Hey there! So, you're curious about Oldsmobile in Forza Horizon 2? While the game itself doesn't feature this classic American brand, Oldsmobile has a pretty rich history within the Forza universe, starting way back with Forza Motorsport 4. Think of them as a legendary marque that's made appearances in many of the main Forza titles, though they skipped the Horizon series until Forza Horizon 5, where they were added via the Car Pass on March 31, 2022. A Little History Lesson (The Cool Kind!) Oldsmobile was actually the longest-surviving automobile brand in the US, around for 107 years! Founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897, they produced a whopping 35 million cars before General Motors phased them out in 2004. They even pioneered the first automotive assembly line with their single-cylinder Curved Dash model after a factory fire in 1901. Pretty neat, huh? Oldsmobile in the Forza Games While you won't be drifting an Oldsmobile through the sunny streets of FH2, you can find them in other Forza games. Here's a quick look at some of the models that have shown up: Production Cars: * 1968 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 442: This is a rear-wheel-drive beast with a 7.4L V8 engine, putting out 384 hp and 500 ft-lb of torque. It weighs in at 3855 lbs. * 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado: Another rear-wheel-drive classic (wait, the table says FWD, let me double check... ah, yes, it's Front-Wheel Drive!), this one has a 7.0L V8, 385 hp, and 475 ft-lb of torque. It's a bit heavier at 4496 lbs. Race Cars: * 1990 Oldsmobile #75 Cutlass Supreme Trans AM: This is a serious race machine! It's RWD, powered by a 5.9L V8 making 650 hp and 521 ft-lb of torque, and it's surprisingly light at 2822 lbs. Where to Find Them (Outside of FH2): If you want to get behind the wheel of these Oldsmobiles, you'll need to check out games like: * Forza Motorsport 4, 5, 6, 7, and the 2023 Forza Motorsport * Forza Horizon 5 (as part of the Car Pass) So, while FH2 doesn't have them, it's cool to know about their legacy in the broader Forza world. Happy racing in whatever Horizon game you're playing!
