1973 Alpine A110 1600S

Price: 98,000 CR, Stock: C/550, Setup: C/500, Color: Factory Blue

Alpine's only offering to the Forza Horizon 5 autoshow is a classic rally racer, boasting a 1605cc inline 4 Renault engine pushing 138 horsepower into a body that weighs less than a ton. In game, this car is also nimble in all terrain types, but the limits of 1970s tech puts this car in C rank. However, for all of the game's roster of rally cars, this one boasts a particularly low price tag.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale

Price: 300,000 CR, Stock: D/486, Setup: D/486, Color: Factory Red

And just as we kicked off with a Giulia proudly bearing the Quadrifoglio, so to do we end with one. Manufactured by Autodelta, Alfa Romeo's racing division, the GTA is another street version of a race-car. In game, however, the limitations of 1965 technology is displayed here; this car’s classic status justifies a price tag far too high for how slow and unwieldy it is at stock.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2

Price: 4,000,000 CR, Stock: B/641, Setup: A/800, Colors: "Targa Florio 130" Custom Livery by ParanoidDoge

Alfa Romeo in the 1960s were no stranger to making race-winners, and the Giulia TZ2 is no different. A powerful (for its time) 1570cc inline 4 has powered this 620-kilo beauty to class victories in endurance races everywhere from Sebring to Melbourne. In Horizon, too, this classic racer can tear up a racetrack well, provided you give it the necessary upgrades. The price tag is still a downside though, like many of these classic racers.

im working on a thought here but i think a crucial component of supporting and advocating for liberal and progressive ideas is you have to trust people to muddle through mistakes. i see a lot of people that clearly want *safety* for marginalized people but their proposals amount to putting everyone in a padded room with their hands on a well lit table forever. we have to sanitize media, we have to protect people. we can't hurt anyone, we can't risk anyone-- but we can constantly constantly surveil each other and make new rules against ever doing the wrong things. you know, the bad things, the dirty things, the things that hurt you and make you sick and ruin everything for everyone forever. it's our moral duty, isn't it? to make the world cleaner and brighter and safer?

i think, probably, it would help a lot of us to take a deep breath and consider that you have to make mistakes in life. and so does everyone else. you learn things and you fuck up and you pull through. and you can warn people, if you think they're going to make a mistake, but i don't think you have a right to stop them from doing whatever damn fool thing they're up to.

i think that's what's really bothering me about current progressive discourse, and a lot of the proposed policies. a lot of kids are really scared right now that any single mistake is fatal, and while they're not totally wrong-- the economy sucks, there's still a plague going on, and america is a carceral panopticon--it's still not their *right* let alone their moral obligation to build a system where no one has the freedom to fuck up.

i don't know what the solution is here. a world with more resources would be great. a world with less deadly risk, too. but i'd settle for a world where we recognized and applauded everyone's human right to do weird stupid bullshit and learn better--or not--on their own time.

1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale

Price: 15,000,000 CR, Stock: A/707, Setup: S1/900, Colors: "F1 Edition" Custom Livery by GhostKaio32

The street legal edition of the legendary Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 is an elusive beauty in Forza Horizon; its high price tag means that many players are turned away from this car, and not many oppurtunities have been presented to get it through other means, meaning that someone who has this car must be genuinely dedicated to the machine. Thankfully, I am that person, and the model pictured here is my pride and joy in this game; I've managed to turn it from a regular retro racer fighting the bottom of A-class to a bit of a monster destroying modern supercars in S1 with corner-heavy tracks.

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Price: 120,000 CR, Stock: A/775, Setup: A/775, Color: Factory Red

The Quadrifoglio, or four-leaf clover, has adorned the body and name of Alfa Romeo's highest performance models since 1923, and this high-performance variant of the manufacturer's sedan too bears it with pride. With a Twin Turbocharged V6 derived from Ferrari's contemporary V8, this car competes as a decently-priced luxury option in the top end of A-class' Super Saloons.

2001 Acura Integra Type R

25,000 CR, Stock: C/596, Setup: C/596, Color: Factory Yellow

The final Acura car covered here, since each brand is done in reverse chronological order, is the Integra Type R. A sporty variant of a classic Honda, with a few additions for the USDM, the Integra comes stock at the top end of the C class at a very modest price.

2002 Acura RSX Type S

25,000 CR, Stock: C/585, Setup: C/585, Color: Factory Black

This rebadged Honda Integra came into production in the US as a compact sports car. And it does its job admirably; the Acura RSX Type S puts out some pretty good C class performance for its incredibly low cost.

2017 Acura NSX

170,000 CR, Stock: S1/831, Setup: S1/831, Color: Factory Color White

Acura is the North America based luxury and performance division of Honda, and the first car we cover from this brand is basically a purely American design; the second generation of the legendary NSX was designed not in Japan, but in Marysville, Ohio. The New Sports eXperience in horizon 5 is a rather inoffensive mid-pack S1 car, with a somewhat distinctive design and a rather light price tag.

1968 Abarth 595 esseesse

35,000 CR, D/100 stock, D/100 setup, Factory Color (singular)

The only car in the Abarth section of the autoshow, the 1968 Cult Classic is one of the slowest in the game stock. However, with enough modification, you could, in theory, turn the car into something that can compete with supercars; I don't think it a particularly worthwhile endeavor. It looks incredibly pretty, though.

Cars can be pretty, can't they?

This blog, established on the day that this post was written, serves to document the entirety of the Autoshow in Forza Horizon 5, through individual pictures.

This is a sideblog; my main is @fin-stabilized.

Autoshow cars are defined as cars that are able to be purchased legitimately with in-game currency through the in-game shop, the "Autoshow". Cars that do not appear in the Autoshow (i.e. Event vehicles) will not be covered normally, and nor will DLC vehicles; If these are posted, they will clearly be marked as one or the other.

All cars are presented using pictures taking with the in-game photo mode by yours truly.

Most cars will be presented in factory colors; if a non-standard color is used, they will be noted, and if a third-party livery is applied, the author will be credited by Xbox Gamertag.

Any and all modifications made to the cars are my modifications.

Car in profile is a 2013 Subaru BRZ.

Car in banner is a 2017 Ferrari #25 Corse Clienti 488 Challenge, using the "Alpha Tauri BWT" custom livery by NullCRAZY 80.
