My FH5 Log: Horizon Heroes - Lamborghini Centenario

Our Forza Horizon 10th anniversary celebration continues with the showcasing of the next Horizon Hero, the hero car of Forza Horizon 3 known as the Lamborghini Centenario.


Launched on September 27, 2016 for the Xbox One console, Forza Horizon 3 lets players to be in charge of Horizon Australia as they decide on how to expand the festival across the Land Down Under, from the outback to Surfers' Paradise. As the festival expands, there will be more races to take on as well as Showcase Events to tackle. Aside from that, they can create or disband convoys, enjoy Skill Songs, create bucket list challenges, finding new barn finds, so on, so forth. For the first time in the Horizon series, players can customize and name their own avatar driver.

FH3 featured new types of vehicles to take advantage of the Australian wilderness such as off-road buggies, trophy trucks, and utes. There's even three-wheelers added to the mix. It featured weekly Forzathon challenger where players get a chance to score cool prizes, including new cars. The fun doesn't stop there because there were two expansion packs added to the gameplay experience such as Blizzard Mountain, where Forza players can experience icy conditions for the first time, as well as the Hot Wheels expansion, where players can experience Hot Wheels action while getting hooked with iconic Hot Wheels cars.

What is the Lamborghini Centenario, you may ask? Named in commemoration of Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday, this Aventador-based special machine demonstrates Lamborghini's innovative design and engineering competencies. It uses the same 6.5L V12 engine as the Aventador's, only now it produces 770PS of power, making it capable of going from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds, .1 less than the normal Aventador, and onwards to 350kph. Because the car weighs 1,520kg, it has a weight-to-power ratio of just 1.97kg/hp. Shortly before the announcement of this car, all 20 coupes and 20 roadster variants are officially sold out, each costing 1.75 million euros plus tax.


Now that I had my word abou the Centenario, it's time to have a party like it's 2016 as the hero of FH3 prepares for a new challenge; enjoying the Mexican scenery against the best drivers in FH5. Let's see if this car still has the magic it possesses six years ago.


Still the boss, as expected.

With the Centenario kicking the Forza Horizon's 10th anniversary into high gear, next time, let's get to know the hero of Horizon UK, the McLaren Senna.

Enjoy your trip!
