For those who love to drive around in video games, no game is more welcoming and gives players so many options quite like Forza Horizon 5. The latest entry in the popular franchise created by Playground Games lets players drive around a large, open-world map based in the country of Mexico.
There are many ways that players can drive around, whether it's on the road or through the dirt. There are a ton of vehicles Forza Horizon 5 that players can purchase and acquire in different ways. While it's nice to look for a car that will make players feel good behind the wheel, it's okay if the player's priority is just to look good. Luckily, there are plenty of pretty cars to choose from.
Updated on March 1, 2022 by Chris Birsner: A few months after the game's initial launch, players continue to hit the roads in Forza Horizon 5 to explore the beautiful sights of Mexico. Since the debut of the racing game, players have been able to explore all different kinds of seasons and various updates, including a recent one that added sign language interpreters. The thing that hasn't changed is all the beautiful cars that are available for players to choose from as they progress through the game. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, here are a few more of the best-looking cars in Forza Horizon 5.
15 Radical RXC Turbo
Some of the coolest vehicles in Forza Horizon 5 look like they belong in a kid's toy box. That's exactly the vibe that the Radical RXC Turbo is going for. As noted from its name, this is a "turbocharged" version of the normal RXC. In simple terms, that just means it's a speedier vehicle overall.
It has a handling statistic of 9.6, and its braking is at 9.0. It is possible to acquire this car through both a Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin. In previous games, the car was worth 330,000 CR at the Autoshow. However, this vehicle is no longer available through that. Instead, it could be put up for bidding at the Auction House.
14 Mosler MT900S
According to the car's in-game description, George Lucas was one of the first individuals who bought the "road-going spacecraft" known as the Mosler MT900S. Originally introduced in Forza Motorsport 3 as part of the game's Exotic Pack DLC, the Mosler MT900S has since been part of every Forza game.
It is rather easy to get ahold of this bizarre, yet pretty vehicle. Players can buy the car at the Autoshow for 320,000 CR. The Mosler MT900S can also be won in a Wheelspin or bid on in the Auction House. One of the most beautiful cars in Forza Horizon 5, the Mosler MT900S' strength is in how it feels to drive as it has a 9.8 Handling statistic before modifications.
13 McLaren 720S Coupe
Two-tone vehicles never fail to be eye-catching. The McLaren 720S Coupe is a perfect example of this. The default look of this vehicle is a dark orange with an entirely black roof casing. The car shape itself is pretty cool to look at, and it is perfect for those who want to look amazing during a street race.
Its strength is in its braking at 8.8 and its speed at 8.4. Like the RXC, the car can't be purchased normally in the Autoshow. It can be acquired as a prize as part of the player's growing car collection. It can also be purchased at the Auction House, with prior game prices sitting around 340,000 CR.
12 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
The best-looking cars aren't necessarily the newest. Take the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, for example. It may not be the most impressive vehicle to drive, but this 1965 model adds a vintage spice among many of the modern-day vehicles that tend to be driven in these games.
This car is better off being used for a chill drive than a massive race, as its speed stat is only 5.9. However, as a Legendary vehicle, it's a big one to add to the collection. The car can be purchased at the Autoshow for 2.1 million CR. It is possible to win the car in a Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin.
11 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stringray
Yes, there is such a thing as a cheaper sports car that can be purchased in Forza Horizon 5. The Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stringray, formerly known as the Chevrolet Corvette Stringray Coupe, is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle whose appearance includes one color for its whole body and then a large stripe down the middle.
This car has a 7.6 launch statistic as it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds and 0 to 100 in 7.1 seconds. It also has a 7.2 speed, and can go as fast as 198 miles per hour. Despite it being a rare vehicle, the Corvette Stringray can be purchased at the Autoshow for only 65,000 CR.
10 Saleen S1

The term "supercar" refers to the most modern and juiced-up sportscars out there, and the Saleen S1 is one of the nicest-looking cars to be considered in that "super" category. The vehicle first joined the franchise in Forza Horizon 4 as part of the Series 36 update. It's the first car that Saleen developed after its S7 model stopped being manufactured in 2009.
Luckily, owning this vehicle is not too out of reach. When attending the Autoshow, players can purchase the Saleen S1 for a humble price of 200,000 CR. In addition, the vehicle is available to be bid on in the Auction House and can be won in both versions of the Wheelspin.
9 Apollo Intenza Emozione
The Apollo Intenza Emozione (which is Italian for "intense emotion") is the perfect vehicle for when players want to look intimidating on the raceway. The default look of this vehicle is jet black with yellow tires and a spoiler that makes the car look like it's about to be entered into a more professional race setting.
This car controls like a dream, with perfect statistics in both handling and braking. It also has a launch stat of 8.6, where it takes 2.6 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour and only 5.2 seconds to get to 100. The car can be purchased at the Autoshow for 1.5 million CR.
8 Toyota Supra RZ
The Toyota Supra RZ is included in the Welcome Pack DLC, which means it is a perfect car for players to begin their Forza Horizon 5 journey. The 1998 vehicle stands as one of the best-looking cars when compared against many of the more modern vehicles that are currently in the game.
The only downside for the Toyota Supra RZ, however, is that it isn't the best statistically. That can change, though, as it can be upgraded in various ways to have it work wonders for the player. Outside the Welcome Pack DLC, it can be purchased at the AutoShow for 38,000 CR. It can be won during a Wheelspin and can be part of the Auction House.
7 Acura NSX
Some cars can look good while not being incredibly flashy. The Acura NSX is a hybrid supercar that may not seem super, but it also has a rather sleek look. It is a darker red car that has a rather large windshield that looks to blend right into the black roof casing.
The NSX has a perfect Launch statistic of 10 and a solid acceleration that sits at 9.2. It can get to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and 100 miles per hour in 6.4, with a top speed of 191 miles per hour. The car is available at the Autoshow at a price of 170,000 CR.
6 Ultima Evolution Coupe 1020
The Ultima Evolution Coupe 1020, or Ultima 1020 for short, entered the Forza series back in Forza Horizon 3 as part of its VIP membership content. This makes sense since it seems like a VIP would drive one of the most gorgeous cars in Forza Horizon 5. The successor to the Ultima GTR 720, this vehicle can reach 60 miles per hour in 2.4 seconds and 100 miles per hour in 4.7.
While its base model is statistically lower than in past games, the car still clocks in with a handling of 9.5, a speed of 8.8, and a launch of 8.4. It can be purchased at the Autoshow for 300,000 CR, won in both Wheelspin variations, and bought at the Auction House.
5 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
There are times when it's fair to look at a vehicle and think it's not of this world. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento looks like it came from outer space, or at least of a future where cars have evolved from what they are now. Despite the strangely pointed hood and unique overall design, this vehicle debuted in 2011.
This is one of the best vehicles statistically in the game as it has perfect scores in handling, acceleration, launch, and braking. Speed is only at a 7.8, but everything else is what a dream vehicle is made out of. Not only can one purchase the vehicle for 2.5 million CR at the Autoshow, but it can be earned in a possible Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin.
4 Zenvo TSR-S

There's a supercar and then there is a hypercar. The latter is the best way to describe the Zenvo TSR-S, a 2019 car that moved so unlike any other vehicle that some in the testing field thought that it was on the verge of malfunctioning, according to the game's description.
Introduced in Forza Horizon 4, this Legendary vehicle is one of the best-looking cars in Forza Horizon 5 that can only be seen for a brief moment as it zooms past competitors. It has a 9.0 speed and an 8.7 handling statistic. The Zenvo TSR-S can be acquired from the Autoshow for 1.2 million CR, or it can be won in a Wheelspin or Auction House listing. It is also available at the Forzathon Shop during the summer.
3 Koenigsegg Jesko
One of the most popular cars Forza Horizon has ever seen, the Koenigsegg Jesko was unveiled to the world in 2019, and it happens to be one of the most coveted cars in the latest installment in the franchise. This car may look like an all-white vehicle from a distance, but it also has accents of light green throughout.
The speed and handling for the car are a perfect 10, while braking sits at a 9.0. Upgrades to the vehicle could get it, so it's the perfect car for drag racing scenarios. It can be bought at the Autoshow for 2.8 million CR and can be won in either of the Wheelspin types.
2 TVR Sagaris
Considering the previous installment of Forza Horizon was based in the United Kingdom, it's fitting that one of the best-looking cars in Forza Horizon 5 originated from the country. The TVR Sagaris is an RWD sports car that was made in 2005 but still fits in with the modern cars getting attention today.
The car doesn't have the best stats — its strongest category is Speed at only 6.7. However, its deep purple exterior and long front make it stand out amongst most vehicles. It can be bought at the Autoshow for only 86,000 CR or won on a Wheelspin. In addition, completing the "S1' Class Elite" accolade wins the player the car.
1 Bugatti Chiron
It may seem bizarre to some, but the Bugatti Chiron is so unique that it's hard not to put it among the best-looking cars in the game. The standout feature of this AWD hypercar is a roof casing that appears like it stretches down and wraps around the back of the vehicle to the bottom of the front.
This car has a perfect Speed stat and an almost-perfect Acceleration stat of 9.9. The legendary vehicle is worth 2.4 million CR, and can also be acquired through Wheelspins.
Forza Horizon 5 is available now on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
