Forza Horizon 5 promises to set racing hearts aflutter and why not? The latest installment from Xbox Game Studios has opened to rave reviews since 9th November and showcases Mexico in a whole new avatar. Picture sprawling cities, jungles, Mayan temples, beaches, and more! The game now gets 520+ novel vehicles and here are 5 which you should not miss by all means!
The mid-engine C8 Corvette was a natural choice for Forza Horizon 5. The C8 is also included in the opening sequence of the game, while you steer the Sebring Orange version with its huge wing and wide-body kit through the dust storm. The C8 is one of the top cars to purchase for exploring Mexico. If you're seeking something bigger and better, wait for the LT-6 driven Corvette Z06 to be available as a download in the near future. Once that happens, you can tune your stock C8 engine to get the same output as the Corvette Z06!
The first-generation Bronco is exciting news for enthusiasts. The Baja 1000 rally was dominated by these marvels in the early years, especially between 1968 and 1972. You can bring back the design of the previous Baja trucks with the livery editor. You can also replace the stock V8 engine with the turbo-diesel V8 mill that makes 1050 lb-ft. You can even choose the twin-turbo racing engine with an output of 1,750 hp. You will also find a Bronco Badlands two-door version and the R racing truck that recently took part in the Bajaj 1000 last year.
Ken Block's iconic Hoonicorn comes alive in the game, a 1965 marvel with a 6.7 litre Roush-Yates twin-turbo V8 mill that dishes out 1,400 hp. Block and his pals created this machine for his mission on the Pikes Peak. Forza Horizon 5 offers various drifting-based challenges and this one should be in your garage for the same!
This one is a must for every enthusiast seeking a power-packed multi-purpose vehicle. The output of the car is 535 lb-ft and 877 hp and it handles fantastically in the game too! Mercedes-AMG first showcased the upcoming model in the real world in 2017 as Project One Showcar.
Apart from these top 5 picks, other top draws include the 1954 Mercedes Benz 300 SL with its iconic design and performance. You can also go for the 1985 Porsche 959 Rally Car or the icing on the cake- the 2017 Vuhl 05RR that gets a 2.3 litre engine making 400 hp and 380 lb-ft. The power-to-weight ratio is simply amazing, considering that it weighs lower than 1,600 pounds in all!
