My FH5 Log: The Extreme Collaboration (PART 4)

Here we are, the final batch of the Extreme E vehicles have arrived in Forza Horizon 5's Series 10 Hot Season Playlist as prizes and now that I got my hands on the final two vehicles, let's get to know them.


First up, it's the #125 vehicle driven by the ABT CUPRA XE team. ABT's involvement in DTM and ABB Formula E pushed them to create an Extreme E team in collaboration with Cupra, a sporty Spanish brand from the Volkswagen Group with an ambition for electrification. The team hired a Qatari driver named Nasser Al Attiyah and Jutta Kleinschmidtm, the first female Dakar Rally winner in 2001.


The last one and obviously the best one is the #6 car driven by the Rosberg X Racing team, the team that won the inaugural season last year. Spearheaded by 2016 Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg, RXR is the evolution of Team Rosberg, founded in 1994 by his father and 1982 F1 World Champion Keke Rosberg. With Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky and three-time World RX champion Johan Kristoffersson, RXR is a force of nature to be reckoned with.



With their quick introductions done, it's time to give the final batch of Extreme E vehicles a quick drive through the Mexican dirt, celebrating the completion of this wonderful collaboration. Roll the tapes!




A job well done to these two machines!


So, now that I've completed the entire Extreme E Season 2 collection in the game, it's time for one last hurrah, and with that...


It's time to give Extreme E's first champion car for a wild ride at the Hot Wheels Park. This should be great because these two icons have never been together...until now.


It's time to deliver the message to both Hot Wheels and Extreme E that they should make Hot Wheels Extreme E toy cars for speedo boys of all ages to enjoy. Sounds outlandish to me but I have a better way to spread the message; give the championship-winning offroader a wild ride on a massive Hot Wheels playset. Strap on, guys, because it's time to blow this joint.


MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!


At last, the Extreme collaboration is behind us, and congratulations to all those who have completed the entire Extreme E Season 2 vehicle collection. By the thick of it, I think the Extreme E franchise should make their own video game but thanks to Forza Horizon 5, feels like we don't need one...at least for now.

With this collaboration between Forza and Extreme E, let's hope they'll continue this awesome partnership for future Horizon adventures to come. Until then, let's enjoy driving our favorite Extreme E heroes in both Mexico and Hot Wheels Park. After all, this is Horizon and the adventure never ends.

This is the end of the FH5 Extreme E collaboration event but the adventure continues...
