Forza Horizon 5 News

When you put technology, performance, and design together you get the 2021 BMW iX xDrive50, the German brand’s all-electric SUV.

516 bhp maximum power, curved screens, and M Sport brakes, the iX is as close as we will get to driving a sci-fi spaceship.

An engine that oozes an urge to race and interiors that will make you want to call this SUV home, the xDrive50 will make you enjoy the ride twice as much as you do the destination.

Get inside this technological wonder from September 21 until September 28 by earning 20 PTS on the second week of the Festival Playlist.

Remember that you can always suggest additions and improvements for Forza Horizon 5 on the Suggestions Hub.

The 2021 Rivian R1T was built with two ideas in mind: the first being a completely electric pickup truck, and the second one is much simpler, dominating any terrain it puts its wheels on.

Being able to drive through sand, climb rocks, and even dive into 3 ft of water, the R1T is the best companion for your off-roading adventures.

Unlock this all-terrain, all electric vehicle by completing “Mudslinger's Scramble” EventLab on the Festival Playlist.

Up next is a complete list of everything you will be able to unlock on the “Autumm” season of Horizon Creatives.

“Super Speed” is the undisputed category of the 2016 Koenigsegg Regera and the 2015 McLaren 570S Coupé, both of which will be available on the Forzathon Shop this season.

Fit the mad scientist look while you are customizing and creating with the Lab Coat item also available for purchase on the Forzathon Shop.

The top of the 8 Series BMW line arrives to Mexico in Horizon Creatives.

The 1995 BMW 850CSi used an upgraded version of the engine fitted to the 850i, it was so vastly improved that BMW had to label this new motor differently, and it was now known as the S70B56. This new engine had a 5.6-liter capacity, making it bigger; and it produced 375 bhp which meant it was definitely meaner.

As an authentic touring car star, the 850CSi drives from the rear wheels and its massive power is controlled through a 6-gear transmission.

You can ride on this mean machine by earning 80 PTS on this series from September 21 until October 12!

With the upcoming release of Forza Motorsport on October 10, the Horizon Festival will celebrate by rewarding anyone who plays Forza Motorsport with the fastest Corvette ever created: the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray.

The E-Ray is a true freak of speed, its petrol-powered engine in combination with its electric drive unit, gives it a rampaging total 655 horsepower. Its potency matches any test you put it through, it can reach 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and it's capable of completing a quarter mile in a measly 10.5 seconds.

The E-Ray will be available to every Forza Horizon 5 player who downloads and plays Forza Motorsport. Those with Early Access to Forza Motorsport, included with the Premium Edition and Premium Add-Ons Bundle, will be able to redeem this reward starting from October 5. All Forza Motorsport players can drive it in Forza Horizon 5 starting October 10.
