Forza Horizon 5 News

Get ready to cruise along the Mexican landscape on two more select Italian classics that you will surely love. Don’t miss out on these amazing examples of Italian passion for car design available to unlock now.

A two-seater tiny race car is available for you to unlock right now on the Festival Playlist: Earn 20 PTS and start driving Abarth’s track day two-seater, the Biposto 695.

The 695 has two seats, three doors, and more power than it looks; the car is equipped with the already famous T-Jet 1.4-liter engine with upgrades such as a new Garrett turbo.

Abarth’s tiny beast weighs only 997 kg, which means it’s capable of putting good use of its small engine and racing 5-speed gearbox. Simply bellisimo!

This little, fun machine will be available for you to unlock on the second week of the Festival Playlist until August 31.

And available for 40 PTS, is the second Alfa of the season, the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C. Beautiful from every possible angle, this car is more than just a pretty face; it's completely carbon fiber chassis allows it to make the most out of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with an output of 237 bhp.

This car looks and handles like a dream, exactly what you want from an Alfa designed and built completely with racing as its purpose.
