Forza Horizon 5 News

This week's teams are all captained by a unique 911. Which team is getting your vote this week?



Modern and classic come together in this remastered version of a classic 911: the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 by Gunther Werks. With enough high-tech to satisfy your espionage needs, this also features the 1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo.



Equipped with a 6-cylinder 4-liter engine, the 2021 Porsche Carrera 911 GT3 was born to run and to win your vote this week. For many the definition of what a Ferrari should look and feel like, this team's second half comes in the shape of the 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT.

This week we put together cars large and small, electric and gas powered to compete head-to-head for your vote. Make sure to choose your favorite pair in-game starting today!

Hyundai’s turbocharged vehicle fuses the speed and agility of a hatchback with the comfort of an SUV with the 2021 Hyundai Kona N. Aiding the Kona on this quest for victory comes VW’s all electric SUV, the shocking 2021 Volkswagen ID.4.


Rivaling this team of big baddies comes Ford’s iconic street racer, the king of the traffic light drag racers, the 2021 Ford Focus ST. To match the weight of its competitors, the Focus is teaming up with BMW’s future-like, electric SUV: the 2022 BMW iX xDrive 50.


Which team are you choosing? Vote today in the Horizon Backstage!

This week’s reward car on the Festival Playlist is the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, the larger, more extreme, and even faster sibling of the Blackwing duo. This V8-powered sports sedan is what automotive dreams are made of, pushing 668-horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque so it can go beyond 200mph. With racing-inspired trimming such as a low-level spoiler for high downforce, there’s no lifting this car off the asphalt.

Kicking off this round is the 1969 Fiat Dino Coupe, a car built to homologate the Dino engine designed by Ferrari. The second member of this odd couple of a team is the eternally charismatic and Guiness World Record Holder, the 1962 Peel P50.


Hailing from Brazil, it’s the car graced with the title of the "most beautiful Volkswagen in the world", it's the 1976 Volkswagen SP-2. Its teammate is covered in clever innovations and design such as its hydropneumatic suspension and swiveling headlights, the 1975 DS Automobiles DS 23.
