Discover the iconic Holden brand in Forza Motorsport and Horizon! Learn about their history and the powerful Australian muscle cars available to drive.
Hey there! So, you're looking to get into some of the Australian muscle in Forza? Let's talk about Holden. They've got a pretty cool history, starting way back in the 1850s as a leather goods maker before getting into car bodies in the early 1900s. By 1931, General Motors took over and eventually, they became GM-H. They really hit their stride in 1948 with the Holden 48-215, nicknamed the FX, which was a massive hit and helped boost new car sales in Australia by 70% in just a couple of years! By 1969, they'd already made over two million cars, and that number tripled by 2001. The Commodore, introduced in 1978, became Australia's best-seller, and their performance division, HSV, still makes some seriously potent variants for racing. You'll find Holden cars featured in a bunch of Forza titles, starting with _Forza Motorsport 3_ and every _Motorsport_ game since. They're also in _Forza Horizon 3_ and all the _Horizon_ games that followed, and they're even planned for _Forza Horizon 6_! Here's a look at some of the production models you might get your hands on: | Image | Year | Name | Drive | Engine | Power | Torque | Weight | Front/Rear | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ | 405 ft⋅lb
