Today let’s look at the best cars in each performance class to get in Forza Horizon 5 (FH5). Performance Index is the backbone of determining your car’s capabilities in both the Forza Motorsport and Horizon series. Shortened as PI or P.I. this helps classify all the 500+ cars in the new game as previous ones to find out the performance of your car. This is calculated on basis of Speed, Acceleration, Braking, Handling, etc.
Performance Index system categorizes similar performing cars to a common group and assigns them alphanumeric values. This helps you to race with Drivatars in similar classes. This starts from the slowest cars from D class to the most modified best-performing cars at S2 class. Also, note that any car class can be increased by customizing the car to its limits. So you can technically get X 999 cars easily, but we will look at the base class values of the cars while you get them in Wheel Spins or Autoshow. So let’s jump right to it.
