My FM Log: Stowing at High Velocity

The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 and the Lotus Evora GT430 are the time-limited prize cars of Forza Motorsport's Velocity Tour update. Having obtained these prize cars, let's get to know them before stowing them at High Velocity. Get it?

Stowing at Low Velocity is the Lotus Evora GT430, obtained from clearing the update's Open Class Tour until the April 9, 2025 deadline. 

Unveiled in the summer of 2017, the Lotus Evora GT430 is top-billed as the most powerful V6-powered Lotus road car ever made.

Apart from the aerodynamic upgrades compared to the previous Evora GT410, the Toyota-sourced 3.5L V6 supercharged engine is recalibrated to produce 430HP of power and 325lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, it sprints from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and has 190mph of top speed.

The GT430 is offered also with the road-oriented Sport variant, which ditches its large wing and front splitter, resulting in 10kg weight loss and an improved top speed of 196mph, making it the fastest Lotus road car at the time of its release.

Stowing at High Velocity is the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, obtained from clearing the Velocity Tour until the April 30, 2025 deadline.

From its 1971 debut to 1990, when it was replaced by the Diablo, the Countach is no doubt The Greatest Lamborghini of All Time. Because of its crowning glory, Lamborghini decided to create a 21st-century remake of the icon using bits and bobs from the Sian.

The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, unveiled in the summer of 2021, is a modern take on the legendary Lamborghini Countach that made headlines at its 1971 Geneva Motor Show debut. 

The reborn Countach uses components from the already sold-out Sian, and its 6.5L V12 engine is armed with an electric motor and a supercapacitor, generating a total output of 808hp. It can go from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 355kph. 

All 112 units were sold out before its world premiere.

With their quick introductions done, let's drive these two around Bathurst before stowing them at High Velocity. Yeah, I know.

Stow & Go. When they ask you to stow them at high velocity, the only way to go is, you guessed it, high. Welcome to the High Mile.

Enjoy your new rides!
