It’s the Final Countdown for European Automotive!

Forza Horizon 5 · published 4 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A car almost forgotten by time (and fans) gets a new chance to shine under the spotlight as the 20 PTS reward car for the final week of European Automotive.  

The boxy built 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E is a racer hiding underneath a traditional sedan look. This very sturdy car came in with a 5.0-liter V8 engine tuned to improve performance and to swiftly be able to move its two-ton body.   

Stop your brain from conceiving the idea that this car is slow due to its weight, its amazing engine allows it to jump from 0 – 100 kmh in just 5.5 seconds. A few tunes from your hand and you’ll have the 500 E blasting off at even lower times!  

This is your chance to score a racing hidden gem by earning 20 PTS until May 21. 

Enjoy the final week of European Automotive’s celebration of car-making history with new rewards to unlock and challenges to complete:  

SERIES REWARDS  

  • 80 PTS: 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro 

  • 160 PTS: 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 

SPRING REWARDS  

  • 20 PTS: 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E   

  • 40 PTS: Backstage Pass 

Remember that this is also your last chance to unlock the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 for 160 PTS. 

The 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 was built to become an electric comfort ride for families of all sizes, however, EV’s have the enormous advantage of having amazing acceleration and the ID.4 is no exception: this SUV can take from 0-100 kmh in just 5.4 seconds, not bad to take the kids to school in the morning or avoiding traffic on your work commute!
