Best Hypercars In Forza Horizon 5

Hypercars represent the pinnacle of automotive engineering. They’re the fastest, most extreme cars on the planet, equipped with the most powerful engines, groundbreaking aerodynamics and state-of-the-art technology. And Forza Horizon 5 gives players a chance to experience many of these cars. As of 2024, there are around 45 cars in the Hypercars category in Forza Horizon 5.

While hypercars are incredible on their own, there are a few of them that are better than the others. As a racing game, Forza Horizon 5 gives players the chance to build these cars as they like, giving these cars immense potential. Some of them stand out because of their incredible ability to remain drivable even at extreme speeds.

2023 Aston Martin Valkyrie

Aston Martin’s Latest Hypercar

• Acquisition: Auction House, Festival Playlist
• Price: 1.5 mn CR (Auction House)

Forza Horizon 5 recently added Aston Martin’s latest hypercar, the Valkyrie. It’s a hybrid-powered monster with a 1000 HP V12 from Cosworth paired with a 160 HP electric motor that uses batteries from RIMAC. But the car’s power output isn’t just what makes it such a beast. It’s an aerodynamic masterpiece, producing 1,800 kgf of downforce at high speeds.

Despite all its impressive technology and raw performance in real life, the Valkyrie tends to feel a little underwhelming in Forza Horizon 5. It’s fast enough, undoubtedly, but nothing about its acceleration or cornering feels special. It’s decent, a jack of all trades at best that will punish players if they’re going too fast around bends.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

One of the Best Sounding Hypercars in the Game

• Acquisition: Auction House, Festival Playlist
• Price: 16 mn CR (Auction House)

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is the most extreme variant of Lamborghini’s former V12 flagship (The Revuelto has replaced it). It boosts the car’s engine power to 770 HP over the stock variant’s 700 HP. Not exactly an impressive power boost, but the car’s chassis and aerodynamics is where the magic happens. It’s one of the fastest cars to lap the Nürburgring, and held the lap record for a while.

In Forza Horizon 5, the Aventador SVJ can be tuned to hit S2998 performance levels, but it’s best suited for S1900, where it almost feels like a cheatcode. The car’s monstrous acceleration can be a challenge to tame, especially around corners, but once mastered, it’s one of the best cars in the game. Its exclusivity makes it a great sell in the Auction House.

2019 Rimac Concept Two

The Fastest Accelerating Car in the Game

• Acquisition: Autoshow, Wheelspin, Auction House
• Price: 2 mn CR (Autoshow, Auction House)

For the longest time, the Rimac Concept Two has been among the most-driven hypercars in Forza Horizon 5. And with good reason. It’s by far the fastest accelerating car in the game. Its electric powertrain gives it instant acceleration, but it’s not just that it’s electric. The motors generate a combined 1,888 HP, which surpasses most hypercars even with their engines tuned for more power.

This incredible acceleration makes the Rimac Concept Two one of the best cars in the game for PR stunts, especially speed traps and speed zones. There are also some offroad builds in the game that make it great for offroad PR stunts.

2020 Koenigsegg Jesko

The Fastest Car in the Game

• Acquisition: Accolades, Auction House, Autoshow, Wheelspin
• Price: 2.8 mn CR (Autoshow), 3.8 mn CR (Auction House)

Koenigsegg has consistently been among the brands competing to build the fastest car in the world, against the likes of Bugatti, Rimac and Hennessey. It officially holds the record with the Agera RS, but claims its Jesko Absolut is the fastest car in the world, with a top speed of over 300mph. Regardless of whether or not it actually is the fastest car in the world, it is the fastest car in Forza Horizon 5.

Well, it was until the Hennessey Venom F5 came along. Both cars have tunes that hit around 305mph, making them the fastest cars in the game. However, the Jesko is much easier to drive than the Venom F5, and handles pretty well for the speeds it can reach.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno

The Best Lamborghini In The Game

• Acquisition: Autoshow, Auction House, Wheelspin
• Price: 3 mn CR (Autoshow), 3.3 mn CR (Auction House)

The Lamborghini Veneno is one of Lamborghini’s limited edition high performance cars based on its V12 flagship, the Aventador. It’s equipped with the same engine as the Aventador, tuned to deliver 750 HP. It features a souped-up carbon-fiber chassis that aids in weight reduction, and its aerodynamics continue to remain relevant even compared to modern hypercars.

The Veneno has consistently maintained its spot as the best Lamborghini in the Forza Horizon franchise despite being a 2013 car. While there are a few more cars that steal its thunder in Forza Horizon 5, the Veneno is still a very capable hypercar that is considered one of the best handling cars in the game. It’s braking is especially good with the right tune, making it an excellent choice for high speed circuits races.

2014 Porsche 918 Spyder

The Best Porsche In History

• Acquisition: Autoshow, Auction House, Wheelspin
• Price: 850,000 CR (Autoshow), 224,000 CR (Auction House)

The Porsche 918 Spyder is a work of art from the German carmaker. A member of the holy trinity (The Porsche 918 Spyder, The Ferrari LaFerrari and the Mclaren P1) of hypercars, the 918 Spyder belongs to a generation that birthed the true meaning of hypercars, setting the benchmark for hybrid technology in modern performance cars.

It’s one of the best looking cars in the world and holds its own even against modern hypercars and looks better than most of them. In Forza Horizon 5, The 918 Spyder is considered something of a meta car, consistently used to set lap records on the Rivals leaderboard in the S2 performance class. It’s considered one of the best cars for S2 Class road racing in the game.

2021 Mercedes-AMG One

The Best Handling Car In The Game

• Acquisition: Autoshow, Auction House, Wheelspin
• Price: 2.7 mn CR (Autoshow), 1.5 mn CR (Auction House)

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG One is among the most well-designed hypercars in the world. Revealed to the world in 2021, the AMG One is the cover car for Forza Horizon 5 and with good reason. The car officially holds the lap record around the Nürburgring, arguably making it one of the best handling hypercars in the world around a circuit.

In Forza Horizon 5, the Mercedes-AMG One is quite easily the best handling car in the game. It features two driving modes, Track and Highway. The Track focused mode brings all of its aerodynamics trickery into play, giving it incredible cornering and braking abilities. The Highway mode gives it better acceleration at the cost of handling.

2

2018 Mclaren Senna

Still The Best Car in the Forza Horizon Series

• Acquisition: Autoshow, Auction House, Wheelspin
• Price: 1 mn CR (Autoshow), 563,000 CR (Auction House)

The Mclaren Senna encapsulates the feeling of driving a hypercar perfectly in Forza Horizon 5. It was originally added to the series as the cover car for Forza Horizon 4, and was easily among the three best cars in the game alongside the Mosler MT900S and the Koenigsegg CCGT both of which are in the Extreme Track Toys category. And interestingly, it remains the best hypercar in Forza Horizon 5.

What makes the Senna tick in the game is its massive rear wing, equipped with active aero. The system actually works in the game, like it does in real life, giving the car extremely high downforce under braking and making it slow down and turn corners like it’s on rails and pick up speed again unlike any other car in the game. It allows players to take racing lines they can’t normally follow with other hypercars.
