Factoring in these Danger Signs and PR Stunts—as well as the typically bumpy, mountainous terrain of Mexico—there's no shortage of wild rides to be had in FH5. Thus, it's a good idea to find cars that can sufficiently handle these leaps of faith when sifting through the extensive lineup of cars.

Updated June 23, 2024 by Stephen LaGioia: Following the blazing trails of its predecessors, Forza Horizon 5 hit the ground running and hasn't looked back. Fast forwarding to the present, and there's an absolute slew of gorgeous locales, awesome cars, and thrilling events to dive into. The momentum for this open-world racer has continued with various updates — the latest being the Universal Icons Car Pack.

Though Playground Games has also kept the updates rolling with other new content, including added events and neon-themed cosmetics. With many compelling reasons and opportunities to score some air and rake in precious skill points, we thought we'd update this list to include more of the best cars for jumps and Danger Signs in Forza Horizon 5.

23 Ferrari FXX-K Evo

Autoshow: 3,000,000 CR

Not only is this car among the sleekest looking in the game, it also boasts well-crafted aerodynamics to back up these aesthetics. With its front and rear bumpers, coupled with a fixed rear wing working with an active spoiler, the car yields ample downforce at high speeds.

The Italian car from 2018 boasts some superb stats across the board — offroad handling not withstanding — making it a great option for almost any task where speed and precision is needed. This added vertical force on the tires creates more grip and allows the car to travel faster.

It comes equipped with a 6.3L naturally aspirated hybrid V12 engine, with 1036 bhp (brake horsepower), a seven-speed transmission, and weights 2,800 lbs. It's one of the most expensive automobiles in the game, though it's worth saving up for, as it will almost certainly pay for itself with ample event wins and sky-high skill points. Keep in mind, this car currently requires the Car Pass DLC.

22 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series

Autoshow: N/A (Possible Festival Playlist or Forzathon Shop Listing)

This rare German-manufactured Benz makes for a great utility car, with a solid design that focuses on weight reduction and a lowered center of gravity. The enhanced engine output and ample torque makes it a fast and smooth ride even absent upgrades. The car can really hit the ground running for its 4,200 lbs, going from zero to 60 in well under four seconds.

It also boasts a top speed of 215 mph, and is a rare street-focused car that can actually handle itself decently offroad. While it dates all the way back to Forza Motorsport 3, this Benz holds its own as a well-rounded, resourceful car that can handle Danger Signs and hilly terrain. As a side note — the Forza Edition boasts far greater stats, though that version is still confined to Forza Horizon 4.

21 Jeep Trailcat

Autoshow: 75,000 CR

Serving as a reliable pick for various solo and multiplayer events, as well as offroad action, the Jeep Trailcat can plow through the most rugged of environments without breaking much of a sweat. Statistically, the car is an absolute gem in the offroad department, scoring a perfect 10 even without fine-tuning upgrades.

And while it's fairly "middle of the road" regarding most other areas, it actually sports decent speed for a (somewhat) cheap Jeep of its kind, allowing players to fly around rocky ground and dirt paths while staying near the front of the pack. With its flexible design and beefy tires, this vehicle typically grants ample lift when soaring off cliffs, hills, or Danger Signs.

20 Mosler MT900S

Autoshow: 320,000 CR

Its immensely sleek, lavish design should indicate as to what a speed demon the Mosler can be on the road. This American-made supercar dates back to Forza Motorsport 3, and continues to shine on FH5 on multiple levels. With a 7.0L supercharged V8 engine and 530 bhp, this car will simply leave all but the fastest of opponents trailing in the dust.

This doesn't just aid in racing, but it also allows players to clear those Danger Signs more effectively, as the car really hits the ground running. On top of this, its superb handling (9.8) enables drivers to line up their launch angle, making for higher, more controlled leaps. As one might expect, offroading is a little shakier with the Mosler—but it's a must-pick for Danger Signs in controlled environments.

19 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Autoshow: 380,000 CR

Like many supercars of its ilk, this Lambo can really thrive when it comes to ramps and jumps tailored to streets—though it proves less reliable for flying through hilly, offroad locales. Still, this car is an ideal choice as it can sprint to 60 mph in just a few seconds, hitting a sky-high top speed of 232 mph. This comes courtesy of a V12 engine, 700 bhp, and all-wheel-drive.

For these reasons, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is well worth the investment, especially for those road warriors.

18 TVR Cerbera Speed 12

Autoshow: 500,000 CR

This UK-assembled car may invoke a bit of FH4 nostalgia, but it still gets the job done when it comes to FH5's variety of events and stunts. The Cerbera can impressively ignite to a top speed of 240 mph, and hits 60 in just over three seconds.

While not really an offroad fiend, the Cerbera is built with solid braking and handling, which makes it much easier to deal with wilder, hilly terrain.

17 Aston Martin Vantage

Autoshow: 430,000 CR

James Bond would be thrilled to take a ride in this sports car, which makes for a versatile and reliable pick that is great for cross-country. At the same time, the Aston Martin Vantage can be quite good for setting up Danger Sign jumps, thanks to its stellar speed, great handling, and respectable launch statistics.

No longer requiring the Car Pass DLC like FH4, this car can now be secured by simply purchasing it at the Autoshow for a relatively budget price. Not bad, considering the high price of admission in earlier Forza games.

16 Ferrari 599XX Evolution

Autoshow: 2,600,000 CR

Surpassing the already swift standard 599XX, this speed demon can hit a solid 240 mph without breaking a sweat. Not only this, but its steady handling at high speeds ensures smooth, steady leaps over the treacherous jumps strewn about the rough Mexican locales. These qualities also make this luxury supercar ideal for Speed Trap PR Stunts and Speed Zone runs.

Above-average launching also helps this Ferrari when it comes to flying off ramps and going the distance.

15 Toyota #1T100 Baja Truck

Barn Find: De Otro Mundo landmark (southeast)

Making its welcome return as a Barn Find, this 90's classic is truly built to handle the often rugged lands of Mexico with its offroad prowess. Its suspension system is built to absorb the rough rides to and across the various Danger Signs.

While not exactly the quickest car when it comes to jumps, its springy nature more than makes up for this deficit, allowing it to get ample air as it propels off ramps and hills. It also helps that it's equipped with a more-than-capable launch stat to get it churning quickly.

14 Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4

Autoshow: 2,300,000 CR

This hypercar won't come cheap, as it demands a whopping 2,300,000 CR when buying at the Autoshow. Yet, considering it's one of the fastest, most potent cars in the game, it's well worth the investment.

This awesome Lambo is equipped with a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 engine and boasts 759 bhp. Factor in its solid grip around corners, and its ability to zip to 60 mph in three seconds, and one can see why it's a great choice for lengthy jumps.

The Centenario is also laced with a rear wing that deploys at 60 mph (small potatoes for this car), acting as a sort of makeshift glider that allows it to soar. A rare weakness comes in the form of its longer braking distance—though this is usually a non-factor when tackling those long jumps anyway.
