The 1965 Ford Transit is now available for drivers to race and modify in Forza Horizon 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Driving games are usually associated with high-powered supercars and heavy-duty trucks. But the Forza Horizon 4 driving game is going one better and has included something that’s much more fun for van lovers — the 1965 Ford Transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By modern standards, this 75 horsepower vehicle is slow and handles like a bath tub. I suspect the “faithfully recreated … driving experience”<\/em> will seem fairly agricultural alongside high-powered alternatives like the Ford GT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as we all know, driving a van is always much more fun than driving a car<\/em>. And vans don’t get much more classic than the 1965 Ford Transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,000 photos don’t lie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To measure up the van for the game, Forza’s photographers took about 1,000 photos of an original van from Ford’s heritage collection. Every detail was recorded, right down to the door hinges and the inside of the engine bay. These images were then used to create a digital replica of the van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside this, Forza’s physics team recreated the driving experience of the original van so that game players can enjoy an authentic Transit experience and load-carrying ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end result is one of the most authentic game driving experiences you’ll find. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
