Forza Horizon 4: 10 Best Cars Featuring Full Widebody Kits
Don’t miss the best Forza Horizon 4 cars that feature widebody kit upgrades, offering notable transformations to both their looks and performance.
Not only is this one of the largest, most open-ended games ever — particularly in the racing genre — but it also comes with an impressive array of sleek cars. There are now over 700 licensed cars that run the gamut in style and characteristics. With such a huge, virtually endless game, and a vast list of vehicles with detailed customizations, it can be tough to pinpoint which are the quickest in the lineup.
Updated August 9, 2024 by Stephen LaGioia: Forza Horizon 4’s thrills largely lie in being able to zip across the vast locales of Britain in a range of robust, sleek vehicles. The sprawling open worlds and silky-smooth frame rates make this all the more fun. Playground Games has since churned out many awesome new cars, some of which are among the fastest in the game.
And with the recent announcement of FH4’s upcoming delisting on Xbox and Steam stores on December 15th, 2024, many veteran drivers are returning to the fold for one last spin or two. At the same time, many newcomers are jumping on board and experiencing this deep, vibrant racer in all its glory for the first time. As such, we decided to refine and build upon this list of the most lightning-fast cars the game now has to offer.
18
Koenigsegg CC8S
564 BHP (Brake Horsepower)
This is the iconic car from 2002 that helped put the Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg on the map, and for good reason. It blazed a trail and left a legacy that FH4 players can experience for themselves — by way of finding treasure chest #5 in the Fortune Island expansion. This sleek supercar is certainly worth seeking out.
Beyond being the first of its kind to sport dihedral-synchro helix actuation doors, as well as bespoke, fine-tuned chassis, suspension, and brakes, it’s also capable of lightning speeds with just some basic tuning. It takes a bit longer than some others to get there given its more average acceleration, but once it gets rolling, it’s hard to beat. It boasts a speed statistic of 9.0 (S1883), and its handling and braking are solid, ensuring the ride will be smooth and stable even at warp speeds — which clock in at over 240 mph.
17
Bugatti EB110 Super Sport
611 BHP
With its all-wheel drive build and 3.5 quad-turbocharged V12 engine, this aerodynamic Bugatti is sure to assist many in blazing past opponents in Street and Drag Races in particular. These attributes help boost this beast from zero to 60 in under four seconds.
This limited-production supercar boasts some of the strongest launching and acceleration in the game, and players can hit speeds exceeding 220 mph rather quickly and comfortably. This can extend a few dozen mph more if properly tuned, even when sticking with the S2 class. The result of this is one of the all-time fastest cars currently in the game.
With this said, straightaways and flatter, smoother paths should be emphasized with this car, as its braking and handling aren’t quite on the same level. Still, this is well worth shelling out for the normally steep price of 1,700,000 at the Autoshow. Players will want to keep an eye out for any seasonal events or Festival prizes, as this car has already been featured a handful of times there.
16
McLaren F1
627 BHP
Both visually appealing and well-crafted, this UK-manufactured supercar can easily hold its ground with the best of them. It’s equipped with a 6.1L V12 engine and a highly aerodynamic build that pierces right through its path. The car has some history behind it, setting a production car top speed record in 1998, with blazing speeds of 240. The McLaren F1 also stands out for its carbon fiber-reinforced polymer monocoque chassis structure (CFRP, for much easier reading), and holds a central driving position for stability.

Forza Horizon 4: 15 Of The Best Cars For Jumps
If you’re a fan of getting airtime, these are the best cars for jumps in Forza Horizon 4.
The lightweight car can blast to a whopping 60 mph in just over a mere three seconds, and can swiftly top off at well over 230 mph. When it comes to non-pre-tuned cars at least, this is one of the best money can buy in FH4. Specifically, players will need to spend a cool 2,000,000 CR at the Autoshow, but it’s well worth saving up for.
15
Jaguar D Type
245 BHP
Don’t be fooled by the retro appearance of this Jaguar classic from 1956; this car can really move under the right circ*mstances. Players will want to hang on tight when buzzing across Britain in this thing. The seatbelt-less vehicle can easily reach a solid 170 mph, largely thanks to its 3.4 Naturally-Aspirated I6 engine and its aerodynamic design.
This antique will cost a pretty penny, as players will have to shell out a sky-high 10,000,000 CR at the Autoshow. Still, those wealthier players will likely find this a worthy investment. It’s a neat collector’s item that also performs pretty impressively.
14
Porche 911 GT3 RS PO
493 BHP
With a potent 493 brake horsepower (bhp) and a 4.0L Naturally-Aspirated F6, this supercar impresses in both performance and speed. When upgrading to an S2 998 performance index, this beast offers near-perfect statistics across the board, particularly in its lightning-quick launch of 9.9 and awesome acceleration.
This lightweight car can fly from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds, and hits a top speed of over 200 mph. It can be secured by reaching Tier 20 in Horizon Life: The Eliminator, and it’s worth engaging in this fight to win one.
13
McLaren P1
903 BHP
This prototypical UK car is a perfect fit for this game, and not merely because of its country of origin. Its solid handling allows it to take on those abundant winding roads and slippery Winter Season a bit more smoothly.
This gorgeous car has a Twin-Turbocharged Hybrid V8 engine, allowing it to launch with great speed and coast smoothly to up to a top speed of at least 250 mph. This one is a great one to shell out the 1,350,000 credits for, as it’s one of the (relatively) cheaper cars mentioned.
12
Hoonigan Ford “Hoonicorn” Mustang
1,400 BHP
It may have an odd name, and perhaps isn’t quite the looker like some of the sleeker cars that boast lightning speeds. Yet, this notable custom drift car, the Hoonigan Ford Mustang, manages to do a lot with a little.

Forza Horizon 5: 22 Fast Cars That Handle Really Well
Forza Horizon 5 players know that sometimes the fastest cars can be hard to control — but these ones handle smoothly and reach high speeds.
Originally an add-on car in Forza Horizon 3 and Motorsport 7, this underrated vehicle is pretty solid and speedy, considering its manageable price of just 500,000 credits. It’s one of the best “bang for your buck” cars in the game — at least for those who are all about speed first and foremost. This thing can quickly top out at 255 mph. It’s also one of the fastest accelerating cars to boot, going from 0 to 100 in just 3.15 seconds.
11
Ferrari LaFerrari
949 BHP
Who doesn’t love a sleek Ferrari? This Italian luxury car wasn’t just the automobile of choice for Ferris Bueller and his friends, it’s also one of the best cars that can be had in Forza Horizon 4. If players can get past the relatively meager acceleration, just about every other aspect of this 2013 Ferrari is superb.
With picture-perfect braking, players won’t have to worry about losing control when flying down the hilly plains of Britain or sliding across the snow. Even with its exaggerated top speed of 257 mph, it handles well. This classic can be scored at the Autoshow for 1,500,000 CR.
10
Rimac Concept Two
1,887 BHP
This Rimac C_Two was unlockable by completing 50% of the season during the Series 15 update, which allowed players to earn this car upon knocking out The Trial event. It was also obtainable during the Series 10 Spring Season. These days, it can be obtained by redeeming a pass at the Horizon Backstage.
The handling can be a bit touchy when flooring this thing (which is quite easy to do); however, its fantastic acceleration and launch tend to make up for some of this. The Rimac is capable of topping out at just over 258 mph, making it a solid successor to the debut Rimac Concept_One. This well-crafted, all-electric hypercar is a sleek and stout automobile that’s hard to overlook when it comes to speed — and most other attributes.
9
Koenigsegg Agera
946 BHP
This Swedish-made 2011 hypercar burst onto the scene as part of the Ship Bonus Car Pack in Forza Motorsport 4 and has made appearances in each subsequent Forza title since. What’s even better is the questionable handling of this thing has been tightened up quite a bit since its 2011 debut, going from a meager 6.3 to a more admirable 8.5 with the S2 920 performance index.
Players still have to deal with moderate acceleration — but find a lengthy highway or straightaway, and this car can get flying at a whopping 262 mph.
8
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
1,183 BHP
Players will be saying “adieux” to opponents quite a bit during races when driving this French-made hypercar by Bugatti. This monster comes with an 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine complete with large turbochargers and intercoolers, as well as an active rear wing to help maintain high-speed stability. Its acceleration is wild, shooting from 0 to 60 in just 2.4 seconds. This makes it an optimal choice for drag races.

Forza Horizon 5: Great Cars For Street Racing & How Much They Cost
Forza Horizon 5 is an outstanding racing game that has attracted millions of people with its unique gameplay, level design, and supercars
Players may want to avoid driving this on tracks rife with sharp turns and winding roads. However, one can certainly dominate with highway driving and longer, straighter paths, as it hits a wild top speed of 267 mph. Get this gem at the Autoshow for 2,200,000 CR.
7
Bugatti Chiron
1,479 BHP
Taking its spot as a Legendary-grade Bugatti hypercar, this Forza Motorsport 4 debut car has been made even more solid with the Horizon games, as its handling and braking have been refined. Its speed has dipped by a hair, but it still can reach super impressive highs of 267 mph. It has excellent straight-line performance as well as acceleration.
Like its Super Sport counterpart, this car is thus a similarly great choice for those more straightforward scrambles and Drag Races. Assuming steering isn’t a huge factor, this French-made car is top-notch. This fan-favorite can be obtained at the Autoshow for 2,400,000 CR.
6
Hennessey Venom GT
1,200 BHP
Lookout Ford — this Hennessey hypercar truly smokes its American competition with its mind-blowing top speed of 270 mph and its admirable launch to boot. Just like the two Bugatti models, however, it’s a good idea to mainly stick to straightaways with this one, as its handling and braking are not quite up to snuff.
Still, for those looking for a relatively cheap, speedy car, this sleek Venom GT is the way to go. It can be bought at the Autoshow for just 1,200,000 CR which is a decent deal considering it’s one of the fastest cars in the game.
5
Koenigsegg One:1
1,360 BHP
This superpowered car is relatively new on the Forza scene, making its first Horizon appearance in the 3rd game in the franchise. As is the case with that title, this is one of the fastest cars in the franchise — though its shaky handling in FH3 has essentially been swapped out for shoddier acceleration this time around.
Still, it’s tough to say no to a car that can brake and handle as solidly as this thing can, while still revving up to a top speed of 268 mph. Just be sure not to bash into too many cars or obstructions while taking off. As one might expect, the car isn’t cheap, requiring 2,850,000 CR at the Autoshow.
4
Koenigsegg Agera RS
1,341 BHP
Those not too fond of DLC won’t be thrilled to discover that Forza‘s fastest car must be purchased as part of an add-on pack (or as an inclusion with the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition), called the Car Pass. Still, those who deem it a worthy investment will have some fun in this monster of a vehicle.

The best part is, that one doesn’t have to fret about losing control when flying across roads at 280 mph as it also comes with some terrific handling and braking. It’s a good idea to bust out this awesome ride during Speed Trap PR Stunts, thrilling street races, and when flying off ramps.
3
Shelby Monaco King Cobra
400 BHP
Touted by the official description as having a “screaming 289 V8 and pushing out 400 hp,” this 1963 classic can certainly compete with the flashier supercars of the modern era.
Bolstered by some top-notch launch and acceleration, this little car can hit the ground running. It has reportedly hit up to 285 mph with various upgrades and tuning. This fun collectible can be nabbed at the Autoshow for 550,000 CR.
2
Mosler MT900S
530 BHP
It’s hard to beat a high-performance, solid-handling supercar that can also push almost 300 mph with the proper tuning. Equipped with a 7.0L supercharged V8 and 530 bhp, this speed demon has it where it counts.
The car also has perfect braking, enabling players to relatively smoothly come to a halt without utterly wiping out. Unsurprisingly, this is a “Hard-to-Find” vehicle that can’t be had at the Autoshow. Rather, players can find it as a Forzathon Shop-listed item or Festival Playlist reward.
1
Ferrari 599XX Evolution
740 BHP
This 2012 Italian supercar can burn rubber with its 740 bhp and a 6.0L naturally-aspirated V12 engine. It can reach a warp speed of 240 mph and is one of the fastest SR cars in FH4. It can zip down roads at lightning speed, and handles quite well in the process.
Players have reportedly customized and maxed out this beast to hit a warp speed of 320 mph. This custom tuning makes it the fastest car in the game overall. The car is so exclusive that it can’t be bought in the Autoshow, though it can appear as a listed item in the Forzathon Shop and as a Festival Playlist reward.
