Forza Horizon 5 News

The winner of the 1983 manufacturer’s World Rally Championship is available to unlock on the Festival Playlist this week! We are of course referring to the road-legal version of the 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale. 200 units of this car were only produced to comply with racing regulations, and the outcome was certainly fantastic.

You can really get a feel of what it feels like to drive an actual rally legend when you jump into the driver’s seat of the 037 as it keeps the fiberglass body, rear-wheel drive, and tops it all off with the 2-liter 4cylinder engine developed by their countrymen in Abarth.

An Italian and rally classic that you cannot miss, this Lancia will be available until September 14 on the Festival Playlist for 40 PTS.
