My FH5 Log: Schuppan? What Schuppan?!

So, how's your FH5 Hot Wheels adventure progressing? As told, your goal is to score lots of medals before advancing to the next rank.

Anyway, having reached the S1-Class rank following your success in A-Class challenges, you have the chance to drive an unknown machine from the 90s known as the Schuppan 962CR.


What is the Schuppan 962CR anyway? The Schuppan 962CR is what some called the road-legal version of the legendary Porsche 962, one of the most successful Group C racing prototypes ever built. Vern Schuppan was known for winning the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans driving a Porsche 956 and his fondness for Porsches led him to the creation of the road-legal 962, which shares almost nothing in common with its Group C equivalent. Only six of these were made before the company shuttered its doors for good.

The Schuppan 962CR is powered by a 3.3L Twin Turbo flat-six engine that produces 550 horsepower at low boost and up to 850 for qualification use while running only on race fuel, which is unheard of for a road-legal vehicle like this in the 90s.

Having familiarized myself with the Schuppan 962CR's story, it's time to give this unknown supercar a twist and shout through Forza's very own Hot Wheels playset, experiencing what's like to be inside the road-legal Group C racer. Roll the tape.


Not the best attempt I've done but it's a good thing it survived.


The Schuppan 962CR may be a failed experiment crafted by a successful racing driver but it's proof that the 90s delivered us some crazy supercars like this. Such uniqueness must not be overlooked and this car deserves a lot of appreciation it needs.

Experience the 962CR by yourself in Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Expansion.
