The Most Stylish Cars in Forza Horizon 5
If your Forza Horizon 5 playthrough is all about style (and maybe some substance), you’ve gotta check out these rides to add to your collection. While ‘style’ is mainly up to personal preference, the cars we’ve included here are some of the best ports to the game.
Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro
The 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro (yeah, quite the mouthful, we know) is a phenomenal 6.5-liter V-12 engine beast. But besides what’s under the hood, we’re big fans of its sleek and extravagant kit, reminiscent of every child’s dream of a supercar.
2019 Bugatti Divo
As far as Bugattis go, the 2019 Bugatti Divo is quite the looker and we’re big fans of its sleek, futuristic, and menacing design chassis. In particular, the improved ducting and specialized rear wings sets it apart from other FH5 cars in this range.
2016 BMW M4 GTS
Prefer to rock something like the old-school Need for Speed games? The BMW M4 GTS is a sure pick. The track-oriented coupe isn’t the best performer in the game, but its looks are classic. Its impressive lighting elements and chassis with the huge wing at the back give it an impressive and daunting presence in any street race.
The Best Handling Cars in Forza Horizon 5
While speed is indeed one of the biggest determiners of who wins a race in Forza Horizon 5, handling and how smoothly you can navigate the car is also one of the most important aspects of the game.
Here we’ve selected a few of the top-performing FH5 cars in terms of handling in case you’re the type who prefers finesse and smooth turns over raw power.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento reigns supreme as the handling king in Forza Horizon 5, scoring 10 points across Handling, Breaking, Launch, and Acceleration. It doesn’t have the highest top speed in the game, but it excels at just about everything else.
2011 BMW X5 M Forza Edition
Impressively enough, the BMW X5 M Forza Edition performance SUV has some of the best handling and breaking in the entire game. It’s no slouch in the acceleration or launch stat either, making it a phenomenal Forza Horizon 5 car to try out.
1996 Ferrari F50 GT
The classic 1996 Ferrari F50 GT still claims one of the top spots for handling and braking, scoring 10 in each category. The racing variant of the F50 packs in a lot of power, though it is a little lacking in terms of speed but makes up for it with silky smooth handling around corners.
The Fastest Cars in Forza Horizon 5
Here’s where we’ve included the fastest cars in Forza 5. Most S1 and S2 cars on the Performance Index (PI) will get you going where you need to and quickly, but there are some obvious standouts from the expansive collection of cars in Forza Horizon 5.
Hennesey Venom F5
The Hennesey Venom F5 is a curvacious and sporty supercar, but it’s also one of the best performers clocking in a 10 in the speed stat and a 6.8 in acceleration. The good news is it’s got great handles and breaking too, and maxes out at around 302 MPH.
Rimac Nevera
The 2021 Rimac Nevera is an incredible set of wheels scoring high with a 9-speed stat, 9.2 in acceleration, and a crisp 10 in the launch stat. It’s the perfect companion for drag races and maxes out at around 303 MPH.
2020 Koenigsegg Jesko
The top dog of the speed category is none other than one of the most popular Forza Horizon 5 cars in the game, the 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko. Honestly speaking, the Hesko was bound for our most stylish list but it’s just too good a performer to be there.
The Koenigsegg Jesko is a fantastic balance of top speed and handling rating a 10 for both and a 9 for braking. Its acceleration is at 6.9 and its launch is a 7.4 rating so it’ll take a while to get to top speed, but when you’re there, it’s blazing through any track it’s on, reaching up to 326 MPH.
