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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

You can actually see the fan spinning up and stopping

Genuinely sounds better than the LFA

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

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

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

The T.50 is not just a hypercar, it's the U L T I M A T E enthusiast's hypercar.

Murray never intended for it to be fast 6:43

I was hoping it would be a little faster but I can't complain, its still pretty fast and drives amazingly. My new favorite car.

imo the best way to enjoy the T.50 in a video game like Forza is how Gordon Murray intended the real car to be used in real life: don't take it racing. Simply cruise around the open-world and have fun! don't bother with any tuning. Just drive it bone-stock, take some cool photos, and just have fun!

This car from a design point seems like a mix of multiple cars: taillights remind me ATS GT, generally back reminds me Pagani Huayra, front looks like McLaren F1

Its crazy how good forza wing fits the car...thats actuly crazy that there is a car it looks good/okay on

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.

I wish you could upgrade this car to turn into the T.50s Niki Lauda which has a rear wing and more downforce, some engine swaps would probably help as well.

Nick dissing the car repeatedly while driving horribly is pure comedy.

1:20 sounds so cool 😎

Got mine today it’s pretty cool

They won't let this car be absolutely bonkers like a BTTB or sesto FE as it is a car everyone gets. If that were the case, it would have a seriously negative impact on playing online.

"thats what Gordon Murray tried to emulate", dude Gordon Murray is the guy who designed the fan F1 car

The best sounding car in FH5. No words.

From the title picture I was like a pagani? No a Ferrari wait no a mclaren 0:03

Rare nick sighted he complimented the engine spacers

4:13 that was smooth

This car is supposed to be an enthusiast car, it is supposed to be the last analogue “hyper car”. It is not supposed to be fast, it’s supposed to be engaging to drive hence the 6 speed manual with a V12, if it had more power it would be a widow maker. It’s just supposed to be a raw engaging experiance.

I tried this car and i love it It's good really great traction and power

I swear I single handedly sent enough cars to unlock this car for the world lol I got over 200 cars out my garage the other night. Garage so clean now

the drive modes are also super super cool

The new highest revving car in fh5

Nick and keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍 😂

Love this car, but I would have wanted to do some upgrades to the engine other than some turbos.

I got it too. It's really damn good

I'm new to the game and I had just saw the gifts last night and I downloaded every gift

Ngl that car's engine sounds like my windows computer starting up Forza

McLaren F1 did go 240 mph but that was with a modified rev limiter that possibly increased the power and also top speed but with the regular 7500 rpm limit instead of 7800 it can "only" go 220 but the Pagani huayra bc with its V12 does 238 mph no increased rev limit or any way of increasing the top speed over the regular production car

This is actually pretty good on the dirt in S2 Class (even if it doesn’t reach 998 with Offroad tires). 500 front/700 rear forza aero downforce, MUCH stiffer rear anti-sway bars than front, some torque bias to the rear with the offroad differential, and you’ll find yourself often breaking 150 MPH in the dirt, sometimes breaking 180 MPH, and it still handles well both on the dirt and off. I wonder why fan cars were never made for rallying, then I realize that this would often result in a ton of debris in the system which wouldn’t make it work well in reality.

Love ur vides❤❤

you can make it s1 road racing with awd drag tyres and aero, its nowhere near broken but semi competitive in circuits with mid-high speed corners

I hope to see the berkeley bandit concept in the game Basically the same power to weight ratio

Nick, for the love of God, if you build a race car, tune it :))

Next up we gotta get the mystery car after that one

The LFA has a good run for it's money for that sound. PS I'm Team LFA.

nice video 👌👌👌

This car's pretty good tbh, not amazing but I like it

It's meant to be the most driver focused, raw car ever.. Not to break records. So they're right, it's goal was not to be fast, but to be an extremely mechanical experience.

Most objective forza youtuber

I'm a bit of a purist in this game. I really wish that we would have gotten some simple bolt-on engine upgrades for this car, allowing us to upgrade the engine without fitting Twin Turbos. T.50s Niki Lauda (the track only version of the T.50) has the same engine, yet has been tuned for more power, producing 772hp. Therefore, the engine found in T.50 is not the ultimate spec of that engine, so we should really be able to upgrade it.

Such a good vodeo

I think with the T.50 in high downforce mode, it might give the Dodge Viper ACR a run for its money as the fastest production manual car around the Nordschleife.🤔

Its not a random thursday, its halfway to christmas, the aston will release at christmas

Do a video on the Radical RXC! i'm pretty sure its the best racecar in the game !

Great car it’s just baffling why the car isn’t animated to have its manual transmission 😢😢😢 It’s not operated via paddle shifters. I don’t get it really. Same in Motorsport. Glad to have it though. Sounds fantastic!!

NICK The fan is actually helps the car to create downforce to make it stable at high speeds

I don't know why in Motorsport you have several engine swaps (Ferrari 458 engine, AMG GT Black Series engine, 5.2L V10 and a 3.8L TT-V6) for it but not here.

The Gordon Murray T50 is a very cool car but it’s lack of performance car at all

Now we need the McMurtry Spéirling

I don't care if the car is slow that is by far one of the most beautiful cars i have ever laid eyes on in my opinion AND not to mention that it does perform very well.

Do the cars behind you driving gets theoretically a better slipstream 'cause of the fan?

Been had this car before it dropped 😂😂😂like a week ago 😂😂

Its my new favourite car It works amazing for me

The T.50 is my new favourite car in Horizon 5

Nick thinks this is made for performance but thats not true gordon says that it for experience to have fun and enjoy

Nick got beef with that car lol

@ar12gaming will you be doing hide and seeks in gta 6 when its out 😊

0:12 "And by that i mean the developers rigged it to come out on a random Tuesday" yep this is gonna be good

Still haven't gotten over the fact he says "engine spacers"

I need a BT46 livery

Espero que adicionem o BT46 também, a dupla fan car

Keep it rwd for racing. Keep stock aero. Max everything else for racing. It’s a beast

Now the T.50s

A car with a fan on it eh? Just seems like some very fancy air conditioning.

I’m glad they’re giving us this for free

Lol its the most fun stock... as soon as you try to do any "Build" you realize it's not competitive haha

Bro I missed the Christmas event and a got the car for free😆✌️

Just got 238 mph all stock with Manual and clutch

Nick you are WAAAAAAAY under reving it! Downshift and get those rpms up!

Yo Nick, I have an idea, You should make the Hoonitron in BeamNG!

Idk if its just me, but when I use both driving modes when racing (also tried with both RWD and AWD) they both feel the same. Again it might be just me but hopefully someone will do a comparison

The second Secret Santa is meant to be the Aston Martin Valkyrie

I swr this car is a mix othe the hyuara and the 458 rear wise

bro coping mad hard because the goal was reached well before Christmas unlike what he predicted 😭

Ok nice

I thought it was going to be a ferarri in the thumbnail

Me in v max boost saw something interesting get more hp but the max Down force setting is less hp.... nha I like v max boost hahaha I "smooth operator" but my new song "smooth operator like the van"😂

Ngl it sounds like Tom from Tome and jerry going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

1:20 This thing sound like an f1 car

if were talking fan cars, give us the Spierling!!
