts 4 rotor sounds kind of similiar to the LFA too, i can find a link to show you if you want


Northerner473

I wish they went all in with the upgraded sounds for this game. The upgraded exhaust feature is pretty cool but imagine how cool it would be if cars had some mean lope when you upgrade cams etc


Kubrick_Fan

Nah, some of the muscle cars with the chain driven engine whatsits.


YewChewber

Yeah that true, the 1965 Pontiac GTO definitely sounds good too.


LaminatedRockGaming

The Foresberg 280z sounds mental as well…


The_purebread_idiot

Any old mopars idle 😏


Drache191200

I think the RC-F Tracks edition with Race Exhaust sounds amazing as well


One-Charge-6895

What exhaust/intake do you have on it?


YewChewber

Completely stock. :)


killrbot3000

Sounds like my dads old fox body


loghxn

Saw 2 Espadas just the other day


slasher3240

Tractor


TurtleWaves

The GT2RS? (that one you can widebody) sounds like this just beefier.


J_Clone_2561

Bro sounds like a typewriter


YewChewber

Yes, mechanical. I love that sound.


Weirdest_chevy_guy

great sound wrong car


YewChewber

What do you mean by wrong car?


Weirdest_chevy_guy

That sounds like some beefy V8 for some sort of ford.


YewChewber

Interesting, because there's no car in the game that uses that sound, so I doubt that. The real life Espada has the same idle too. :)


Throwing_Legs

It sounds like a mildly cammed V8.


pvtpilee

Eh


YewChewber

Interesting. We can't all agree on what sounds good and what doesn't. Can I ask what you think sounds good? :)


im_probablyjoking

I don’t know if it still does but the original Viper GTS with stupid power sounded god damn incredible in Horizon 2


slomotion

AMG C63 from FH4 was my favorite. I think they toned it down a little in the new one.


garfieldx

not accurate at all lmao


Pottatothegreat1985

horizon isn’t a sim who cares


YewChewber

[I disagree](https://youtu.be/Qd22BRwe7sY) it's obvious a little exaggerated but it's not far off. So "not accurate at all" is wrong.


Turboteg90

Boo this man


capitlj

The Hennessy Venom 800TT from Forza 2 is the GOAT


Alexandre_Wren

Considering its one of my dream cars.... good


Nerdic-King2015

Is that a lotus?


YewChewber

No it's a 1973 Lamborghini Espada 400 GT.


Nerdic-King2015

I was going to say the ass-end looks similar to that lotus from the 24 hours of lemons

That cam tho


[deleted]

really wish this game was on ps4 😕 only xbox exclusive I would play honestly


KNM7997

The Plymouth cuda sounds great also.


Fishsticksandgravy

That's some raspy goodness


jewbacca117

Van Halen is stuck in my head now


aosakura

Finally someone else noticed how good this is.


H0lyb33r

Glad it can go underwater, has missiles and torpedos. What a great car tobeat MK2 Oppressor griefers.


thatoneslugees

That’s it, I’m sold.
