Forza Horizon 4: Ready to R-I-O-T

Forza Horizon 4 introduces us to the first of the three RTR Mustangs in the recent update with a big catch; complete 50% of the Summer Horizon Playlist to gain access to the first RTR car; the RTR Mustang Spec 5. Now that I finally got my hands on a sad-faced Mustang bolted up with some RTR body kits, let's see what's what.



RTR, or Ready To Rock, is the brainchild of Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. with a vision to modify Mustangs to make it more attractive in the street scene. It was first established in 2007 as an OEM+ performance vehicles company designing special vehicles for special clients. They even had a collaboration deal with the Ford Motor Company to sell their modified masterpieces such as the Mustang at select Ford Dealerships as well.



This particular vehicle started out in life as a normal facelifted Ford Mustang GT. You know? The one with the sad face on it, but the folks from RTR managed to slap this Stang with their own brand of parts made specifically for this vehicle, not to mention those aggressive wide body flares that made it look more macho indeed. The RTR Mustang featured in the game is basically a normal 2018 Ford Mustang GT bolted with parts from RTR, meaning that despite the muscular body kit, it still behaves pretty much like the normal Mustang GT with a 5.0L V8 and a 10-speed AT but drivers are free to boost this car by all means necessary. That's tuning to you.



People who watched the Season Three opener of The Grand Tour will notice that Jeremy Clarkson drove the RTR Mustang and while the others had lots and lots of power, the Mustang, despite being the lowest in the power bracket, is the best handling of the three, although the only downside is getting slipped by palm oil, the oil that endangered orangutans in the wild. Since I watched the season opener of the show, I have grown interest on the RTR Mustang and now that this car's arrived in FH4, although different than the one Clarkson drove in the show, I have got the chance to drive a Mustang that is Ready To Rock. Although it behaves like the facelifted Mustang I drove earlier, there's no stopping me from falling in love with this hunk of American metal indeed.



So, now that I said everything about the RTR Mustang road car, it's time for some R-I-O-T with this machine. Time to raise a ceiling, boys and girls, because it's going to be a little weird and a little wild.



Man, what a night I spent with this car but anyway, mission accomplished. RTB.



I had a lot of fun getting to know about the RTR Mustang by all means and I had to say that this has probably one of the wildest nights I have ever spent understanding just how Ready To Rock this RTR Mustang is and in fact, it really is. So, now that the first RTR Mustang's on the book, expect two more RTR Mustangs drifting your way on FH4 so stay tuned.
