"A historically profound leader in both automotive design and sports car racing, the 1952 Hudson Hornet set new standards in safety, interior space, and handling. It also set stock-car racing win records that would stand for decades. By mounting the floor at the bottom of the frame rails, the Hudson Hornet had a lower center of gravity that contributed to handling that was a class above its competition. Furthermore, structural rigidity and safety were enhanced by steel girders that wrapped into the roof. In an age where V8 cars boasted about their horsepower, Hudson built a 308ci L6 with “Twin-H” power that brought 40 out of 48 wins in 1952. Doc Hudson, the “Fabulous Hudson Hornet” of Pixar’s “Cars”, breathed new life into the awareness of the Hudson Hornet’s history and will naturally inspire many “Cars”-based liveries in Forza 4. Hudson produced cars until 1957 but they will long be remembered as an innovator and race champion."
—Official description[1]

The 1952 Hudson Hornet is a RWD sports car featured in Forza Motorsport 4 as part of the July Car Pack, and in Forza Horizon 4 since the Series 4 update.

Synopsis[]

The Hudson Hornet is a full-size car that was available in numerous body styles in North America. The first model generation, produced from 1951 to 1954, is depicted in the Forza series as the 1952 coupé model. It is powered by a five liter inline-six engine with 160 hp (119 kW) and 260 ft·lb (353 N·m) of torque.

A prominent example of this car is the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet", a stock car model that was hugely successful in racing. The story of the Fabulous Hudson Hornet inspired the character Doc Hudson in the 2006 computer-animated movie Cars.
