How to unlock the Picture Perfect achievement in Forza Horizon 4 - Definitive Guide

Quick description; I took photos of 200+ cars in under 45 minutes (Xbox One X + external SSD so mileage may differ).

Select any Drag Race and choose "Change Car". Using X you can sort on Car Type. Scroll all the way left to the first Car Type and choose the lowest level car like D, C or B if possible. Now start the Drag Race and if everything works, you will be matched with 4 to 8 different cars from this particular Car Type.

Once the race starts, hold UP on the D-pad for about 0.5s, move the camera back a bit (showing all cars in one shot) and press the right BUMPER/SHOULDER on your controller. It will quickly take a picture (not saving / editing / focusing as usual), tally all unique cars in the photo. Press B a few times and immediately Quit the Drag Race.

Now for the rinse & repeat; select the same Race, choose Change Car and select the NEXT Car Type. In some cases you can't easily change within the previously selected Car Type. By the time you done all Car Types (from left to right), you should have 160 to 220 photos already. If you are under 200, start from the left of the Car Types again and now select the highest possible car like X or S2. It matches you with different / unique cars for you photos.

As posted in the news section, this achievement will not pop or go live before Thursday June 18 and one should have/get an update for the game in the process.

Thanks for the bumper point. I've always been using A. This saves so much time.

Probably easier to sort by Car Type and go through each class E to X, avoiding trucks, vintage racers and any other category of small numbers of vehicles

Edit: also avoid forza edition cars, they tend to give the Drivatars the same car for fairness

I was going to leave a guide for this but obviously one has been done and my method is similar.

Another thing to to point out as the achievement is not out yet, if you've already done 200 different cars you should get the achievement on release as it's most likely retroactive like other achievements released for this game.

It definitely unlocks retroactively. So if you already took 200 pictures it will unlock next time you start the game.

Didn't unlock retroactively for me. When game launched I took pictures of 300+ cars. About two weeks ago went into the game and noticed all the cars with cameras above them checked my progress I was on 0. Now currently on 10 yay. I know it won't take that long but I've already done this amount once now gotta do it again. Also, house cheevo won't unlock as I've already bought the house.

Starting with S2 cars seems much quicker than D

To add to this - If you pick different styles of cars, you'll definitely get a good handful of new "other" cars every time you start a new race. Picking a rally car, picking a truck, etc.

Works great, started at Trucks all the way at the right and worked backwards through the vehicle types. One or 2 races were a bust but I got it before I hit the end of available types.

As said by @XxFrAsZeRxX, you should purchase 'Sunflower Meadows' house to be able to start taking promo pictures

Not sure if it’s because I’m on PC, but the game doesn’t have that RB option. Also, is there a way to check progress somewhere?

EDIT: You should probably mention you have to buy the house to start the promo first for those not aware.

When using a drag strip to quickly get photos, use the drag race on the beach. When you quit, you will be able to hit X right away whereas others you have to drive to the start.

Absolutetly right. This comment saved me lots of time. Also, if you forget which car class you just finished, press right on the Right Thumbstick while hovering over your current car in the car selection screen to see what class it is.

•Load up game
•If you have enough CR buy Sunflower meadows home this will give you Horizon Promo perk and Stay home cheevo its located at Ambleside on Map
•Take a picture of your car (up on the d-pad and press RB to take the picture ) this will give you the cheevo First promo-tion
•Go to Horizon festival Drag Strip
•Enter event SOLO
•Go to change car
•Press X for Sort i used Car type and worked my way from left to right which was Modern Supercars to Track toys and select a car from whichever type your in
•Press compete in this event after you have selected your vehicle
•Now you will race with 12 other cars
once the race starts press up on d-pad for the camera go infront of the 12 cars and take a picture of them RB to take the picture this will add to your Horizon Promo, Once you have done that exit photo mode press start and quit event, enter the same event again and repeat this process until you get 200 photos of each car
•This gives you different cars to take pictures of each time you choose a different type of car to race the highest pics i got in one race was 9 and lowest was 1 just keep trying different types of cars and you will have it in no time
Hope this guide helps 👍🏻

If you have already photographed 200 cars, then when you first enter the game you will automatically receive an achievement

If not, then the fastest way to take pictures of 200 cars is to drive different championships, as soon as the race starts, we take pictures of all the cars that have a camera icon above the car and we can immediately leave the race and start another championship.

You choose a drag race, for example on a highway, and then go through the classes of cars.
You need to take a photo of the starting grid and then exit the race. From 4 to 8 cars at a time, depending on luck and the number of already photographed.
