The final week of Upgrade Heroes has arrived, and to celebrate the occasion, the Festival Playlist features a renowned car that deserves to be in every garage – the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series.

AMG is renowned for impressive creations and the Black Series specification is the crème de la crème. The SL 65 with its potently endowed twin turbocharged V12 joined the ranks in 2009, and the result isn’t for the faint-of-heart: 661 horsepower with 0-60mph speeds in under 4 seconds and a top speed beyond 215mph.

The SL 65 AMG Black Series is a fitting choice for a DTM-style driving experience, and it’s yours for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. 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.


Here’s a closer look at the events and rewards in this week’s Festival Playlist, available to complete by July 20.

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.
