Forza Horizon 2 : 1,000,000 Horsepower Nissan GTR!!
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:44Nick installs a quad-turbo W16 in a Lancer using an engine-swap menu containing every engine in the game.
- 4:53A Mazda RX-7 gets super-low suspension and oversized wheels, triggering airborne physics glitches.
- 7:40Removing body panels from several cars exposes missing engine models.
- 11:34An experimental Rolls-Royce lighting mod leaves taillight textures floating around the vehicle.
- 12:46Nick begins escalating the power with a modified Civic, then moves to a Supra.
- 17:48A heavily modified Charger Daytona heads to the airport strip for the final speed test.
An engine-swap menu containing every engine in the game is quite an invitation. Nick takes it literally, fitting a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X with a quad-turbo W16 before testing custom super-grip tires on and off the road.
AR12Gaming posted ten uploads this week, and the biggest new audience went to "Forza Horizon 2 : 1,000,000 Horsepower Nissan GTR!!". The title promises extreme power; the showcase also finds room for less practical customization. A slammed Mazda RX-7 launches into the air amid physics glitches, while an experimental Rolls-Royce lighting mod leaves taillight textures floating around the car. These are custom mods, not standard game features.
The comments make this a particularly recognizable AR12Gaming week. Viewers keep recalling Nick's Forza Horizon 3 developer-build experiments and the old Bugatti Veyron videos, with several asking for this revived mod series to become a long-running fixture. There's a substantial history behind those memories: his absurdly powerful Horizon 3 Veyron remains the channel's most-watched regular upload.
Elsewhere, Horizon 6 supplied Formula 1 and monster-truck engine swaps, while BeamNG brought a business purchase and an extreme-road challenge. The busiest upload right now takes a smaller-scale automotive turn: "I Opened a NEW Hot Wheels Store...", in Supercar Collection Sim, is attracting the most daily viewing, followed by the Holden GTS monster-truck swap.
Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is currently below half its usual pace, despite roughly 2.3 million views added over the week. Among nearby sports-and-racing-game channels, Danny Aarons and BlackPanthaa had larger weekly viewing totals, while SLAPTrain had a quieter week. For Nick, the distinctive pleasure was returning to an old game and finding fresh ways to make its cars behave very badly.
