Forza Horizon 5 News

The fast feline available to unlock this week for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist is none other than the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT. This beast is equipped with a 5.0 supercharged V8 engine that produces 550 bhp.

While it may have the same engine as the regular XKR-S (which is already an updated version of the XKR), the GT Jag weights 40 kg less than its predecessor. Along with the strict diet, the XKR-S GT also had its looks changed with a new aero body that provides amazing grip on all its paws.



Only 30 units of this car were made for the American market and the UK only saw 10 in existance making this Jaguar an elusive and exclusive beast that has to be added to your garage this week.
