Forza Horizon 5

Pounce the Competition with the Jaguar XKR-S GT.


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.

This week’s Festival Playlist events and their associated rewards are available until Thursday, March 13. Here’s the full overview:

SERIES REWARDS

  • 80 PTS: 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
  • 160 PTS: 1993 McLaren F1

AUTUMN REWARDS

  • 20 PTS: 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT
  • 40 PTS: Backstage Pass

As for the items on sale in the Forzathon Shop this week, don’t miss out on the 2013 McLaren P1 and 2011 Penhall The Cholla, as well as the Quick Draw emote and Red Suit outfit.

Capable of 0-62mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 192mph (310km/h), it’s blistering fast. For 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist, you too can experience decades of Lamborghini excellence and its winning motorsport heritage in a spectacular car like no other.

Earning enough Skill Score will also unlock new player Badges unique to Horizon Realms! 

Free Mode 


This mode puts the leaderboards to the side and focuses on players having a good time in their favorite Realms.

The Trial for this Muscle Car Reward Has Started!



That groovy sticker in the front of this car will never be one of the most amazing decals ever made for a car.

Unlock the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. Then, how about crushing the A-class with this amazing powerbuild?

First of all, swap the engine for a more commanding 7.4-liter V8. Then, we are chaging wheels for Mickey Thompson ET Drag Rims and use Rally Tire Compounds. Pick 345 mm as rear tire width. For the body, we are attaching a Race Front Bumper, Rear Wing, and Street Hood. Finish your build with a Race Differential, Weight Reduction, and adding a Twin Turbo with Anti-Lag.

Verdict has been made: the 60’s (and its cars) are still amazing!
