In this guide we want to summarize with you which are, in our opinion, the best cars to drive in Forza Horizon 5: to be precise, which are the fastest?
Officially entered the gold phase at the end of October, Forza Horizon 5 is preparing to hit the market at full speed on November 9th on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC. And if you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can play it for free from day one, as with all major Microsoft exclusives. The Playground Games title is preparing to take car arcade simulations to another level, establishing new records of visual fidelity and aesthetic beauty thanks to the use of new technologies, such as ray tracing. In preparation for the arrival of Forza Horizon 5 on the market, we decided to prepare some guides to introduce you to the game, starting from the simplest on a conceptual level: let’s talk about speed.
High speed brum brum!
This guide is intended to introduce you to the world of Forza Horizon 5 by going to dissect which are the eight best cars of the Playground Games title, specifically the fastest. Considering that there will be more than 500 vehicles at launch, it is quite interesting to note that just a handful of these reach peak performance in terms of speed. A factor that will undoubtedly make them the most sought after in the exclusive Microsoft open world racer. In the guide we will take into consideration, after the speed statistic, all the others and finally the cost, to give you an idea of what you will face once you have the complete title in your hands. Let’s begin!
