The 10 Best Cars to Buy in Forza Horizon 5

10Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (2011)

Class: S2 936 | Price: 2,500,000 CR

The Sesto Elemento has impressive stats, with 10 in Handling, Acceleration, Launch, and Braking. It might not be the fastest car, but it’s definitely up there and excels in everything else. Like the Mercedes-AMG Project One and Koenigsegg Jesko, this is a road race or free-roam speed activity car. The Forza Edition of the Sesto Elemento comes with a flat 25% boost for trick points you build up as part of Skill Chains too. You can pick up the regular model from the Auto Show, or you can get the Forza Edition variant from a Wheelspin or Auction House.

9Toyota Gumout 2JZ Camry Stock Car (2010)

Class: S1 900 | Price: 400,000 CR

When you arrive at a drift meet, you're likely to see the same types of cars: Supras, BMW M cars, and the odd Mustang. So why not turn up in something different next time? This 2JZ-swapped Toyota Camry NASCAR will do the job nicely.

Part of the Formula Drift pack that was released late last year, this Frankenstein's monster of a drift car needs judicious use of the handbrake to persuade it into a slide. Once it's broken traction, though, it feels like you're expertly power-sliding a canal boat. So if you're looking for a Japanese icon to drift around a corner, this is it.

8Ford Supervan 3 (1994)

Class: S1 820 | Price: 500,000 CR

If you've been wondering why we're recommending a 1994 Ford Transit Super Van 3, we'll tell you: it's actually a Le Man's prototype dressed up as a van. What's more, it's packing a Cosworth HB engine borrowed from the Benetton F1 team that was busy shepherding Michael Schumacher to his first world championship.

But we're not just recommending it for its historical interest. It's also a surprisingly stable and predictable vehicle, thanks to plenty of downforces, a low center of gravity, and race-spec tires. Although its stock tune is a little lacking in power—a problem easily remedied with a tuning chip that provides more power than you could possibly need. This makes the Super Van 3 safe even for longer races like the Goliath!

7Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 (2021)

Class: S1 900 | Price: 750,000 Cr

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a mid-engine, all-wheel drive electric prototype developed by Ford Performance and Vaughn Gittin Jr's RTR Vehicles. It was introduced into Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 6.

The Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 is our favorite electric car in the game. It has a big number that refers to its power and many wings, so it looks like a plane, and you can switch between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, which means this car gives you the option to do powerslides.

6Koenigsegg Jesko (2020)

Class: S2 971 | Price: 2,800,000 CR

The Koenigsegg Jesko makes its Forza debut in the game and it's among the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 4 right out of the box. If you manage to get one, it'll make for a great S2-rated car for races and speed traps. While driving along the main highway road in Mexico, we got the top speed to be around 283mph. And sometimes it went even faster! Any of the modern hyper-powerful Koenigseggs will do if speed is what you're after.

5Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer (1990)

Class: S1 830 | Price: 1,800,000 Cr

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you'll probably agree with us when we say that the Singer Dynamics and Lightweighting Study is one of the most beautiful cars in Forza Horizon 5.

The Singer has been well known for some time as an expert restomod company. However, the company's relationship with Porsche must have been a delicate one because it is rare to see its cars in video game form. Nevertheless, players are obviously very excited about this car being available in the game—you will need to save 18 million credits on average if you want to buy it from the auction house.

4Hot Wheels Baja Boneshaker (2013)

Class: B 700 | Price: 150,000 CR

The Baja Bone Shaker is an off-road version of the Bone Shaker. Designed by Abe Lugo and introduced in 2013, it's an exciting take on a fan-favorite design.

Forza Horizon 5 is full of challenges, including the infamous Baja 1000 off-road race. Naturally, you'll need a jacked-up Baja buggy to tackle the toughest terrain, like the custom Baja Boneshaker. It takes one of the most beloved Hot Wheels cars of all time and turns it into an all-terrain weapon with an offroad rating of 10 out of 10.

3BMW M3 GTS (2010)

Class: A 794 | Price: 250,000 Cr

The E90 BMW M3 GTS is the ultimate, limited edition version of the beloved E92 M3. It packs one of the greatest naturally aspirated V8 engines ever conceived and has been enlarged in the GTS from 4.0-liter to 4.4-liter. In addition, unnecessary fripperies like rear seats and glass windows have been discarded, saving 136 kilos in weight, and the entire thing is dipped in retina-assaulting Fire Orange paint.

2Hoonigan Cossie V2 (1994)

Class: A 783 | Price: 500,000 CR

The Hoonigan Ford Escort Cosworth WRC "Cossie V2", commonly known as "Hoonigan Cossie", is a front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive rally car developed by Hoonigan and based on the fifth generation of the Ford Escort manufactured between 1989 and 1992. Although not as powerful as the original Hoonigan Escort RS, the car's engine was built by Julian Godfrey Engineering and based on the engine utilized by the Group A rally car. MDV Specialist Engineering designed and fabricated the bodywork, while Cosworth electronics similar to those installed in the WRC Ford Fiesta were fitted.

As you'd expect from a car built by Ken Block, who's known for his sideways driving style, this thing handles beautifully whether off-road or on. It's perfect for navigating high-speed commutes between events, especially if you're prone to accidentally flying off the asphalt.

1Mercedes-AMG One (2021)

Class: S2 927 | Price: 2,700,000 CR

The Mercedes-AMG Project One is one of the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5, with a top speed of over 200mph and excellent acceleration. In addition, its F1 hybrid technology allows it to handle extremely well at high speeds, so if you’re looking for a fast car that can corner on a dime, this is the car for you. It’s also a good choice if you like to test your skills against Danger Signs, Speed Traps, and Speed Zones.
