About the 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO in Forza Horizon
Classic sports cars from this era share a recipe — light bodies, modest power, and steering linkages that talk to the driver before any electronic aid intervenes. 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO sits in that tradition: rear-drive when the segment trended that way, with a kerb weight that lets cornering balance, not horsepower, define the lap time.
1980s electronics changed performance cars: fuel injection, programmable ignition, the first wave of OBD diagnostics. Ferrari's late-decade releases reflect that, and Horizon's audio team often nails the throttle-blip character of these systems.

Where Ferrari Sits in Forza Horizon 6

For a Italy-built Classic Sports machine in the B class, this is one of the more interesting picks in the full 896-vehicle catalog.
