Race the 1965 Ford Transit Mk1 and Its 75 HP Engine in Forza Horizon 4

In all, there are around 450 cars in the game. All can be driven, for the first time in the racing and driving genre, in dynamic seasons in a shared open-world environment. And the same will the latest addition to the game, the 1965 Ford Transit Mk1.

That's right, you can now download, modify, and eventually race a decades-old van, packing a tiny little engine that develops a total of 75 horsepower.

When announcing the entry, Ford detailed the way in which the game's modeling team was able to recreate the car. As per the carmaker, the process needed around 1,000 photos of a real-life van to be taken and then modified to recreate a digital replica.

The result? An exact in-game copy of the car, down to the tiniest of details like the door hinge bolts.

"The Ford Transit is such a unique car that we wanted to have the very first one in the game," said in a statement Miko Russell, Forza Horizon 4 photographer. "We like to switch it up on people a little bit!"

Forza Horizon 4 is a game set in Britain, therefore is packed with cars made in and for the country. Among them the McLaren Senna, a number of Aston Martins, a bunch of Bentleys and, of course, some Fords.

The Blue Oval cars you can race in Forza Horizon 4 range from the Anglia 105E to the Falcon GT F 351 or F-150 Raptor.

You can have a look at how the photos were taken, and the resulting in-game car in the videos below.
