Forza Horizon 5 News

If there’s one car that should be on the top of your radar, it’s the 2023 Formula Drift #64 Forsberg Racing Nissan Z. This ludicrously powerful drift car from none other than three-time Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg produces an incredible 1,300hp with an endless supply of tire smoke.

Tuned for the drift track with a highly modified twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a widened body kit and exhausts popping through the hood, this Nissan Z is primed for competition. It can be yours starting this week once you reach 160 PTS on the Upgrade Heroes Festival Playlist. You have until July 20, don’t miss out!

But that’s not all! This week you can also unlock the 1992 GMC Typhoon. The 280 horses on tap allow the Typhoon to do things unthinkable for an SUV before its introduction, like blasting to 60mph in 5.3 seconds. A sleeper, however, the Typhoon is not. Slammed low to the ground and sporting a full aero kit, it couldn’t possibly be mistaken for the stock GMC Jimmy that it is inspired by, even at a distance.


See how the Typhoon fairs in Mexico by scoring 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist before Thursday, July 13. What other cars would you like to see in future Forza Horizon 5 updates? Be sure to upvote your top-requested cars on the official Suggestions Hub.

Don’t be fooled by its chassis. On the outside the 1991 GMC Syclone looks like another pick-up truck, but under the hood GMC dropped a turbocharged V6, and then bolted on a high-performance all-wheel drive system.

The result is a genuinely fast, remarkably grippy truck that is incredibly fun to drive – it even comes close to outperforming a lot of very expensive, exotic cars of its time while costing a whole ton less.

This classic AWD mini truck is the featured reward vehicle on this week’s Festival Playlist, and it can be yours for 20 PTS before Thursday, July 6! What other cars would you like to see in future Forza Horizon 5 updates? Remember to upvote your top-requested cars on the official Suggestions Hub.
