"Forza Horizon 3's" latest downloadable content (DLC), Hot Wheels, is finally out, and it offers a different kind of thrill to avid players of "Forza" video games.

"Forza Horizon 3" is offering its players a new fun and thrilling way to enjoy the game with the arrival of its Hot Wheels DLC. Set on the remote chain of islands off the coast of Australia, Hot Wheels gives "Forza 3" players the opportunity to drive vertically.

The said DLC comes with loops, corkscrews, half-pipes, and boost pads offered in the orange tracks that spiral upward in Hot Wheels. Without question, Hot Wheels is a new way to enjoy "Forza Horizon 3" as it whisks players away from the usual sandy dunes and the arctic conditions of its Blizzard Mountain DLC.

However, Hot Wheels does not only offer a different kind of racing experience; it is also delivering welcome improvements to "Forza 3's" PC version. According to reports, the DLC has improved CPU performance and expanded the driving wheel support of "Forza 3" PC version. It is also said to maximize the graphics of the game, thanks to its new graphics options and additional informative descriptions that come with it.

Hot Wheels is now available on Xbox One and PC, and introduces 10 Hot Wheels cars to the game, including the 2012 Rip Rod and 2011 Bone Shaker. This is "Forza Horizon 3's" second expansion pack, following the equally successful Blizzard Mountain.

Hot Wheels comes with a price of $20, but Expansion Pass members who already made a one-time payment of $35 need not pay for it anew.

It has been learned that this is not the first time for Hot Wheels to partner with a video game. Before its appearance in "Forza 3" as the game's latest DLC, the brand has collaborated with Psyonix for the DLC of "Rocket League."
