Forza Horizon 5 News

[p]When the pony cars of its era were getting bigger, the 1971 AMC Javelin-AMX fit right in. No longer a unique model, the AMX emulated the look of the Corvette with bulging fender arches and a Trans-Am-inspired V8 capable of 330 horsepower and mid 14s in the quarter mile.  [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Javelin AMX is a classic muscle car and one of the last of its kind – an audacious pony car that drove for dominance at the height of the muscle car era and was considered a potent competitor at every racetrack. Now you can bring it and all 330 of its horses to the drag strip in Forza Horizon 5 by earning 20 PTS on this week’s Festival Playlist. [/p][p] [/p][p]You can also test drive the 2022 CUPRA UrbanRebel Racing Concept and set your fastest lap time in Forza EV Rivals on the Arch of Mulegé circuit.
