Forza Horizon 5 - Jaguar XJ220S TWR Is Almost a Pay 2 Win Car (S1-Class)

One of the new fastest S1-Class car in Forza Horizon 5. Say hello to the car pass Jaguar XJ220S TWR, currently the top 5 best S1-Class in the game. Almost a pay 2 win car, almost. And yes it has that OP Racing V12 engine swap so you can see where this is going. What's up with lightweight Jaguars being top tier in this game?
Played with keyboard.
2 tunes used, one on semi-slicks and the other on slicks.

Jaguar XJ220S TWR S1-Class performance review:
Almost a pay 2 win DLC car, need I say more? The XJ220s is surprisingly versatile with any builds and it is up to you to choose which that suits your style. And then of course there is the 1000+ HP racing V12 swap build that propels this car into the Top 5 fastest S1-Class.
Even the purist tunes I am showing in this video are very fast. It has everything from good acceleration and handling to great top speed. Though you still need some form of throttle control or the rear will slide.
This car does everything with no weakness other than requiring some form of throttle control.

It's amazing to see when 1/3 of the lobby is the same OP car (though in this case seemingly driven by potatoes). It makes me think: When is PGG gonna ban the Boneshaker already? 😂

[@XxWarmancxX]

Banning a car from being used online is basically saying it doesn't exist anymore. Properly nerf it by making its perf rating for higher than it currently is for the meta breaking tunes, (as in A class tunes get pushed into S class etc)

[@alb.88]

No joke half the lobby was filled with boneshakers in my game while i was trying out a personal tune, i was best of the rest lmao

[@litreocola6447]

People argue that nerfing certain cars or banning them is pointless since you should just find a better one, like wtf? Some cars are just better in every way and by like 2 or 3 seconds. I get that strong cars are necessary, however cars being 2-3 seconds faster than the average build is not what the devs intended for

[@nightdrvavenger2087]

@@XxWarmancxX they simply cant nerf cars, the pi system is based on a ai running the car on the track in the background, so if they change the ai to change the pi of one car they change it for every car .. and even if it would brought balanced to the PI system they would have to change all the cars from the events and showcases in the game cars to match the perf of the cars .. its just to much work

[@Amalia19]

If you play online regularly you'll eventually bump into him, he doesnt just upload his good races, all his races are good because he's very consistent. I can say this because i bumped into him several times and he claimed 1st place from 3 out of 5 races, while the rest are podiums. He might be not the fastest, but he makes the least mistake because his strategy is to be safe and put as much pressure to the racer in front of him until they make a blunder, then pull away from the rest of the pack.

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

@@Amalia19 This is exactly how races are won. Most people can't withstand pressure of someone so they'll crack quite easily. As long as you don't make mistakes, you can win.

Can the Jag be tuned to overcome that gap--assuming the Nissan is also optimally tuned? I have a Jaguar XK220, which I picked up a auction for 300,000 CR. I've been thinking about giving it a try, and that's why I watched this video. It'd be great if it's superior to the GTR. I haven't tinkered with it yet. I'll see what I can do with it this evening.

Stats are absolutely meaningless in this game. Example, changing into a 7 speed transmission magically gives the car tons of handling stats (when in reality, it doesn't change the handling). Sadly no, the Nissan GT-R is still very heavy after weight reduction and the game favors lightweight cars like this Jag.
