Here are all the best cars to have in Forza Horizon 5.
Many players are still figuring out what cars they should ride and which ones to buy. But F55 has over 500 cars and there is something special and suited for every time of racers in the game. So even I have just started to explore the things the game has to offer. So I am not the best person to suggest to you which cars to invest in right now. But I follow a YouTuber called Don Joewon Song, whom I have been following since I started playing Forza Horizon 3 & Forza Motorsport 6. And even in Forza Horizon 5 (at the time of writing), he is the top number 1 player in the Horizon accolades leaderboard. So a best cars list from Don Joewon Song is the best you can find out there. So as my respect towards his work, I am using his video and opinions for this Forza Horizon 5 (FH5) Best Cars List So let’s get into it.
And as mentioned in his video, this list will exclude all DLC cars, so the list may cater to a wider audience who has the base game. And this best cars list is not about the top fastest cars in the game, but the best cars suited for different types of events the game has to offer. You will find here the best car in handling, fastest car, best gymkhana car, and so on. So with these cars, you may excel fast in your gameplay.
Here is the Forza Horizon 5 (FH5) best cars list, according to the legend Don Joewon Song:
Let’s look at Don Joewon Song’s opinions to understand why these are the best to own in the game. All the contents below will be taken from his video directly to reflect his opinions, and I will not alter any words to change them.
Don Joewon Song has driven some awesome cars in Forza across every game, including the F1 cars in the Forza Motorsport series, but nothing compares to this. Nothing even comes close. It’s the ultimate X-class car. It also has the amazing ability to rain skill perk points every time a Skill Song comes on. Just bank your chain at 50,000 points.
Time for something less serious. And it wouldn’t be a Forza game without having a wheelie good time. BMW Isetta continues to be bonkers as always. And fully upgraded it’s still faster than a Bugatti Chiron.
The Ford Bronco is amazing on nearly all Cross Country events in A-class. And to prove just how good it is here’s Don Joewon Song’ rival time on El Descenso Cross Country – 01:59.503
The Hoonicorn still remains the absolute best Gymkhana car. You can literally throw this car around and it will simply go.. okay. And just like all previous Forza games, the top speed is nuts – 270 MPH.
Not to be confused with the Forza Edition version. The original Exomotive Exocet Offroad is actually better. This is arguably the grippiest rally car you can find in an A-class and in turn, makes it super fun to drive. But for those seeking something faster when tackling scramble events, Don Joewon Song highly recommends the Jeep Willy.
The Ford Supervan 3 is by far Don Joewon Song’s favorite S1 class car at the moment. With insane glue-like tires, it makes it perfect for any short racing track. Also for those who hunt achievements, Don Joewon Song has shared a tune for the “Ford of the Wings Danger Sign”.
The Koenigsegg Jesko is the fastest car in Forza Horizon 5. Not only it can reach over 300 MPH, but it can also reach 309 MPH. Even with no run-up, it makes getting 3 stars on every speed trap a walk in the park.
We’re taking it down a few notches with the Ford F-450 DRW Platinum. Due to the truck having a stock 10 gear transmission, driving down the volcano becomes fast in D-class. Which makes it perfect for Cross Country rivals and racing. It also makes for a really good A-class Road Racing truck.
If one car can do it all, the nit’s the insane Hoonigan RS200. Rally/Drift/Stunts/PR Skills, it can do everything. And the best part is, all this can be done by using the same tune. But for those wanting to calm things down, Don Joewon Song has also created an S1 class rally tune.
The Aston Martin Vulcan is one of the best handling cars in S2 Class. With incredible grip and fast low gear acceleration. it’s perfect for every small circuit in the game. Which makes it really good for racing in Guanajuato (including when the road is wet). If you a looking for something faster, then Don Joewon Song highly recommends the Bugatti Divo.
