Forza Horizon 5 News

The fourth and final week of High Performance is here! This is the week you can unlock the incredible 2021 Porsche Mission R. This car makes a clear statement, bringing together everything that the Porsche lineage has always set out to achieve and doing it with astounding performance numbers.

While the car is proof of concept and won’t enter production, the vision behind the all-wheel drive, lightweight and fully electric car has been to show how race cars could evolve over the next five to six years. Indeed, the Porsche Mission R, which is perfect for high-intensity sprint racing, is pioneering the future of electrified Porsche GT4 race cars with over 800 kW (1,000 horsepower), 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds, an overall top speed of 186mph, and super-fast charging to 80% in just 15 minutes.



Don’t miss out on securing the Mission R for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. You have until Thursday, March 27 to unlock it and all the other rewards available for this week only:

SERIES REWARDS

• 80 PTS: 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
  
• 160 PTS: 1993 McLaren F1

Welcome maximum power to your garage with the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera, a speed monster capable of producing astounding amounts of power.

The Agera’s mighty 5.0-liter, twin turbo V8 engine can produce 960 bhp and take this car from 0 – 100 kmh in just 3 seconds. To make this car as agile as possible, Koenigsegg’s team designed this car to be as wide in the front as it is in the back to improve balance when cornering. They also equipped the Agera with one of the best TCS made at the time.

This car is filled with aerodynamic improvements all over its body such as the Venturi tunnels on its rear, the adaptable wing, and the flat underside of its chassis.

The fast feline available to unlock this week for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist is none other than the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT. This beast is equipped with a 5.0 supercharged V8 engine that produces 550 bhp.

While it may have the same engine as the regular XKR-S (which is already an updated version of the XKR), the GT Jag weights 40 kg less than its predecessor. Along with the strict diet, the XKR-S GT also had its looks changed with a new aero body that provides amazing grip on all its paws.



Only 30 units of this car were made for the American market and the UK only saw 10 in existance making this Jaguar an elusive and exclusive beast that has to be added to your garage this week.
