Complete Forza Horizon 5 Forza Edition (FE) Cars Guide

Here’s the complete list of the 20 Forza Edition vehicles in FH5, from electric Minis to 1,900 hp SUVs, along with their unique bonuses and benefits.

Jump To Section

Forza Horizon 5 recently made its shock debut on PlayStation after dominating Xbox and PC platforms since 2021. Although FH5 had already amassed over 45 million players before its PS5 debut in April 2025, it sold an insane 1.4 million copies on PlayStation in its first week, despite the game being nearly four years old.

What’s even wilder? Over 700,000 PS5 players splurged on the $100 Premium Edition just to get early access! Before it even launched, the game topped pre-order charts across the UK, Canada, the US, and a dozen other countries.

PlayStation gamers were keen for an alternative to the track-focused Gran Turismo games, and Forza Horizon perfectly fills the void. (Even if it still feels a little odd to Xbox/PC fans!)

Whether you’re just getting started as a PS5 player or racing since day one on Xbox, you’ll likely know that the Forza Edition (FE) cars are among the most sought-after rides in the game. We’ve created this guide to simplify getting your hands on them!

What Makes Forza Edition Cars Special?

FE cars are the premium variants of stock vehicles, often featuring unique liveries and special skill boost perks. Think of them as the collector’s editions of FH5’s already HUGE collection of (over 900!) awesome cars.

Horizon 5’s FE cars typically feature:

Skill point multipliers (like Drift or Speed boosts)
Custom visual upgrades you can’t get on standard models
Pre-tuned performance (usually far exceeding the stock version)
The sweet “FE” badge that’ll make other players jealous!

The tradition of special edition cars goes back through previous Horizon titles, but FH5’s collection is the best yet.

All The Forza Edition (FE) Cars In FH5

Each Forza Edition car features a specific skill, which we’ll break down below.

Some Forza Edition (FE) cars are readily available, while others might test your patience (and your wallet!) Although originally only 16 Forza Edition cars were available in FH5, following the recent updates and DLCs, there are now 20.

Since it looks unlikely we’ll see any new FE cars added to Forza Horizon 5, this should be a complete list. We’ll update the article if any surprises arrive before the Forza Horizon 6 release.

Let’s take a look at each FE vehicle in FH5, along with the skill they provide:

2011 BMW X5 M Forza Edition

Boost: Event XP

BMW’s X5 M FE, which comes with the VIP Membership, is the standout SUV in FH5. It’s ridiculously fun considering its size. The “thicc boi” can hit nearly 280 mph with the right tune and pack over 1,900 horsepower.

It’s also surprisingly decent for drifting. With the right RWD drift setup, the widebody family hauler will have you sliding through the corners with style!

The X5 M FE includes an Event XP Boost perk and useful car mastery perks for additional skill points. It’s versatile enough for road racing and off-road sections, making it an ideal choice for most events.

1953 Chevrolet Corvette Forza Edition

Boost: Clean Skills

The Chevrolet Corvette FE is a classic American icon with unique styling and modern upgrades.

For drifting, it’s actually pretty eager to get sideways. However, you might find the car naturally wanting to spin out on the twisties, making it surprisingly challenging (yet fun) for drift builds, and it certainly stands out!

For those who prefer top speed, when properly tuned, it can reach speeds over 260 mph.

It comes with a Clean Skills Boost perk, making it awesome for racking up skill points.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Coupe Forza Edition (Jordan Luka 3)

Boost: Speed Skills

Also known as the Jordan Luka 3, the ’69 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport Coupe FE is a unique collaboration car that doesn’t exist in the real world.

The stunning SEMA-style build features a widebody kit, massive tires (325 rear/305 front), and side pipes that shoot flames with the anti-lag system.

With the right tune (and a RWD conversion, of course), it makes for a great drifter. It’s especially impressive with a supercharger instead of turbos for smoother power delivery.

If you’re looking for speed, stick with the AWD setup. When fully upgraded, it’s capable of pushing out over 1,100 horsepower.

1969 Dodge Charger R/T Forza Edition

Boost: Drift Skills

The ’69 Dodge Charger R/T FE is another VIP exclusive. It features the Drift Skills Boost perk, so it should be no surprise that it’s perfect for sliding around the streets of Mexico and getting huge skill chains.

Beyond its drift capabilities, the Charger R/T FE is also impressive for top speed runs, hitting around 258 mph when properly tuned. With upgrades, it can push out over 1,100 horsepower.

Its car mastery tree offers great perks like increased skill chain scores and extra XP boosts.

2018 Exomotive Exocet Forza Edition

Boost: Destruction Skills

Exomotive’s Exocet Off-Road FE is a unique kit car built on the Mazda Miata platform.

While it’s clearly designed for off-road use, like most cars in Horizon, it’s still capable of drifting well with the right setup.

The FE comes stock with AWD (unlike the standard RWD version), making it great for off-roading. Popular engine swaps include the revvy 1.6L I4 Turbo Rally, which pushes it to around 400 horsepower in the A800 class.

The Exocet FE comes with a Destruction Skills Boost perk, which is great if you fancy smashing through things (after a stressful day, maybe?) and earning skill points.

It’s become a little controversial online, with many considering it “broken” due to its dominance of lower-class hoppers. Some players have even made “gentleman’s agreements” not to use it in multiplayer because of its overwhelming advantage!

1932 Ford Deluxe Five Window Forza Edition

Boost: Skills

Exclusive to those who purchased the Forza Horizon 5 limited edition controller, the 1932 Ford De Luxe Five-Window Coupe FE features the Skills Boost perk, making it an ideal pick for skill point farming.

Pre-tuned to A800 class with RWD, the vintage hot rod is impressively capable (and fun) for drifting, and it’s one of the rare opportunities to get a unique (properly) old-school drifter in FH5.

1999 Ford Racing Puma Forza Edition

Boost: Stunt Skills

The third (and final) exclusive for VIP players is the 1999 Ford Racing Puma FE, which transforms this rare compact sports car into a rally monster.

Despite its stock front-wheel drive (FWD) layout, with a RWD conversion, it’s ready for some sideways action. With the various engine swaps on offer, the pocket rocket can deliver impressive performance.

The Puma FE’s mastery tree offers increased skill chain scores, wheelspins, and XP boosts for street races. The Stunt Skills Boost perk also makes it a great pick for getting extra skill points

2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Forza Edition

Boost: Skills

The Lambo Sesto Elemento FE is one of the most sought-after cars in Forza Horizon 5. The lightweight weapon weighs 925 kg (2,039 lbs) and comes stock as an S2 998 class car with an AWD drivetrain.

Boasting perfect 10/10 scores in handling, acceleration, launch, and braking, its off-road capability (5.8/10) is its only “weakness” (not that it was designed for off-roading!).

It hits 229.3 mph stock and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. With the right tune, it can compete with the fastest cars in FH5.

2010 Maserati Gran Turismo Forza Edition

Boost: Clean Skills

The Gran Turismo S FE features Maserati’s typically sleek Italian styling and plenty of drift potential. Its Clean Skills Boost perk makes it ideal for earning bonus skill points.

With a 5.2L V10 engine swap and twin turbos, it can be upgraded to over 1,100 horsepower and comes as RWD in stock form.

While it’s great for drifting, it’s also pretty versatile for a variety of different events (there will be better choices for off-roading, of course) and can reach up to 220 mph.

1998 Mercedes AMG CLK GTR Forza Edition

Boost: Speed Skills

Known for handling like it’s on rails, many fans believe the CLK GTR FE is the best-handling car in Forza Horizon 5.

The S2 998 class monster comes with a flossy chrome paint job (bling bling!) and includes the Speed Skills Boost perk that makes it perfect for skill point farming.

Performance-wise, it’s bonkers! Weighing just 1,050 kg (2,315 lbs), it scores 9.3/10 for handling, 8.2/10 for acceleration, and a perfect 10/10 for braking.

Although the stock top speed is 217.6 mph, it can reach 270 mph with the right tune. When fully upgraded to X class with a 7.2L twin-turbocharged V12, it has around 1,400 horsepower, and launches from 0 to 60 in just over 2 seconds.

It’s not the ideal pick for drifting (it’s not meant to be, either!), but if you want straight-line speed along with insane cornering abilities, this should undoubtedly be considered.

2021 Mercedes AMG GT One Forza Edition

Boost: N/A (Cannot be driven in-game)

Over the years, the Mercedes-AMG ONE FE has caused plenty of confusion among Forza Horizon 5 players.

Despite being visible in the initial Horizon promos, the unicorn car has never been found in the game, and there is no official mention of when or where it might become available.

If it magically appears in your garage one day (unless there’s a bulk rollout), you can assume you’ve (somehow) bagged the rarest car in FH5!

2015 Mercedes TankPool24 Truck Forza Edition

Boost: Destruction Skills

If you’re looking to cause carnage, look no further! The Mercedes-Benz Racing Truck FE has the Destruction Skills Boost, making it perfect for smashing through objects while earning bonus skill points across Mexico.

Despite weighing a hefty 1,671 kg (3,685 lbs), it’s also super fun to throw sideways, and it’ll definitely help you stand out in the lobbies! As standard, it scores 9.8/10 for off-road capability, so it’s equally impressive off the tarmac.

Whatever you decide to do, it can be tuned to a crazy 2,600 horsepower, making it one of the highest horsepower vehicles in the entire game. As you probably guessed, its weight means it’s not the fastest, though!

1971 Meyers Manx Forza Edition

Boost: Destruction Skills

Like the Mercedes truck, the Meyers Max FE features the Destruction Skills Boost perk. However, its weight is a little different. The lightweight beach buggy provides plenty of fun at just 500 kg (1,102 lbs).

Despite its weight, it can be pushed to the S2 945 class with the right upgrades! Stock, it reaches a top speed of 146.2 mph, but with engine swaps like the 2.0L F4 Turbo Rally, the VW Beetle-based buggy becomes a 330 horsepower rally machine. Most opt to use it with an AWD drivetrain for optimal traction in off-road events.

Although it’s clearly designed for off-roading (and does so exceptionally well), the stock RWD setup also allows for sideways action, even if it won’t be the ultimate pick for tandems!

1965 Mini Cooper S Forza Edition

Boost: Stunt Skills

If you’re unaware, you’ll be surprised to hear that this classic British icon transformed into a modern EV for the Forza Edition variant! Weighing just 1,433 lbs (650 kg), this A800-class car features the Stunt Skills Boost perk.

While it’s super fun, it won’t be the top choice for drifting (unsurprisingly!) However, with the race motor and battery upgrade, you can push the electric Mini to 305 horsepower, though even with the best tunes, you’ll struggle to get it beyond 172 mph.

1958 Morris Minor 1000 Forza Edition

Boost: Credits

One of our favorite FH5 sleepers, the Morris Minor 1000 FE, will be a huge surprise for anyone unaware of its capabilities. It features a 634 twin-turbocharged horsepower powerplant packed into what looks like your grandad’s Sunday driver.

Throw it sideways and discover its hidden talent for tire destruction, transforming the vintage grocery-getter into a smoke machine! FH5 (for some reason), a glitch in the game claims it takes 25.4 seconds to hit 60 mph, but in reality, it gets there in less than 3.

While engine swaps aren’t possible, drivetrain swaps are, so if you’re into weird and quirky “drift” cars, this is a must-have for your collection!

2003 Nissan Fairlady Z Forza Edition

Boost: Event XP

Compared to the stock Nissan Fairlady Z (or 350Z, as it’s commonly known), the camo-clad Forza Edition version provides unique visual upgrades and tuning. You might be disappointed if you’re hoping for the ultimate widebody drift car!

Stock, it comes with just 3 gears and is specifically tuned for straight-line speed in cross-country events rather than drifting (as you can probably tell from the styling!) For off-roading, it’s typically a much better pick than other FE alternatives such as the Ford Racing Puma.

2016 Pagani Huayra BC Forza Edition

Boost: Clean Skills

The Huayra BC FE takes the already wild stock Huayra to the next level. In stock form, the S2 998 class car has 1,006 horsepower and weighs just 2,425 lbs (1,100 kg).

Unlike the standard Huayra BC (which sits at S2 929), the FE features a black paint job with body modifications. Performance stats are impressive across the board, with 9.4/10 for handling, 8.8/10 for launch, and 10/10 for braking. It hits a stock top speed of 221.3 mph and accelerates from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds.

While it’s more than capable of getting sideways, it’s not designed as a drift car (despite maintaining the standard version’s RWD setup), and its crazy grip levels make it more suited to providing top-notch grip through the twisties.

1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA Forza Edition

Boost: Drift Skills

Sporting a huge bonnet bulge and stand-out white paint job, the Firebird Trans Am GTA FE transforms this American muscle icon into a drift-ready monster, with the Drift Skills Boost perk making it ideal for racking up skill points while proving your drifting skills.

Under the bulging hood, it packs a serious punch! When fully upgraded with the original engine and twin turbos, it delivers over 1,200 horsepower and 835 ft-lbs of torque. It’s a perfect pick for both drag builds and drift setups.

2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Forza Edition

Boost: Stunt Skills

Once you’ve purchased every Porsche in FH5, you’re gifted this rally-prepped beast as your reward. It’s totally different from your typical track-focused 911, and the FE is a rally monster that stands out with unique bash bars and rally lights.

Unfortunately, customization is extremely limited – you can only modify the transmission type and suspension height. Everything else comes pre-optimized for dirt and rally racing.

It’s an amazing off-roader straight out of the box, but with slight suspension height adjustments, it’s up there with the best for dirt racing events.

However, if you’re after pure speed or drifting capabilities, you’re better off with the non-FE models that allow full customization. This is designed specifically for racing through the harshest of Mexico’s terrain.

1963 VW Beetle Forza Edition

Boost: Speed Skills

Another truly unique car is the VW Beetle FE. Sporting an exposed engine and wheelie bar setup (and yes, it actually pops wheelies!), it’s transformed into a drag strip monster weighing just 699 kg (1,543 lbs.)

For drifting enthusiasts, the classic Bug is a great pick. With the right tune, it’s a great vintage car for sliding through corners with style, despite being designed for straight-line speed.

When upgraded with the 4.0L flat-six engine swap, the Bug pushes out nearly 1,000 horsepower while weighing less than 1,800 lbs. It’s easy to see why it’s “wheelie-happy” (sorry!)
