Forza Horizon 5 News

[p]We have a battle specially built for people who love to spend their days burning rubber and improving their times at the track. Each of this week’s pairs feature a superb track toy and a super car to do some laps in! Which duo of limited-edition racers are you choosing? [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The first high-powered entrant to this week’s bout is the 2010 Noble M600: a handcrafted British supercar capable of reaching a brutal top speed thanks to its lightweight construction and V8 engine. The 2014 BAC Mono may look as simple as they come, but what you are seeing is one of the fastest road-legal track cars ever made, and it closes the first pair of limited production racers available this week! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The spiritual successor to the Noble M400 is here to shake the tracks. Rossion picked up the rights to the English speedster and infused it with an American soul - a Ford Duratec V6 engine - creating the 2010 Rossion Q1. Only 340 units of the final car in this week’s showdown were ever made, and now you might have another chance of getting your own. The 2000 Lotus 340R has no roof, no doors, and is all grip and power. [/p]

[p][/p][p]Another JDM exclusive makes its way to the Horizon Festival with an engine mounted on the front and the drive put in the back; the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo is now available to unlock for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. [/p][p]Sporting a 1JZ-GTE engine, this car produced 276 bhp and could run from 0-100 kph in just 5.7 seconds. If that amount of power was not to your liking, worry not! You can get on the case of how to go faster due to this car’s incredible customization potential.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]However, this car was not only famous for its ability to move forward, but also for how good it moved sideways. The Chaser GT’s rear wheel drive and potent power made it an ideal choice for street drifters from all over the world. [/p][p]Street racer, star drifter, grand tourer, the choice is yours to make as you unlock this car starting January 15 and until January 22. [/p][p]These are all the rewards coming to Forza Horizon 5 starting this week. [/p][p] [/p][p]SERIES REWARDS [/p]

[p]Every powertrain is a star in this week’s Horizon Backstage Vote. Both pairs feature a classic gas engine and a hybrid or fully electric companion. Pick your favorite duo starting today and until January 15 and unlock the winners at the Horizon Backstage Shop! [/p][p]A 1.5-liter straight-four turbocharged engine and a high-power synchronous electric motor give the 2021 MG MG6 XPower 300 bhp. Created with MG’s racing DNA, the MG6 XPower is the mightiest car on the MG6 line and the first car racing for your vote! A revamped and sportier version of the Kona joins the XPower in the first team. The 2022 Hyundai Kona N comes with a new 276 horsepower engine and a completely new exterior design that shows its eagerness to get a race going! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The second team shows up with a car made by champions. The 2021 Hyundai #98 Bryan Herta Autosport Elantra N is a 2.0-liter turbocharged car that has scored podium across different races and challenges. This team is completed by the all-electric 2021 Volkswagen ID.4. The German SUV comes equipped with a 295 bhp engine and space to make any road trip feel like you’re staying at a five-star hotel. [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]In 2007, Rossion Automotive bought the rights to the Noble M400 chassis and set on a quest to create a somewhat affordable American super car. After tweaking and tinkering with the M400 for a bit, the 2010 Rossion Q1 was born (assembly required). [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]A 3.0-liter Ford Duratec V6 engine sits in the middle of this rear-wheel drive car and produces 453 bhp and 390 lb⋅ft of torque. Thanks to its fiberglass panels, the Q1 weighs only 2675 lbs, which allows it to accelerate tremendously and excel at drag races. [/p][p]Unlock this American super car with 20 PTS from January 8 until January 15! [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]SERIES REWARDS    [/p]
