My FH5 Log: Horizon Heroes - McLaren Senna

Our Forza Horizon 10th anniversary celebration concludes with the showcasing of the hero car of Forza Horizon 4, the McLaren Senna.

Launched on October 2, 2018, Forza Horizon 4 made players experience Horizon UK in four seasons. Every week, the seasons have changed, giving players different ways to explore Britain while taking on weekly Festival Playlist challenges to win prizes as well as new cars. While exploring Britain, players can unlock Car Mastery perks on each car, experience unique challenges in Horizon Stories, purchase properties, and more. They can even create their own racetracks as well. 

Post-launch, Forza Horizon 4 was blessed with two expansions; the Fortune Island and LEGO Speed Champions. After that, the FH4 experience got powered up with the Eliminator battle royale mode and Horizon Super7. The latter pits players against seven player-made challenges to tackle. Clear them all, and you'll win a big prize. Forfeit, then it's game over.

With the launch of the Xbox Series X and S consoles in late 2020, FH4's been optimized for the latest consoles with higher fidelity graphics in 4K at 60fps as well as Quick Resume support.

About the hero car, the McLaren Senna is named in honor of the legendary three-time Formula 1 champion Ayrton Senna and it is the personification of McLaren's DNA at its most extreme, creating the purest connection between driver and car. The Senna is limited to 500 units and all have been already spoken for. As the ultimate McLaren designed to challenge the impossible, the Senna is a track-focused, road-legal hypercar that sets the new standard for McLaren. The 4.0L V8 Twin Turbo engine was sourced from the 720S but produces 800PS of power and 800Nm of torque, making it the most powerful internal combustion engine McLaren has ever built but it's not just the engine that powers it because with its outrageous weight savings as well as the lightweight carbon fiber core that forms it, it's the lightest McLaren ever made since the F1 with 1200kg of dry weight. This means that the Senna delivers a 668PS-per-tone power-to-weight ratio.

With the introduction done, it's time to take the Senna to the peak of the dormant volcano while battling against the most elite drivers. Let's see if it's still the king I'm familiar with since my Horizon UK shenanigans. Let battle commence.

Still the king.

Now that we get to know the hero cars of the Forza Horizon series, I think I had a brilliant idea with these machines and since I have found the ideal venue, it's time to bring all of the Horizon heroes for the ultimate showdown. The SRT Viper GTS, the Huracan, the Centenario, the Senna, and the AMG One will be clashing against one another on a sprint run at the Volcan, just to find out who is the ultimate Horizon hero.

Brace yourselves because this will be the decider that will end Forza Horizon's 10th-anniversary celebration. Who will be the ultimate Horizon hero? Stay tuned!
