Forza Horizon 5 News

This week we welcome two supercars and two electric marvels to the Horizon Backstage for a unique battle! Pick your favorite pair and vote in-game today.



The first car coming to this all-star lineup is the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, a supercar on the affordable side capable of going toe-to-toe with cars twice the price. The battery-powered machine partnering with the Z06 is the 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40. This car carries the legacy of the German brand with its traditional rear-wheel drive, but takes it to the future with electric power!



Their first rival is a super powered hybrid coming straight from Maranello! The 2020 Ferrari SF90 Stradale’s 986 horsepower comes courtesy of its 4-liter V8 gas engine and its three electric motors. This time the Prancing Horse partners with a white tiger, as Hyundai’s premier electric sports saloon completes this pair – the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 6.

[p]The penultimate week of the Summer Party brings an unmissable new car to the Festival Playlist, the all-new 2022 Toyota GR86 can be yours for 20 PTS! Did you know this was our 7th most requested car ever on the Suggestions Hub when it was released?  [/p][p][/p][p]And we can understand your requests; the GR86 is a car built with fun in mind, an ideal machine to take on a road trip! It was designed to be small, quick, agile, and an absolute hoot to drive.  [/p][p]Don’t let its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine deceive you, this car is as nimble as can be and will certainly give you a run for your money. [/p][p] [/p][p]The GR86 will be available from August 28 until September 04 through the Festival Playlist! [/p][p]Thinking about taking the GR86 for a spin? Don’t forget to style up first! The Forzathon Shop has some great options this week including the Confetti Canon Horn and a Bird Pattern Sundress.
