Forza Horizon 4: The King's Treasure!

Having managed to purchase the Edinburgh Castle, one of the most expensive properties to buy in Forza Horizon 4, a treasure fit for the king awaits for those who gain control of the Edinburgh Castle and it's one of the most iconic racecars ever to emerge in the pre-WWII era. It's an Alfa Romeo P3.



So, what is the Alfa Romeo P3? Following the footsteps from its P2 predecessor, the P3 is the first single-seat racing car for use in Grand Prix racing. It's powered by a 2654cc straight-eight engine with Roots supercharger, producing around 215bhp of power with a bore X stroke of 65 x 100mm. It is capable of reaching top speeds of over 140mph. Its first year in 1932 saw some dominance with Nuvolari and Caracciola behind the wheel and despite being handed over to Scuderia Ferrari a year later, there's no stopping the P3 from scoring wins. It most famous feat is when Tazio Nuvolari crushed the Germans in their home turf; the German Grand Prix at Nurburgring, using the P3.



The Alfa Romeo P3 is by no means one of the all-time greats in Grand Prix racing and since this attainable for those who saved enough money to take over the Edinburgh Castle in-game, it's a grand prix car fit for a king or queen. In celebration, I was going to take this legendary Grand Prix car for a spin round Edinburgh but sadly, it's snowing outside and looks like this car's having trouble getting through freezing temperatures on the streets of Edinburgh, but hey, no retreat, no surrender, right? So, despite the snow, it's challenge accepted for the king's treasure.



That was quite challenging and when combined with this condition with this ancient performance the P3 delivers, that's something I might get my hands full but I managed to get away with my head up high as the P3 cleared its challenge.



The king's treasure lying in dormant in Edinburgh Castle. Whatever the reason is, getting my hands on the P3 is like having a golden crown in my head because it really is the crowning glory in Grand Prix history and I reckon you are having a blast with this ancient Grand Prix car.

If you got your hands with this crowning glory of Grand Prix racing once you took over Edinburgh Castle with an insane amount of cash, take good care of it. This machine deserves to be in better hands.
