Summary
Grand Touring racing (from the Italian Gran Turismo), or simply GT Racing, is the most common form of sports car racing, often involving long-distance endurance motorsport events. Historically, Grand Touring cars had to be in series production, andForza Horizon 5features plenty of GT cars for playersto get, upgrade, and take to the racing track. While not exactly racing-ready, many of the world’s best GT cars blend luxury, comfort, and performance, standing on the verge of the most exclusive supercars available.
InForza Horizon 5, there are two separate categories for GT cars. The Super GT type, which lists the most exclusive, fastest, and most powerful GT cars, feels almost shackled alongside the traditional GT models. Below, we’ll highlight the best cars from both worlds, to provide the players with the ultimate selection of the must-have GT carswith the best stats in the game.
1Aston Martin Vantage 2019
Car Type: GT Cars
The Aston Martin Vantage is easily among the best GT cars inForza Horizon 5.It’s available straight from the Autoshow, and boasts the best default stats that players can buy in the GT cars category. Built around the same aluminum architecture of the DB11, it is shorter and significantly lighter, resulting in better driving dynamics and acceleration.
With its impeccable performance, it should be noted that the Vantage isn’t the fastest of the GT class, if players arespecifically looking for a top-speed contender. It’s also a bit pricey, especially when compared to the faster Bentley Continental Supersport, which is twice as cheap.
2Ferrari F12TDF 2015
Car Type: Super GT
The real superstar of the Super GT class inForza Horizon 5, the Ferrari F12TDF is actually a blazing-fast high-performance variant of the standard F12 supercar, created to leave any competitor in the dust. The Ferrari F12TDF offers easily the best default stats among GT cars, standing at the top of the S1 performance class, with its top speed of over 240 mph outclassing any other Gran Turismo vehicle.
While the Ferrari F12TDF is the most expensive among GT cars, its price of 500,000 CR isn’t too big of a deal for what players are getting. Undoubtedly, this exotic grand tourer is at the top of its league in the game.
3Bentley Continental Supersport 2017
The respectable and luxurious Bentley Continental Supersport may not appear graceful enough, but don’t make this mistake. The fastest among the GT cars inForza Horizon 5(outside of Super GT), the Continental Supersport is one of the fastest and most powerful Bentley road cars ever made, powered by a roaring twin-turbocharged W12 engine.
The car’s relatively high weight of 2,280 kg, coupled with the AWD transmission, allows the Bentley Continental Supersport to always stay grounded on track, swiftly conquering sharp corners. And if that’s not enough, the car can quickly outrun other competitors in a straight line, and does it with style.
4McLaren GT 2020
The name says it all. McLaren GT stands right at the top of the Super GT class inForza Horizon 5, purposely built as the company’s first grand tourer, with predictably astounding results. Lightweight, fast, and surprisingly affordable, the McLaren GT could serve as the amazing entry point into the GT category, consistently delivering top performance.
The car is heavily based on the 720S McLaren supercar, offering easy and comfortable driving for longer journeys, all while sharing a recognizable design that took cues from the great white shark for this top road predator.
5Jaguar F-Type R Coupé 2015
The Jaguar F-Type R Coupé may not be the pinnacle among the GT class category inForza Horizon 5, but it’s a real thing of beauty — almost like any other Jaguar supercar. With the car’s elegant, top-of-the-line sports coupé with an unmistakable allure, the F-Type R’s performance won’t disappoint either, packing the most powerful supercharged V8 engine that Jaguar has ever built.
Unlike otherForza Horizon 5cars on the list, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupé has one notable caveat, as the car can not be bought directly from the Autoshow. Players maywin the Jaguar F-Type R via the Wheelspin, orlook for one in the Auction, as the car isn’t all that rare in the game.
6Mercedes-AMG GT-R 2017
From its wide body and distinctive aesthetics, right down to its upgraded twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the Mercedes-AMG GT-R truly captivates. A high-performance variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT S fastback coupé (another great car), the GT-R’s active aerodynamics and lighter weight provide an exhilarating driving experience, wrapped in a striking package similar to that of the GT3 race car.
Compared to the regular AMG GT, there are enough cosmetic alterations, including the front grill’s vertical slats, new front air intakes, a fixed carbon rear wing, and new front and rear diffusers. A staple in the racing genre ever since the car was unveiled, the AMG GT-R is built for real champions.
7BMW M6 Coupé 2013
How does something so powerful and exciting come so cheap inForza Horizon 5? The BMW M6 Coupé is a real affordable star of the GT cars category, almost matching the top speed of the best cars like the Bentley Continental Supersport for half the price, making it an ultimate touring machine, and easy to own in the game for every player.
Based on the third-generation BMW 6 Series, this high-performance grand tourer is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine that puts it in the upper spectrum of A class in mostForzagames. But it’s not all about the performance, as, given its high weight, the M6 Coupé offersvery accessible handling for most newcomers, rendering the car as a must-have pick.
8Aston Martin DBS Superleggera 2019
Most Aston Martin cars belong to the GT or Super GT classes, and the DBS Superleggera can almost outshine them all inForza Horizon 5. A perfect blend of luxury, performance, affordability, and style, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera replaces the Vanquish S as the company’s newest flagship model of its series production cars.
The Superleggera’s impressive top speed blows out of the water almost any competitor. With its twin-turbo V12 engine, the car comes close to the much rarer and more expensive One-77 in terms of performance. The DBS uses carbon fiber for exterior body panels, using the functional “Aeroblade” design, resulting in an incredible downforce at high speeds.
