There is no doubt that the 2013 Cadillac XTS Limousine is the longest car in the Forza Horizon 5 garage. After all, this is a limousine, so it is deservedly massive, though it’s no slouch on the open road with an impressive 300 horsepower in the stock version and an optional NASCAR engine upgrade. Practice your cornering from a new perspective with the most hulking vehicle you’ll find in Mexico – the limo can be yours for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.
This week is also your opportunity to unlock the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR – the most expensive car in the Forza Horizon 5 Autoshow priced at 140 million credits. A treasured masterpiece, both in-game and in the real world, only two prototypes of the 300 SLR were ever built, and it is currently considered the most valuable car in the world as just earlier this year, the 300 SLR was sold at auction to a private car collector for $143 million.
Both cars can be yours on the Festival Playlist, so be sure to unlock them and save a pretty penny before Thursday, December 29:
- 20 PTS: 2013 Cadillac XTS Limousine
- 40 PTS: 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR
The Weekly Forzathon Challenge celebrates an ultra-lightweight and high-performance supercar developed in Mexico, the 2017 VUHL 05RR.
