How to change car design in Forza Motorsport

Forza Motorsport boasts plenty of customization for players and one of the most popular features is custom car designs, where players can show off their creativity.

Whether it’s transforming a car to look like it has come straight from the racetrack or creating a vehicle that embraces a part of popular culture, there are plenty of options available in Forza Motorsport— particularly as you can download designs made by other members of the community.

Whether you want to design a car from scratch yourself or download a design created by another player, you can find out exactly how to do so below.
