The Festival Playlist from Back to the 90’s really is all that.
Get jiggy with a collection of four cars designed to represent 90s automotive design to the fullest.
Two out of the four cars coming in this update are thought to be majorly customized coming with different parts to add into your creations and make them your own.
1997 Toyota Soarer 2.5 GT-T
Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Summer” Season on the Back to the 90’s Festival Playlist. Available from October 10 until October 17.
90s extravagance car-sonified, the 1997 Toyota Soarer was the Japanese brand’s most tech advanced addition to their catalogue during that decade, being equipped with an EMV touchscreen and one of the first to use an integrated GPS.
Luxury and tech ooze from this car, but is it lacking muscle? AS IF! The Soarer is fitted with a 1JZ-GTE engine, meaning it has a straight 6, 2.5-liter heart beating underneath its hood producing 278 bhp and 279 lb-ft of torque driven to all four wheels.
Experience what sports luxury looked and felt like in the 90s: totally fast, and totally customizable. The Soarer comes with the Origin Lab front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and Forza front bumper and rear wing to create your ideal version!
1998 Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R
Earn 20 PTS during Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the Back to the 90’s Festival Playlist. Available from October 17 until October 24.
The 1998 Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R is a revised and improved version of the regular FTO: fitted with new bumpers, side skirts, and rear wing to improve aerodynamics and an upgraded suspension, differential and thicker antiroll bars to improve handling. If that combination is not to your liking, you have a selection of Forza and Bozz Speed body parts to customize it to your preference.
To get this car moving, it was equipped with a 2-liter V6 engine (one of the smallest V6s produced at the time). This car can reach 0-100 kph in just over 6 seconds and finish a quarter mile in 15 seconds.
As with plenty of things in the 90s, this car’s aesthetics are complemented by stickers. Enjoy showing off the Version R decals by unlocking this car!
1990 Aston Martin Lagonda
Earn 20 PTS during Week 3 “Winter” Season on the Back to the 90s Festival Playlist. Available from October 24 until October 31.
Aston Martin’s second attempt at designing a four-door saloon came in with the 1990 Aston Martin Lagonda, a car with an interior so fly to add to your collection.
Inside this car, you’ll find premium leather and advanced electronic instruments all over. In fact, this car was one of the first ones to include a digital panel. The outside of this car received a redesign for the 1990 edition, having more rounded corners while keeping the boxy look.
Put the Lagonda’s 5.3-liter V8 engine and drive as the fresh prince of the Horizon Festival, unlocking it for 20 PTS on the Winter Season.
1996 Subaru SVX
Earn 20 PTS during Week 4 “Spring” Season on the Back to the 90’s Festival Playlist. Available from October 31 until November 7.
The decade that saw the birth of extreme sports needed a car to match its radical attitude. Hence, the 1996 Subaru SVX was born, because what is more extreme than a car with a roof inspired by airplanes?
The SVX featured a 3.3-liter engine that produced 231 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque delivered straight to every wheel thanks to its AWD system. An almost stock version of this car took over the Alcan Winter Rally in 1991, driving all the way from Seattle to the Arctic Circle and back. That’s not even the most impressive fact about this Subaru! The SVX’s aerodynamics are so excellent that the car’s drag coefficient is 0.29, which is very close to that of hyper cars of the era.
What’s Next

Let's ¡GO! - Back to the 90's
Tune in this Friday to find out what's coming on Forza Horizon 5's upcoming update: Back to the 90s! Travel with us to the era of grunge, CD players, and rounder supercars.
Tune into Twitch on Friday, October 04 at 9 AM PT.
A JDM is on the Case: the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo!
Another JDM exclusive makes its way to the Horizon Festival with an engine mounted on the front and the drive put in the back, the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo is now available to unlock for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.
Sporting a 1JZ-GTE engine, this car produced 276 bhp and could run from 0-100 kph in just 5.7 seconds. If that amount of power was not to your liking, worry not! You can get on the case of how to go faster due to this car’s incredible customization potential.
However, this car was not only famous for its ability to move forward, but also for how good it moved sideways. The Chaser GT’s rear wheel drive and potent power made it an ideal choice for street drifters from all over the world.
Street racer, star drifter, grand tourer, the choice is yours to make as you unlock this car starting September 26 and until October 3.
Let us know what you’d like to see in Forza Horizon 5 in the future. Send your ideas and suggestions to our team through the Suggestions Hub.

Try Forza Horizon 5 During the Free to Play Weekend!
The Horizon Festival is looking for a new superstar! Try the Forza Horizon 5 experience by downloading and playing during the Free to Play Weekend on Steam.
From Friday, September 13 until Sunday, September 15, you will be able to fully experience Mexico’s most exciting roads, collect some of the world’s greatest cars, and complete limited-time challenges to earn rewards from the Festival Playlist on Steam.
Enjoying your weekend vacation in Mexico? Purchase the full game, and all of your progress will carry over!
New to Forza Horizon 5? Don’t sweat it! We have some tips to help you make the best out of your experience.
As you start the game, you will be quite literally thrown into the Horizon Festival from a plane as the cinematic initial drive sequence starts. When you finish this introductory stage, you will be prompted to create your own unique character. Then it will be time to pick your first ride; select one car between the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe C8, 2021 Ford Bronco, and 2020 Toyota GR Supra.
Next, drive through different environments while racing a plane during "On a Wing and a Prayer." This special kind of event is called a Showcase. Run across the checkpoints and through the finish line to receive a Hoonigan vehicle and move forward with the game's progression.
After your first Showcase event is done, you'll be prompted to pick between one of two Horizon Stories,: special missions with a narrative arc that progresses as you complete its chapters. Your options are:
El Camino - Into the Storm: Drive through a dust storm for photography. Vocho - The Vocho: Tracking down a long-lost Vocho.
Congratulations!
After completing a chapter in the story you chose, you'll unlock a ton of game modes and features. Now it’s time to wander around the Horizon Festival! Try out the Horizon Arcade for short and quirky mini-games. Multiplayer features will also be unlocked, allowing you to join a convoy with your friends and take on any race together. Customize your cars to your liking or try some of our community-created tunes to improve how your cars handle and feel around the different roads of the Horizon Festival. Give your vehicles a fresh look with our community's liveries, which are available to download, or have a go at creating one yourself! Complete Expeditions to establish Festival Outposts across the world map and unlock even more activities and races!
Last but not least, you will also unlock the Festival Playlist: an ever-changing selection of races and challenges that you can complete to earn points and unlock hard-to-find reward cars and items.

Festival Playlist
Hidden Horizons’s rewards feature an all-round collection of cars to take on any terrain.
Try two track superstars or two rally legends, all unlockable in each of the next four weeks and solve the mystery of which one is the fastest around our roads.
1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR
The first Reward Car available to unlock this series is a highly regarded rally legend. Solve off-roading mysteries with the 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR.
Equipped with an all-wheel drive system and built to be lightweight, this car handles like a dream on road and off it as well. Furthermore, the reduced weight helped the car make the most out of its 2.0 turbocharged engine, allowing it to reach 100 kph in 5.1 seconds.
The Evo III is a car that’s used to podiums having earned two second place finished in the Constructors Championship in 1995 and 1996 as well as a first-place finish in the WRC Driver’s Championship at the hands of Tommi Mäkinen.
Do not break its tradition, and keep earning wins in the Evo III at the Horizon Festival!
2022 Subaru WRX
Sporting the new Subaru 2.4-liter engine is the 2022 Subaru WRX, the latest entry in the Japanese brand’s rally- inspired sports sedan car series.
This redesigned version of the WRX produces 271 bhp and can go from 0 – 100 kph in about 5.7 seconds . As is tradition with this line of cars, the 2022 version of the WRX comes with all-wheel drive to accelerate as fast as possible and use every one of the 258 lb-ft of torque it makes.
Equip this car with the finest off-roading customizations and create your own rally champion.
1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo
The reward for the Winter Season of Hidden Horizons is one of the smoothest JDMs ever made. Make room in your garage for the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo.
This version of the Chaser sports a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine that is, of course, turbocharged. The 1JZ-GTE engine can produce 276 bhp and 268 lb-ft of torque .
This car’s other highlights include its amazing drive, courtesy of a phenomenal suspension that includes a limited-slip differential on the rear, and its front-engine/rear drive build that provides a ton of balance. Have a go at creating your perfect street racer with the GT Twin Turbo!
2013 Volvo C30 Polestar
One of Volvo’s most exclusive builds arrives at the Horizon Festival this series. An front-wheel drive, 250 horsepowered, ready-to-race version of the C30: the 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar.
The source of all its power? Elementary, my dear reader! It's a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine tuned by Volvo’s long-time partner in making things fast, Polestar.
To make the look match the inside, this car was fitted with a new, more aerodynamic bodykit, and a striking blue color. Polestar also added new brakes and stiffer springs to upgrade the driving experience.
Only 250 units of this car saw the light of day in America; get a hold of yours and discover the mystery of its performance!
What’s Next
Our next series will come with new badges, clothing items, collectibles, and cars! Flash back to another era in Back to The 90’s .
