Forza Horizon 5 News

[p]Get ready for the rodeo taking place during the next seven days at the Horizon Backstage! All four cars come from the US and are eager to flex their engines to get your vote. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Can you hear the rumbling of the massive 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine galloping into the ring? It belongs to the first car joining this week’s competition – none other than the 2024 Ford Mustang GT. To complete Team Ford’s lineup, we have recruited a prehistoric road companion – roar your way through Horizon Mexico in the 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]He is the night, he is vengeance, he is starting the lineup for this week’s second team, it’s the V8-powered 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. The second car featured in this team is the 1972 Chevrolet K10 Custom, a 4x4 pickup truck almost exclusive to collectors. [/p][p]Cast your vote today! [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Track day gets a whole new meaning with the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R, an endurance racing champion. [/p][p]Racing runs in this car’s DNA, and it was built to perform in almost any type of event, starting with endurance championships and extending to drag and street racing. [/p][p][/p][p]A car with this type of heritage and design philosophy couldn’t fall short in the power department. The 911 R passes the test with flying colors, thanks to its flat-six, 4.2-liter engine that produces 565 bhp. [/p][p]Optimization did not stop at the engine. Porsche also modified the suspension to improve the driving experience and tire duration. Body modifications improve airflow and downforce. All that’s missing is a driver daring enough to take this car to the limit. If you're ready, you can unlock it for 20 PTS until October 30. [/p][p]These are all the rewards coming to Forza Horizon 5 starting this week. [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]

The eternal car fan debate resurges this week at the Horizon Backstage! Are you Team Porsche or Team Ferrari? Which horse will take the win this week?



Team Porsche starts its lineup with the 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, a stronger and lighter version of the GT3 RS built for those who enjoy the smell of tires burning at the track on the weekend. Completing the team comes the 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 by Gunther Werks: a reimagined version of the 993 and Gunther Works’s first custom creation.



The Maranello locals start the game with the 2020 Ferrari F8 Tributo, a moving homage to the 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine crowned as Ferrari’s most powerful. Team Ferrari closes out this week’s bout with the 2014 Ferrari California T, a gorgeous convertible with the heart of a GT champion.

[p]Get your cameras ready to shoot your favorite Bentley vehicles! [/p][p]Take your best pictures of the 1991 Bentley Turbo R, 2016 Bentley Bentayga, 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports, or the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur, individually or as a group using Photo Mode, and share them on Instagram with #BentleyFH5.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]All cars will be gifted throughout the day via the Gift Tab in the Message Center, so that every player can participate! [/p][p]The best photos will be featured on Bentley's & Forza Horizon 5's official social accounts.[/p]

[p]Not all tracks are created equally; some of them are filled with dirt and stuff that’s, well, not tarmac. However, you will be pleased to know that your off-roading track day experience won’t be limited to regular roads, as the 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye is now available to unlock until October 23. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Rally isn’t only in this car’s name; you can also find traces of what this 911 was meant to do all over its body. To start, the Rallye’s suspension has been lifted by 2 inches, and an extra 1.2 inches can be added whenever needed. Look at this Porsche’s shoes, and you’ll find a set of Pirelli Scorpion tires built to be used on any terrain. [/p][p]With the same 3.0-liter flat-six engine that you can find inside a Carrera GTS, the Rallye can reach 100 kph in just over 3 seconds. [/p][p]With a fantastic engine, all-wheel drive, and a complete off-road package, the Rallye is ready to take on any road imaginable and become a champion. [/p][p]
