Forza Monthly Modern Horizons

We all love retro content, but it's also important to be thankful for the cars that are on the market today.

Modern Horizons is bringing a whole heap of current Reward Cars as well as events to try them out in!

One of the highlights is definitely a much-requested car from the Forza Community. This is the Toyota Yaris GR, a car which shares a lot of its DNA with the Toyota World Rally Championship car.

With these cars being modern, quite a few of them are electric-powered. You might think that will reduce their power, but you'd be wrong.

One of these cars, for example, has as much horsepower as most Lamborghini cars. Let's dive into the full list of Modern Horizons content.

Reward Cars

Starting with the Series as a whole, there's an exclusive car available to players in the form of the 2023 Kia EV6 GT. This electric car from Korea is available for 80 Points.

The futuristic Raesr TS from 2019 is the other car available from the overall series and is available for 160 in-game Points.
