More hotfixes, as well as a feature that was intended for v10.06, but needed a little more QA until now.

It’s important to look the part at the Horizon Summer Party and we’ve got 5 unmissable reward cars to keep you cool in the heat. Here are the cars coming to your garage in Forza Horizon 5's Summer Party!

TwinTurbos invites car fans to experience the process of how a DeBerti build comes to life, and the fun thrills that ensue once the build is complete. This DeBerti Ford Mustang GT is fitted with a custom TT Designs widebody kit, a Roush supercharged 5.0-liter engine, and 18 inches of Mickey Thompson tires on the back. Throw in a custom hood designed by Brad DeBerti, billet grille transforms, Bullseye Retro custom headlights and taillights, and an Air Design rear wing to complete the look, and the result is a modern muscle build that celebrates the joys of driving fast in style. It’s an impeccable list of high-end modifications, all which contribute to one truly menacing-inspired car.

This might be the most famous Australian car abroad. Not only has it been the star of a major motion picture set in a post-apocalyptic Outback wasteland (that would be “Mad Max”), it’s also been celebrated as the well-loved first car of Australia’s Eric Bana in the 2009 documentary film “Love the Beast.” As one of the first all-Australian designed cars from Ford, it was a no-brainer to send the XB Falcon racing. It battled the Holden LH Torana at the most famous Australian race, the Bathurst 1000 (although it's very similar predecessor, the XA Falcon, had a bit better luck). However, race and film career aside, the Falcon stands on its own as a car worthy of admiration. With a snarling 300 horsepower 351 “Cleveland” V8 (an American design locally built in Australia and celebrated in large graphics on the side proclaiming “GT 351”) rumbling under the twin-scooped hood, the GT has plenty of punch to back up its spot at the top of the XB Falcon lineup. With less than 1,000 XB GT hardtops produced, this iconic Australian muscle car is a rare bird.



Earn 20 PTS during the Week 2 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from July 27 – August 3.

Winner of the 2020 Hot Wheels Legends Tour, Riley Stair saw his 1970 Pontiac Trans Am made into a die-cast 1:64 Hot Wheels scale model released in 2021. The car was selected based on its authenticity, creativity and garage spirit. Between its aggressive looks and motorsport-inspired features, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom screams racing passion with a custom-fabricated tube chassis, large flared fenders, a monstrous iron block LSx V8 outputting over 1,000 steadfast horses and a four-speed manual transmission, which for the record was swapped from a NASCAR stock car! Stair’s build certainly stood out above the rest, which makes it a must have addition to your Forza Horizon 5 garage – test its limits on Hot Wheels Park and see just how fast you can push this power-hungry muscle machine.



Earn 20 PTS during the Week 3 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from August 3 – August 10.

It’s fun, it’s fast, and it’s ready for a road trip. The new Toyota GR86 features a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 in 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 140mph ensure the GR86 takes you anywhere in speedy time. It’s also fitted with a dual chrome-tipped exhaust, track-tuned suspension and 18-inch matte-black painted alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport4 tires that assist with traction control. With a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, the GR86 feels nimble around every twist and turn on the road.

Literally the last breath from the muscle car era, the Super-Duty 455 was the dream of a few enthusiastic Pontiac engineers wanting to maintain the performance image of the brand. This was done in the face of the OPEC oil crisis and GM management that had no stomach for anything that didn’t effuse economy. So, the SD-455 was snuck in as an option for Formula and Trans-Am models. While out-the-door performance was hindered by a mild camshaft and restrictive exhaust manifolds, the SD-455 was the perfect starter kit for anyone seeking to find and unleash horsepower. Underneath the emissions-friendly components are a heavily fortified block, forged steel connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, and modified cylinder heads. Basically, this wolf just needs its sheep’s clothing to be stripped off to really roar.



Italian Automotive celebrates its rich heritage in Horizon Mexico as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth and Lancia all return to the festival this August. We can’t wait to share more details about this incredibly exciting event in Forza Horizon 5 next month. Until then, we’ll see you at the Horizon Summer Party!

The latest French Canadian devlog...!



Some items on my progress list take longer than others, which was the case for this background. It took the whole week to complete it — but now all of Chapter 7's backgrounds are complete.

The rest of the backgrounds I need are not nearly as large, but there are still nine left. As I said before, I'll be implementing everything as I go, so my aim for this week is to complete Chapter 7. Even though Chapter 7 is pretty long, I can reuse a lot of the code I've already written for File 01's mystery investigation.

I'll begin working on Chapter 8's backgrounds this week as well!

Until next time!

We’ve already told you that the physics leap in Forza Motorsport is bigger than Forza Motorsport 5, 6 and 7 combined. This 48x improvement in tire fidelity results in a more fun and rewarding driving experience with how the car accelerates, corners, and brakes.


Previous Forza Motorsport games had only a single point of tire contact on the surface that moved at 60 cycles per second. This was problematic for curbs and rumble strips which could cause inconsistencies and unrealistic changes in suspension forces. This could also lead to tires briefly losing contact with the ground as they rolled over bumps resulting in unrealistic loss of traction.

Our new tire physics has 8 points of contact with the track surface running at 360 cycles per second. This allows tires to find grip on any type of uneven surface. The result is better drivability everywhere and realistic behavior on uneven surfaces like curbs.


Forza Motorsport features a variety of tire compounds to support great racing and different types of competition across several decades of production cars and race cars.


Production cars will have the option to use Street, Performance, Race, or Drag tires along with the Wet tire. The Race tire is further broken into three separate compounds – Soft, Medium, and Hard. Each compound has different grip and wear characteristics. The Soft compound has the most grip, but wear out the fastest making it ideal for a Qualifying tire. The Hard compound has the least grip, but lasts the longest making it ideal for longer stints without having to pit for new tires.

There is also a Vintage tire that is used for classic cars, but it is not a selectable tire for other cars.


We’ve also dialed in the tire heat model. The biggest change is in the grip fall off at extreme tire temperatures. There is a much smoother fall off as tires reach higher temperatures, which allows for better drivability and predictability even when you are overdriving your tires.


Forza Motorsport is coming October 10 to Xbox Series X|S consoles, Windows 10 and 11 PCs via the Microsoft Store and Steam, and Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Cloud Gaming (Beta). Pre-order the Forza Motorsport Premium Edition and play the full game 5 days early. Here is where you can discover the included add-on packs and the other versions of the game available for pre-order.


Steam players, add Forza Motorsport to your wish list today] to be notified of when pre-orders are available for you.
