Forza Horizon 5 News

The 90s came and took wrote down “extreme” in their description, and Subaru took of note of that. To match the vibe of era they made the 1996 SUBARU SVX, a car that could (and did) run from Seattle all the way to the Arctic Circle.

Right of the bat is the SVX’s unique rood: The almost one-piece glass canopy built on top of this car was designed after aircrafts, which resulted in the car having different sections of windows.

The SVX came with a 3.3-liter straight six engine that put 231 horsepower into all wheels thanks to its AWD system. All the aerodynamic design created a car that had a drag coefficient of 2.9, pretty close to hypercars of the era.

Unlock a sample of the raddest era of all from October 31 until November 7.

Starting with the engine, the Version R’s 2.0-liter V6 included MIVEC technology to optimize performance and responsiveness. Mitsubishi also got their hands dirty working on the FTO’s handling by adding a limited-slip differential and sport-tuned suspension.

The Japanese company knows loves comes through the eyes first, so they equipped the Version R with a new body kit that not only looked stunning, but it was also a major aerodynamic improvement.

To top it all off, Version R decals were added in panels and the rear wing to make sure people know what you are driving.
