Porsche Taycan Turbo S 2020

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 900
• Speed: 10
• Handling: 7.8
• Acceleration: 9.7
• Launch: 10
• Braking: 7.2
• Offroad: 4.4

While there are two variants of the Taycan Turbo S 2020 from Porsche, you’ll want to go with the “Welcome Pack” version for that higher rating and better stats overall.

Bugatti Divo 2019 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 958
• Speed: 9.6
• Handling: 9.9
• Acceleration: 10
• Launch: 6.2
• Braking: 9.5
• Offroad: 4.4

If you’re looking for great Breaking, Handling and Acceleration, look no further than the Bugatti Divo 2019. With a near-perfect score for all three, you’ll be able to zip around the map without fear of burning out and spinning off-track.

Hoonigan Ford ‘Hoonicorn’ Mustang (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 951
• Speed: 9.2
• Handling: 6.7
• Acceleration: 10
• Launch: 7.4
• Braking: 5.9
• Offroad: 5.5

If you’re less concerned about steady Handling and Braking, the Ford ‘Hoonicorn’ Mustang has awesome Speed at 9.2, and even better Acceleration at 10. A glass cannon of sorts, you’ll be able to fire down the race track and keep up with the best, but you’ll likely suffer against cars that have equal or better speed with nicer Handling.

Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car 2019 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 959
• Speed: 8.5
• Handling: 9.2
• Acceleration: 10
• Launch: 10
• Braking: 9.4
• Offroad: 4.6

Clocking in at the slowest overall on our fastest car list, the effortlessly cool Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car picks up with slack in other areas, with a perfect 10 stats score for both Acceleration and Launch, with a reliable 9.4 for Braking.

McLaren Speedtail 2019

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 910
• Speed: 9.6
• Handling: 7.4
• Acceleration: 6.8
• Launch: 7.4
• Braking: 7.4
• Offroad: 3.7

It wouldn’t be a Speedtail if it wasn’t fast, and the McLaren does not disappoint in FH5 at a 9.6 in Speed. Despite this, its other stats leave much to be desired, so you’ll likely need to do some serious turning to take it to another level if you want that reliability in other areas.

Bugatti Chiron 2018 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 927
• Speed: 10
• Handling: 7.9
• Acceleration:9.9
• Launch: 6.1
• Braking: 8.6
• Offroad: 5.0

The Bugatti Chiron features a perfect 10 Speed stat, coupled with the almost perfect 9.9 for Acceleration. While it suffers slightly on Offroad performance with a middle-of-the-road 5.0 and a slow-but-steady 6.1 Launch, you’ll ooze style as you take on your opponents in a flash.

Hennessey Venom GT 2012 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 911
• Speed: 9.7
• Handling: 7.4
• Acceleration: 6.4
• Launch: 7.4
• Braking: 7.8
• Offroad: 4.1

Got a few 1.2 million spare Credits lying around? The Hennessey Venom GT will get you where you need to be, and fast, at a dizzying 9.7 Speed. However, its other stats definitely leave something to be desired, but with some tune-ups, it’ll be worth every penny.

Porsche 918 Spyder 2014 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 920
• Speed: 8.8
• Handling: 8.9
• Acceleration: 10
• Launch: 10
• Braking: 9.3
• Offroad: 4.6

The Porsche 918 Spyder 2014 is pretty decently stacked across the board, only suffering when it comes to its offroad performance. While its Speed is the second-lowest on our fastest cars list at 8.8, you’ll see decent consistency across its other stats.

Koenigsegg Agera RS 2017 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 980
• Speed: 10
• Handling: 9.7
• Acceleration: 7.0
• Launch: 7.6
• Braking: 9.7
• Offroad: 4.3

Featuring a stunning design, this car is beastly in everything those looking for a fast car in FH5 would need – a 10 in Speed, a nifty 9.7 Handling stat, and 9.7 for Braking to ensure you’re taking on those corners with more confidence.

Rimac Concept Two 2019 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 963
• Speed: 9.1
• Handling: 7.5
• Acceleration: 9.9
• Launch: 10
• Braking: 9.3
• Offroad: 3.8

The Rimac Concept Two 2019 costs a pretty penny, sure, but the combination of a zippy 9.1 Speed, 9.9 Acceleration, and a cool 10 Launch will have you finish fast in a flash. Coupled with a cool 9.3 for Braking, you’ll be able to ensure those great drifts, and prevent an ill-timed break from having too much of a negative impact.

Koenigsegg One:1 2015 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 983
• Speed: 10
• Handling: 9.5
• Acceleration: 7.0
• Launch: 7.5
• Braking: 10
• Offroad: 4.3

One of the best cars on this list, the Koenigsegg One is worth the steep 2.8 million Credits you’ll need right out of the gate. With that perfect 10 Speed, 9.5 Handling, and 10 for Braking, it won’t need many tune-ups to help it to compete with the best.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport 2011 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 913
• Speed: 9.9
• Handling: 7.9
• Acceleration: 10.0
• Launch: 5.9
• Braking: 8.6
• Offroad: 4.9

The gorgeous-looking Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is a nice mid-point if you quite haven’t earned the Credits for the Koenigsegg One, with a near-perfect Speed of 9.9. It pales in comparison for Handling and Breaking, sure, but its 10.0 for Acceleration ensures it’ll still be able to keep up when it counts.

Koenigsegg Jesko 2020 (S2)

• Performance Class & Rating: S2 / 971
• Speed: 10
• Handling: 10
• Acceleration: 6.9
• Launch: 7.4
• Braking: 9.0
• Offroad: 4.4

The Koenigsegg Jesko is an absolute must for those looking to practically fly throughout Mexico, with an impressive 10 in Speed, Handling, and a reliable 9.0 for Braking stats.

What’s the fastest car in Forza Horizon 5?

Based on accumulative performance stats, the Koenigsegg Jesko of the S2 class appears to be the fastest. While both the Jesko and the Koenigsegg One is a 10 in terms of Speed, the Jesko beats it to the finish line with a 10 in Handling, too.

A fantastic alternative would be Rimac Concept Two 2019. While it only hits a 7.5 for Handling, it’s got almost perfect Launch and Acceleration stats, allowing it to take off much quicker and reach those top speeds in a flash.
