Updated July 24, 2025 by Stephen LaGioia:Following the blazing trails of its predecessors, Forza Horizon 5 hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back. Fast forwarding to the present, and there’s an absolute slew of gorgeous locales, awesome cars, and thrilling events to dive into. The momentum for this open-world racer has continued with various updates — the latest being the Universal Icons Car Pack.
Though Playground Games has also kept the updates rolling with other new content, includingadded events and neon-themed cosmetics. With many compelling reasons and opportunities to score some air and rake in precious skill points, we thought we’d update this list to include more ofthe best cars for jumps and Danger Signs in Forza Horizon 5.
Cars that yield the best jump distances and time airborne usually include those that arelightest, take off quickly, and those great for handling in hilly,offroadconditions. Thus, these will be the focus for most cars listed here. Most will heavily favor either speed/acceleration/launchoroffroading.

Not only is this car among the sleekest looking in the game, it also boasts well-crafted aerodynamics to back up these aesthetics. With its front and rear bumpers, coupled with a fixed rear wing working with an active spoiler, the car yields ample downforce at high speeds.
The Italian car from 2018 boasts some superb stats across the board — offroad handling not withstanding — making it a great option for almost any task where speed and precision is needed. This added vertical force on the tires creates more grip and allows the car to travel faster.
It comes equipped with a6.3L naturally aspirated hybrid V12 engine, with 1036 bhp (brake horsepower), a seven-speed transmission,and weights2,800 lbs.It’s one of the most expensive automobiles in the game, though it’s worth saving up for, as it will almost certainly pay for itself with ample event wins and sky-high skill points. Keep in mind, this car currently requires theCar Pass DLC.

This rare German-manufactured Benz makes for a great utility car, with a solid design that focuses on weight reduction and a lowered center of gravity. The enhanced engine output and ample torque makes it a fast and smooth ride even absent upgrades. The car can really hit the ground running for its4,200 lbs,going fromzero to 60 in well under four seconds.
It also boasts a top speed of215 mph,and is a rare street-focused car that can actually handle itself decently offroad. While itdates all the way back toForza Motorsport3, this Benz holds its own as a well-rounded, resourceful car that can handle Danger Signs and hilly terrain. As a side note — the Forza Edition boasts far greater stats, though that version is still confined toForza Horizon 4.

Serving as a reliable pick for various solo and multiplayer events, as well as offroad action, the Jeep Trailcat can plow through the most rugged of environments without breaking much of a sweat. Statistically, the car is an absolute gem in the offroad department, scoring a perfect 10 even without fine-tuning upgrades.
And while it’s fairly “middle of the road” regarding most other areas, it actually sports decent speed for a (somewhat) cheap Jeep of its kind, allowing players to fly around rocky ground and dirt paths while staying near the front of the pack. With its flexible design and beefy tires, this vehicle typically grants ample lift when soaring off cliffs, hills, or Danger Signs.

Itsimmensely sleek, lavish designshould indicate as to what a speed demon the Mosler can be on the road. This American-made supercar dates back toForza Motorsport 3, and continues to shine onFH5on multiple levels. With a7.0L supercharged V8 engine and 530 bhp,this car will simply leave all but the fastest of opponents trailing in the dust.
This doesn’t just aid in racing, but it also allows players to clear those Danger Signs more effectively, as the car really hits the ground running. On top of this, its superbhandling (9.8)enables drivers to line up their launch angle, making for higher, more controlled leaps. As one might expect, offroading is a little shakier with the Mosler—but it’s a must-pick for Danger Signs in controlled environments.

Like many supercars of its ilk, this Lambo can really thrive when it comes to ramps and jumps tailored to streets—though it proves less reliable for flying through hilly, offroad locales. Still, this car is an ideal choice as it can sprint to60 mph in just a few seconds,hitting a sky-high top speed of232 mph. This comes courtesy of aV12 engine, 700 bhp, and all-wheel-drive.
For these reasons, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is well worth the investment, especially for those road warriors.

This UK-assembled car may invoke a bit ofFH4nostalgia, but it still gets the job done when it comes toFH5’s variety of events and stunts. The Cerbera can impressively ignite to atop speed of 240 mph, and hits 60 in just over three seconds.
While not really an offroad fiend, the Cerbera is built with solidbraking and handling,which makes it much easier to deal with wilder, hilly terrain.

James Bond would be thrilled to take a ride in this sports car, which makes for a versatile and reliable pick that isgreat for cross-country. At the same time, the Aston Martin Vantage can be quite good for setting up Danger Sign jumps, thanks to its stellarspeed, great handling, and respectable launchstatistics.
No longer requiring the Car Pass DLC likeFH4, this car can now be secured by simply purchasing it at the Autoshow for a relatively budget price. Not bad, considering the high price of admission in earlier Forza games.

Surpassing the already swift standard 599XX, this speed demon can hit a solid240 mphwithout breaking a sweat. Not only this, but itssteady handling at high speedsensures smooth, steady leaps over the treacherous jumps strewn about therough Mexican locales. These qualities also make this luxury supercar ideal for Speed Trap PR Stunts and Speed Zone runs.

Making its welcome returnas a Barn Find, this 90’s classic is truly built to handle the often rugged lands of Mexico with its offroad prowess.Its suspension system is built to absorb the rough ridesto and across the various Danger Signs.
While not exactly the quickest car when it comes to jumps, its springy nature more than makes up for this deficit, allowing it to get ample air as it propels off ramps and hills. It also helps that it’s equipped with amore-than-capable launchstat to get it churning quickly.
S1 884
This hypercar won’t come cheap, as it demands a whopping2,300,000 CRwhen buying at the Autoshow. Yet, considering it’s one of the fastest, most potent cars in the game, it’s well worth the investment.
This awesome Lambo is equipped with a6.5L naturally aspirated V12engine and boasts759 bhp.Factor in its solid grip around corners, and its ability to zip to60 mph in three seconds, and one can see why it’s a great choice for lengthy jumps.
The Centenario is also laced with a rear wing that deploys at 60 mph (small potatoes for this car), acting as a sort of makeshift glider that allows it to soar. A rare weakness comes in the form of its longer braking distance—though this is usually a non-factor when tackling those long jumps anyway.
