Before we jump in, remember that you can [url=https://aka.ms/ForzaForums]discuss this week’s events and rewards over on the Forza Forums[/url] and we’re always open to your feedback, be sure to [url=https://aka.ms/SuggestionsHub]share your ideas for future content on the Suggestions Hub[/url]. And what better way to celebrate than with an incredible V8 muscle machine. This week you can unlock the [b]1970 AMC Rebel 'The Machine'[/b] with its flamboyant red, white, and blue paint scheme that made as much of a statement as its 340-horsepower V8. From the factory this Rebel was poised as a street legal drag race car and could run mid-14s in the quarter mile, while the distinctive ram-air hood scoop and hood-mounted tachometer contributed to its performance-minded attitude.

Now you can prove that it’s the definitive pony car in Forza Horizon 5 – see you at the drag strip! As a reminder, this week is your last chance to participate in our [b]Monthly Rivals[/b] and [b]Forza EV[/b] events, as well as unlock the overall Horizon Holidays series rewards. You have until [b]Thursday, January 5[/b] to get your hands on these cars, as well as the rewards discussed in this blog: [list] [*][b]80 PTS:[/b] 2022 Extreme E #22 JBXE [*][b]160 PTS:[/b] 2014 Ferrari California T[/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/0127d943f832f8cbe7a404dc3e0446c6de329455.jpg[/img] Here’s a look at the new cars for this week: [list] [*][b]20 PTS:[/b] 1970 AMC Rebel 'The Machine' [*][b]40 PTS:[/b] 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 by Gunther Werks[/list]Flex those muscles with the most powerful muscle car in production, the [b]2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon[/b].
