Best Cars in Forza Horizon 3

In this game, the 918 is a car that players could get via Forzathon events. When stock, this German hypercar is already a beast. However, if you fully upgrade it, you unlock its full potential. In my opinion, this is one of the best, if not the best car for the Goliath circuit. It's crazy fast, handles well at most speeds, has awesome brakes, and offers a greatly satisfying launch. I almost want to call this car a hack that isn't a hack because, during any race, even on max difficulty, the only other cars you'd worry about are other 918s.

In my opinion, one of the most badass cars in the game (and in the world), the One:1 is a crazy beast! It can be upgraded to X-class easily, and when you do, you will not regret it. From my experience, this is one of the smoothest cars in the world. Even at top speed, this car still produces enough downforce to take most corners flat-out!

When I first drove this car during a Bucket List challenge, I was mind-blown by its power, and I still am. At the time of writing this, this very car actually beat my 918 in scoring the highest skill chain, which is funny since Koenigsegg's badge is currently on the fastest production car in the world (again, at the time of typing this. Hennessey's F5's top speed was only claimed at this time, not tested).

If you didn't expect this one, I don't blame ya. From my experience, this is quite an underrated car. I think this is one of those cars that's good for almost any type of racing. I can see this with an off-road set, rallycross set, and track race set. Sure, it's not too impressive when stock, and a lot of people think it's an ugly car, but when I fitted it with some rally upgrades, I was blown away by how quick it was.

I've won more online events with my rally-built 350Z than any other car in my garage, and I'm not just talking about races. The only reason that I didn't put this car at the top was because it was a bit too fast at times during a rally race, and I've spun it a few times before.

Simply dubbed the "Warthog," this fictional off-road car, which is actually from a wholly different video game called Halo, might not have the performance of most other cars on this list, but that's because this car doesn't belong on asphalt. It's not listed as "Extreme Off-road" for nothing, after all, and I must say, this car is almost perfect for cross-country racing.

You see, this car is not fast...at all, but that's exactly what you want when you're literally digging your route through an unprepared wasteland or a piece of land full of crops to run over. I remember my first-ever online championship, and it was mostly off-road based. The final race was with this car, and let me tell you, I skyrocketed to the top! The Warthog is like a lawnmower for skill chains on certain routes.

How could I not include this car? Even if it's just outside the top 5, the R34 deserves a spot on this list. Not only is it a legend among JDM cars, but when fitted with the right upgrades, it's also fast, smooth, and good-looking.

Oh man, the S15. One of my favorite JDM cars ever. If you're looking for a car with lots of options for its physical appearance, the S15 is one of the best choices in the game. It's almost got Need for Speed levels of customization, and the best part is that it's not even that expensive.

Even better, you can pick this car as your first officially owned vehicle at the beginning of the game after you get to drive the amazing Lamborghini Centenario for your then-second time ever. Did I mention how good this car looks with a body kit slapped on?

The thing that puts this car on the list is one simple factor: it's incredibly cheap for its class. Its performance rivals that of most hypercars in the game, yet it's one of the cheapest high-performing cars, starting at only 130k. Alternatively, because this is a DLC car, you could buy the Ultima 720 GTR, though you'll get less for more. It performs a little worse than the 1020 and costs 20k more. But hey, at least there's no paywall for that car.

To put it in short: this is an amazing rally car, but it's also one of those cars that you shouldn't max out unless you want an undrivable vehicle.

My favorite car. I can't unlock its 100% potential, but I have unlocked its maximum potential, and I haven't lost a single game with this car. Beast! Love it.

If you drove this car, then it would be your favorite. You can't lose when driving this with a professional tune.

This track toy is what you would expect from this legendary Italian brand. Its looks are dazzling, and it's smooth like butter. The only downsides of this car, which are the reasons why I put it so low on the list, are the speed and the price. This car ranks the highest of any other car in the game on the Autoshow (stock), but for that, you get rather underwhelming speed and 2.7 million credits out of your in-game account.

The thing about the speed, though, is the simple fact that this car was built for the opposite reasons as the Bugatti Veyron. The Ferrari can take corners much quicker, due to its, for its class, slowness, whereas the Veyron can barely take a corner at half the pace of it.

I drive this car every day. Stable at high speeds and fun at low speeds. Great car.

I love the sound of the car, and its body is awesome!

Really great car, fun and easy to drive around in when upgraded to X-class. One of my favorite cars in the game.

All around a good car, easy to use at high speeds. Great for winning races.

I have the Horizon Edition and use it in every race after using my Centenario.

One of the fastest cars, but costly.

Probably the worst car in the game for a serious race, but that's not why it's on the list. It's here because this car is a mix of stupidity and endless amusement. Seriously, I once had a duel with a guy driving an Ultima 1020 on sand, and it was the best time of my life - partially because my opponent knew exactly what I was doing and intentionally slowed down to give me a push every now and then.

I won thousands of races with this car. It is an unbelievable steal from the auction house. I have at least fifty of them with different tunes. Even pros use this car.

The McLaren 570S is my absolute favorite car in the game. It's a bargain for less than 300,000 credits, and if you upgrade its stock engine, it can hit speeds easier than some hypercars. With the stock engine upgraded, the thing launches like a beast and accelerates fast all the way through the gears. It never stops accelerating until it hits top speed.

The car is so light and aerodynamic you can throw it through most corners at good speed. This thing will leave any modern supercar in the dust and even make some hypercars feel like they aren't worth the price. At this price, there's no beating the value.

It's one of the free roam fun cars for multiplayer as it's the fastest car in the game when upgraded to S2, with speeds up to 300 mph.

Very good balancing of the car, great handling, and acceleration if you keep it original.

Okay, so this car is flat-out amazing. I was going through cars from the Asian car category, and then this car popped up out of nowhere, and I was like, this thing is dazzling! I picked the car up for like 100k or something, but then I tried it and was blown away by this thing's speed and handling. It was super cool to use, so go check out this car!

Best car. I love the handling on this thing!
