It’s that time of the month again: a new Forza Horizon 5 series is rolling out – and this is a special one. Dubbed Italian Automotive, series 24 marks the long-awaited return of Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth, and Lancia to Forza Horizon 5. Some of Italy’s finest cars are up for grabs in the Forza Horizon 5 Italian Automotive Summer festival playlist.
What else awaits players in the Forza Horizon 5 Italian Automotive Festival Playlist? Let’s find out.
Forza Horizon 5 Italian Automotive Summer
