My FH5 Log: Ferrari de Mayo (Part 2)

The Series 7 update in Forza Horizon 5 celebrates Ferrari taking over the entire series playlists in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The next one in the Ferrari de Mayo takeover in FH5 is the Ferrari California T, a minor change version of Ferrari's open-top grand tourer, which is yours to drive after getting enough points in the Series 7 Storm Playlist.


The California T is the minor change version of the Ferrari California open-top grand tourer that was first unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This minor change premiered at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and the previous model's 4.3L V8 engine has been replaced by a smaller but more powerful 3.9L V8 turbo engine with Variable Boost Management that produces 560PS of power and 755Nm of torque while mated to an F1 dual-clutch gearbox. In addition, the California T features SCM3 magnetorheological damping system, F1-Trac traction control, and numerous improvements to make it more enjoyable to drive than the pre-facelifted California.


Gosh, I'm planning to compare this to its successor, the Portofino, but in the meantime, some rich kids on the block wanted to race this future classic in a sprint race. No regrets then. Roll the tape.


It may be a grand tourer but it's still a Ferrari.

Enjoy your new ride!
