My FH5 Log: Countdown to Hot Wheels (PART 1)

Series 9 of Forza Horizon 5 signals the countdown before the Hot Wheels Expansion arrives this mid-July, meaning you can expect two Hot Wheels cars and two American classic muscle cars in the series. A warm-up before the biggest ride of the summer.



The first ride of the Series is the Hot Wheels 2JetZ, which I won from the Wet Season playlist. Created by Luis Rodriguez and won the inaugural Hot Wheels Legends Tour in 2018, immortalized as a Hot Wheels toy, the 2JetZ is heavily inspired by fighter jets and high-speed vehicles that sprint through the salt flats. As the name implies, it was powered by a 3.0L 2JZ turbocharged engine from the Toyota Supra, a modified Subaru-derived 6-speed gearbox, and an F1-style twin radiator cooling. The result is 627HP of power and weighs 1,600lbs.


Having enjoyed the little backstory about a machine that is forever immortalized as a Hot Wheels toy, it's time to give the 2JetZ a quick dash to the finish line. Roll the tape.


Not the best attempt but that keeps me warmed up before the Hot Wheels ride of the summer strikes.

Enjoy your new ride!
