Creator Asphalt “Junk e” captures a little slice of my childhood with their Hello Kitty-covered Datsun 510. Before Nissan phased out the line in 1986, I was fascinated by these boxy Japanese imports. The cars kickstarted my fascination with Japanese culture, and when Sanrio shops began popping up in malls in the U.S., that fascination jumped to Hello Kitty, the iconic, mouthless mascot who is not a cat. Combining the two into one sensible Forza Horizon 5 ride is just perfect.
