My FH5 Log: Leaning over

Having fought my way through the Series 3 update of Forza Horizon 5, I got my hands on the two exclusive rides on this Series playlist; the Zenvo ST1 and an ancient Mustang Mach 1. Now that everything's settled in the Series 3 update, it's time to get to know the heroes of this playlist.


Although made by the country that has more windmills than any other nation with its capital city heaven for cyclists, the Zenvo ST1 is a monstrous hypercar that is powered by a twin-charged 6.8L V8 engine producing 1,086hp of power and 1,054ft-lb of torque, capable of reaching flat-out speeds of over 233mph.



First introduced in 1969, the Mustang Mach 1 features distinctive reflective striping on the sides as well as a pop-open gas cap, dual exhausts, matte-black hood with simulated air scoop, and NASCAR-inspired cable and pin tie-downs. The updated version of the Mach 1, launched in 1971, features a honeycomb sportlamp grille and a urethane bumper, among many others. Engine choices range from the 302ci Windsor V8 engine to the more powerful 429ci Super Cobra Jet V8 engine. The Mustang Mach 1's shot of fame is from a scene of a 007 movie, Diamonds Are Forever, where James Bond escapes the cop chase by driving this car on two wheels to slip through the tight alley.



With the quick intro done, these prized cars found something to lean on; a quick race to showcase their strengths. Roll the tape.



Enjoy your new rides.
