The Hot Wheels update is one of the biggest updates coming to Forza Horizon 5 as it will not only be bringing new cars but also four new biomes: Gaint’s Canyon, Ice Cauldron, and Forest Falls. The Horizon Nexus will be a new festival that will curate all the events in the upcoming expansion.

To become a Hot Wheels Legend, players will have to enlist themselves in the Hot Wheels Academy, where everyone will be getting a B Class Hot Wheels Baja Bone Shaker (2013) to start their adventure. With this, players will be embarking on a new journey to complete new activities to unlock cars with an X Class rating.

According to Forza Horizon 5’s official blog, a total of ten new cars will be arriving with this expansion, including 21 Hennessey Venom F5, MT900 GT3, 2000 Hot Wheels Deora II, and more.

All of these new items will be available to every player who buys the expansion. This will also keep the Horizon Hot Wheels Park open all the time. Moreover, the expansion will even offer an enjoyable co-op experience.

Along with these things, the Event Lab will be improved to allow players to build their own tracks with blue and orange themes, colors that are commonly associated with Hot Wheels. All the required parts for building custom tracks will be included in the Hot Wheels Creation Kit, which is a great addition as well.
