Super Speed Car Pack
A brand-new Car Pack is hitting Forza Horizon 5! These four super-powered cars are here to do what they do best: lift some dust.
This is the starting line for a new era of Forza Motorsport. Whether you're playing the Builders Cup Career Mode, Featured Multiplayer, Free Play or Rivals, we hope you're already having fun building new cars and honing your skills through competition on the track.
More exciting cars are coming to Forza Horizon 5 as rewards for the Festival Playlist during Día de Muertos including two of Mexico’s most versatile stars, the 2010 Nissan Tsuru and the 1964 Volkswagen Sedan, as well as the completely Mexican lightweight speedster, the 2017 Vuhl 05RR.
Additional unique challenges are also coming, such as finding and collecting 10 of the newest collectibles, the Mariachi Gas Tank, hidden all over the Horizon Festival in the Autumn Week 2 season.
Take a closer look at the reward cars you will be able to unlock using your hard-earned PTS.
1962 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
Earn 80 PTS during the Día de Muertos Festival Playlist series. Available from October 12 until November 12.
A super model on wheels, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso is a slick, cool dream of a car every boy wants to see parked in its driveway. With a body designed by Pininfarina, it is not a surprise the 250 was owned by the likes of Eric Clapton and Steve McQueen.
With all the talk about its looks, you would almost forget it is a GT car as well. Even though it was not made for running, the Lusso sported a 3.0-liter V12 engine that could produce 240 bhp and it put them to work, earning the title of the fastest passenger car of the period.
This jet set icon spearheaded a new era of Ferrari production cars that were built for racing and traffic.
2010 Nissan Tsuru
Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Summer” Season on the Día de Muertos Festival Playlist. Available from October 12 until October 19.
Few cars are loved on a foreign land so much as the 2010 Nissan Tsuru is on Mexico; you can find one at almost every red light you stop at.
They can be famously seen as taxis all over the country (specially in Mexico City) and as highly customized street racers, versatility is what makes this car great.
Whether you are looking forward to putting neon lights underneath it and fit it with a massive wing (a classic Mexican take on this car) or just want to unlock it for its undeniable charm, an icon like the Nissan Tsuru might be the perfect way to celebrate Día de Muertos on its new home, Mexico.
2023 Meyers Manx 2.0
Nothing screams “car nostalgia” more than a sand buggy running wild on its favorite terrain. And no one knew how to do that better than Meyers Manx. Lucky for us, they are back after more than 50 years with an all-new electric sand buggy that puts new EV tech on a retro body.
While this vehicle is designed to have some fun in the sand, it does not shy away from power. The Manx 2.0 is equipped with 202 bhp which will be able to produce 240 pound-feet of torque to enjoy on any sandy landscape.
This icon of the past is ready to get groovy at the Horizon Festival in the Autumn season.
2022 Ford Bronco Raptor
The name may say “raptor”, but the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor resembles a T-rex better. Massive muscle built on top of even more muscle, this all-terrain vehicle has the soul of a muscle car and the body of a mountain.
Under the bonnet of this dino you’ll find a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that powers an indomitable special long travel suspension built to be put to the test any surface may bring or even jump in the air.
Hear the mighty roar of the Bronco Raptor with 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.
1951 Porsche 356 SL
Racing history in car form is the best way to describe the 1951 Porsche 356 SL. This vehicle has done it all. Run and win Lemans, do the Liege-Rome-Liege rally, and set an alarming number of records.
This car was fitted with different engines and could be set to different configurations according to the race it was about to run. Notably, three different chassis of this car were fitted with a 1.2-liter engine and the only one that remained won the 1,100-cc class on Le Mans.
One of the very first cars to run under the Porsche name, this coupe is a historical wonder worthy of any museum and even more so of your very own garage.
What's Next?
The Horizon Festival welcomes the biggest and most muscular cars from American Automotive history as well as 4 new Road Racing routes that will also be available in Rivals and Horizon Open. More details to come in November!

A New Hot-Hatch Appears at the Horizon Festival with an Eletric Twist
The 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 is BMW’s very first completely electric powered hatchback. Following suit to the German brand’s legacy, the eDrive40 is a rear-wheel drive street racer eager to shock the roads.
Although it’s an EV, this car’s 335 bhp motor will leave you stunned as you see it take from 0 – 100 km/h in just about 4 seconds, not bad for what’s thought to be BMWs entry level electric model.
The i4 is a true testament to putting a modern touch on the speed and precision legacy that we are used to seeing in a premier brand like BMW.
Unlock this marvelous ride from October 5 until October 12 with 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.

Tsuru Gets Thrashing
The 2010 Nissan Tsuru is coming to Forza Horizon 5 not only as an unlockable reward in the Festival Playlist, it is now also a new starter option for The Eliminator. Next time you enter this battle royale game mode, you will be able to start the competition behind the wheel of the Tsuru. Good luck becoming the last car standing!
A New Perspective for Drifting
The newest feature to improve your Horizon Festival experience is here: experience the brand-new Drift Camera feature available for the Chase View. Access this feature through “HUD and Gameplay” in the Settings Menu. You will be able to tweak and customize your experience by changing different settings.
Adjusting the sensitivity of the camera will modify the ratio of car angle to camera angle. Reducing the Look Speed setting will smooth out the camera’s movement due to changes in direction. Finally, the Drift Camera Range changes how the camera moves when the car is at peak angle.
Super Speed Car Pack
A brand-new Car Pack is hitting Forza Horizon 5! These four super-powered cars are here to do what they do best: lift some dust.
Plan your ideal track day and race away with the vehicles available in the Super Speed Car Pack.
2022 Volkswagen Golf R
What you are looking at right now is not only an amazingly fun hatchback ready to deliver a supercar experience on a budget ride, but the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R also the most powerful Golf ever produced and its 2.0-liter engine with 315 hp are here to prove It.
As the race car that it is, the Golf R is built with an AWD system and a magnificent braking system that makes it swift and nimble entering and exiting the tightest of corners.
Make this car feel right at home by driving it along the twistiest, bendiest, craziest tracks you can find at the Horizon Festival.
2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS
The most exciting part of the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the “GT” in its name. This means this car was designed with the intention of performing as best as it could on the track and outside of it. And the Porsche engineers really delivered on that purpose.
The GT4 RS was fitted with the same engine that you can find on the 911 GT3 with the slight distinction that it is now fitted in the middle. So you will now be delighted by the delicious noise that comes out of its naturally aspirated, 4-liter flat six that produces a monstrous 493 bhp.
And to add up to the improvements made on this machine, the stiffer suspension and heavily improved aerodynamics will make this one of the strongest candidates for your favorite track toy.
2020 KTM X-Bow GT2
Lean, precise, and lethal on the tarmac, the 2020 KTM X-Bow is the ideal weapon of choice for drivers having a go on the track.
Its Audi 5-cylinder turbocharged engine puts you in charge of 600 bhp, combine those stats with its incredibly light weight and you get an explosively fast vehicle that will cut through raceways like butter.
The X-Bow is locked and loaded to pierce through the competition at the Horizon Festival on the Super Speed Car Pack.
2019 Elemental RP1
When you get behind the driver’s seat of a 2019 Elemental RP1 you are trading a windshield for massive amounts of speed. And we believe that is a good trade.
Every bit of this car, including the driving position, was thought of and designed to make the car lighter, more aerodynamic, and, of course, much faster than any other you could meet on the track. The RP1 is said to generate as much downforce as an F1 car.
And all of the weight goes into the most important part: the engine. This car produces a whopping 370bhp through its 2.3L Ford Ecoboost turbocharged engine. Paired up with its 1,000 kg total weight and this car can blast from 0 – 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds
A unique ride that can finish a lap in the blink of an eye, the RP1 is a statement on racing and versatility.
What's Next?
The Horizon Festival welcomes the biggest and most muscular cars from American Automotive history as well as 4 new Road Racing routes that will also be available in Rivals and Horizon Open. More details to come in November!
