Forza Horizon n 4 is the less realistic but possibly more interesting sibling of Forza Motorsports of Turn 10 Studio, just announced a new member of the fleet you can drive: from Quadra Turbo-R V-TECH. "What, that’s a Honda er sumpin? You might ask.

Plus, you gotta say that having a 1,500 lbs., 600 plus horsepower car to throw around an open-world environment sounds like a complete blast.
