It is not uncommon for domestic car companies to cooperate with racing games, but there are not many big international popular games, so when "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" officially announced that it would join a number of Chinese brand models in February, Chinese players cheered. Since its release in November last year, the game has been loved by the majority of players, and the number of online users in the two months of release has exceeded 20 million, which has become the ceiling of racing games in recent years.
Judging from the trailer released by it, the much-watched God Car Wuling Hongguang S has finally taken to the world stage, and the eye-catching red label S in the trailer and the familiar drainage drift bend make people look forward to its competition on the Mexican volcano. Of course, this car will naturally be favored by many car modification masters again, with more fancy painting and more powerful engines, giving full play to the maximum potential of Wuling Hongguang S.
The 2016 EP9 of NIO, a new car-making force, became the first Chinese supercar to land in the "Forza Motorsport" series. As the "performance ceiling" of domestic brands, this car has brushed the fastest lap record of 6 minutes and 45 seconds at the Nürburgring circuit in 2017, and its sharp shape and top power performance have always had a high degree of heat in overseas markets, and it is reasonable to be able to become the first batch of independent models to land on the horizon.
The remaining two models are from MG, although MG's hometown is the United Kingdom, but because of the marriage to the domestic SAIC, it is directly defined by Horizon as a "Chinese brand". From the trailer, it can be seen that one model is the 2014-2015 MG 3, but the car in the game uses a right-hand drive version, which may have something to do with its export sales in the UK. The other is mg Xpower SV-R, which basically has little to do with the domestic market, which is the last car manufactured by MG before changing owners to Nanqi, and it can also be regarded as a kind of remembrance of its past.
Interestingly, the supercar EP9 is far less popular than the Hongguang S, which may have a certain relationship with its aura and sense of substitution, after all, wuling hongguang S is a car that can be played in the game and can be afforded in reality, and the EP9 can only be enjoyed through the "cloud" operation across the screen.
