The P1's 9.1 speed and 6.9 acceleration scores may not blow the socks off of anyone, but its 253 mph top speed shows that it's no slouch either. Despite weighing slightly more, the P1 is closely matched to the LaFerrari, another impressive hypercar featured in the game.

11 McLaren Speedtail

Top Speed: 260 mph

• Class: S2 910
• Price: 2,250,000 CR

McLaren has long been at the cutting edge of fast-production supercars and the 2019 Speedtail is their fastest one yet.

Stat-wise, the default Speedtail 2019 offers a 9.6 speed score, along with an underwhelming 6.8 acceleration.

Going from 0 to 186 mph in just 12.8 seconds, it is McLaren's fastest accelerating car to date. And talking about top speed, it can manage 260 mph without breaking a sweat.

10 Rimac Concept Two

9 Bugatti Divo

Top Speed: 262 mph

• Class: S2 958
• Price: 3,000,000 CR

Bugatti is no stranger to reality-defying supercars. The 2019 Bugatti Divo, based on the iconic Chiron, is perhaps the most enthusiast-focused car from the French manufacturer. Loaded with a turbocharged W16 engine, this AWD sports car was designed with superior handling and downforce in mind.

That doesn't mean the Divo is a slouch in the speed department. It boasts a 9.6-speed rating in-game and a perfect 10 acceleration score. Named after the 1920s Bugatti driver Albert Divo, this beast can clock 262 mph at its maximum. Only 40 units of these super-rare exotics were built, which probably justifies the enormous price tag.

8 Zenvo TSR-S

Top Speed: 265 mph

• Class: S2 927
• Price: 1,200,000 CR

A variant of Zenvo's TS1, the Zenvo TSR-S is powered by an in-house twin-turbocharged V8 engine providing 1,177 bhp to the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) supercar. The TSR-S also features a spectacular-looking 'centripetal wing' at the rear that can tilt left or right to distribute airflow and increase downforce on curves. This adds to the car's futuristic and dynamic appearance. Note that playeres can't deploy, retract, or tilt this wing when in Forzavista.

The Zenvo TSR-S can also tilt forward during braking to increase air resistance and provide more stopping power. The car's 9-speed and 6.7 acceleration scores are great when one considers its price and 265 mph top speed.

7 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Top Speed: 267 mph

• Class: S2 913
• Price: 2,200,000 CR

Another speedster from Bugatti to rank among Forza Horizon 5's fastest vehicles is the 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. This hypercar stands alone when it comes to speed demons, featuring an 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine. Its 267 mph top speed easily ranks the Veyron Super Sport among the fastest cars in the game and its astounding 9.9 speed score coupled with a perfect 10 acceleration score neatly wraps up the package.

The Veyron SS is a one-of-its-kind marvel that will more than quench the player's need for speed. Additionally, they can turn it into an off-road high-speed monster with the right upgrades and tires, making winning many off-road events almost too easy.

6 Bugatti Chiron

Top Speed: 269 mph

• Class: S2 927
• Price: 2,400,000 CR

Another milestone in automobile engineering is the 2018 Bugatti Chiron. Featuring a similar 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W16 engine like the Veyron SS, the Chiron goes a step further with its unbeatable 10 speed score and a 9.9 acceleration rating.

The Bugatti Chiron can clock a blistering 269 mph and can go from 0 to 100 mph in 4.9 seconds. Despite weighing almost 4,400 pounds, the Chiron handles brilliantly and deserves to be at the top of any driver's wishlist of the fastest cars. Considering its impressive ratings, the Chiron is also rather affordable and easy to get, making it even more attractive.

5 Porsche Taycan Turbo S (Welcome Pack Version)

Top Speed: 270 mph

• Class: S1 900
• Price: 185,000 CR, but the Welcome Pack needs to be bought for $4.99

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is a bit peculiar. Though the standard version of the car might not be able to rank among the fastest cars, if a player manages to grab it as part of Forza Horizon 5's Welcome Pack, then it is something else entirely.

It features a perfect 10-speed score and a nearly as good 9.7 acceleration score, and if tuned well, can even exceed 270 mph at its top speed. The Taycan Turbo S holds the distinction of being one of the fastest electric cars in Forza Horizon 5.
