Forza Horizon 4 Series 9 Update Adds Four Minis and More

---

Playground Games has shown off the next round of updates coming to Forza Horizon 4. Dubbed Series 9, it will introduce a variety of cars and content for players to experience around Britain. While there was no word on the elusive second expansion for the game, Playground did cover what will be available to all players, free of charge. This includes seven cars, most of which are new to the franchise.

Forza Horizon 4 gets another content update. Series 9 adds four new Mini cars to the game, as well as the return of two fan-favourites.

New Cars: Four Mini Models, Two Hypercars and a Muscle Car

In terms of sheer numbers, it's Mini that gets time in the spotlight for this update. Arguably one of the most British of names — even if it's owned by Germans now — the this year is the 60th anniversary of Mini. To celebrate, Playground is doubling the brand's count in-game, with no less than four new models leading this month's bunch. 

Here's the full list of added cars in Series 9:

• 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible
• 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Countryman All4
• 2018 MINI X-raid John Cooper Works Buggy
• 1965 Morris Mini-Traveller
• 723 Quartz Regalia
• 2018 Apollo Intensa Emozione

Two of the 2018 models should be familiar enough, as regular road cars. The X-Raid car is more or less a MINI in name only — literally and figuratively, as a purpose-built Dakar-tackler. Last but certainly not least is the Apollo Intensa Emozione. The IE's wheel was part of the FM7 main menu last month, so it arriving here and not in Turn 10's track-based racer is unexpected.

The update also addresses some issues with online racing. Wall-riding (i.e. not braking and turning and let the wall and game physics move you faster) will now be penalised by a short slowdown. Also, players that go way too fast when everyone is slow - like someone misjudged a corner - will be ghosted to avoid impact. So this should reduce the number of punts.

All of these cars will be available over the course of Series 9, via various in-game challenges. Like these mini cars? Get ready to add a new car to your garage with more cheapest Forza Horizon 4 Credits. Click here to "Buy Forza Horizon 4 Credits".
