Horizon Cars & Coffee brings you the best place to ingest your mandatory dose of much needed daily caffeine in the Coffee Shop Location. This spot is piping hot with locations to take pictures of your cars and even entire convoys!
The Coffee Shop is riddled with the same murals you can see in different areas of the Mexico map. You can use the drive-through area for cool photo opportunities.
Look at the inside of the Coffee Shop and you’ll find a nice photo studio when you need a picture of your favorite rides with a clean white background. Special lights will also turn on at this section of the Shop at night for a unique illumination on your pictures.
All around the Coffee Shop you will see platforms designed to fit multiple cars; these are amazing for group shots to immortalize your convoys. In total, there are three platforms surrounding the Shop; one features another iconic mural seen across Mexico, while the other two use nature as their backdrop.
Unlockable a Steaming Outfit!
Nothing beats the sensation of putting on your most comfy set of clothes to get a nice cup of your favorite kind of coffee and going for a ride on the crisp roads of the Horizon Festival.
To help you with that first part, the Coffee Cup Outfit returns as an unlockable reward on the first week of the Festival Playlist.
We know how hard it is to put a smile on your face before you have had your first cup of the day, so we decided to include a premade smile on this outfit, so you don’t have to fake it until that first glorious sip.
The Most Caffeinated Drone Show Returns!
The Coffee Shop Location will also be the host of the returning drone show!
Visit the new Evolving World Location at night and watch the flying drones make the shapes of a coffee cup, a car wheel, and this series’ logo.
The drone show plus the spotlights that appear at night near the Coffee Shop will also provide unique photo opportunities for you and your convoy.
Festival Playlist
Five cars are gathering from all around the world to taste the Festival’s bean juice as this update’s Festival Playlist Reward Cars.
From exclusive flashy rides to convenient utility vehicles, this series’ rewards are a fun and diverse collection of international marvels.
2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Coupé
Even though the makers of this update’s Series Reward might prefer tea in their cups every morning, there’s no doubt the 2017 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Coupé is as potent as your favorite brand of jitter juice.
The 6.0-liter V12 engine roaring under this car’s hood will surely wake up the neighbors and wish them a happy morning with the smell of gasoline and burnt rubber. There’s no better morning routine than doing some skincare and then going all out on the track reaching 0-100 kmh in just 3.5 seconds.
Welcome the fifth car in the 50-year-old collaboration between Aston Martin and Zagato with our 80 PTS Series Reward Car for Horizon Cars & Coffee!
2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae
Created as a numbered series, only 350 models of the coupe version of the final Aventador were produced. We are of course referring to the 2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae, the ultimate Aventador.
Inside this raging bull beats a naturally aspirated V12 heart; the most powerful engine Lamborghini has ever produced, being able to create 769 break horsepower that nets a 0-100 kmh time of 2.8 seconds.
Take a sip of that Lambo espresso driving in the best and last version of the Italian brand’s former signature car: the LP 780-4 Ultimae.
1976 Volkswagen SP-2
Though it may not look as striking as some hyper cars; the 1976 Volkswagen SP-2 is still an exotic rarity worthy of a spot in your collection.
Born in Brazil out of the need of locally produced race cars, the SP-2 was created by VW Brazil using the same chassis the Brazilian VW Type 3 Variant was made on and fitting a 1.7-liter air-cooled engine.
Even though the car ended up heavier, its steel body provides an amazing cosmetic finish that let it stand out from other local competitors of the same category.
Try a cult classic and Latin American rarity formerly named the most beautiful Volkswagen in the world with the 1976 Volkswagen SP-2.
2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
Just when your morning jolt isn’t quite making it, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF clutches in to save the day.
The Miata RF is a fantastic convertible that is also such a pleasure to drive; its new Kinematic Posture Control allows it to (somehow) improve its cornering abilities compared to previous models.
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 181 hp and 151 lb-ft, plus it has the perfect power to weight ratio for a car of this kind. Coupled with its improved power steering system, the Miata is waiting for a few mods to become a drift king.
1973 Volkswagen Thing
Another air-cooled, repurposed, automotive oddity will be available to unlock this series as the final Festival Playlist Reward Car. This time, it's the German military truck transformed into outdoor explorer, the 1973 Volkswagen Thing.
The birth certificate of this car states its purpose was leisure, whether you wanted to take it off roading or on your everyday drives, the Thing would deliver fun every turn of its wheels.
Even though the stock version of this car is as stripped as they come, it will only take a few tweaks from your building mastermind to transform it into the off-roader of your dreams!
What’s Next
Time to rev those engines High-Performance Dailies. The next series coming to Forza Horizon 5 will feature more Festival Playlist Reward Cars, new racing routes, and new EventLab props including our latest collectible.
Made from a mixture of parts from some of Nissan’s greatest cars, the 1997 Nissan Stagea RS Four V is, put simply, a station wagon that can go fast.
Lurking inside of this vehicle is a 2.6-liter straight six engine and underneath it an all-wheel drive system; but not just any engine and AWD system as these are the same ones you can find in a Nissan R33 Skyline.
A fast vehicle with all the room in the back for your groceries, luggage, or whatever you can fit inside. The cherry on top is the wide array of improvements people make on this car using its already solid base.
1991 Toyota Sera
One of the most unique hatchbacks ever built has come to the Horizon Festival. Not only will the 1991 Toyota Sera amaze you with its unique engine, but it will also do it with the remarkable style it was built with.
You have probably never seen a hatch quite like this before. To start, the first impression you’ll probably get from this car will be made by its glass canopy rooftop; we can all agree it is not the norm for three-doored vehicles. Then, trying to pull on the doors won’t do you any good when getting in, as the Sera was fitted with butterfly-style doors.
To complete the set of extravaganzas, you’ll be greeted by a 1.5 L engine; though those numbers might not impress you, this was the largest version of the 5E-FHE engine ever made.
