In Forza Horizon 5, car fans can make their dreams come true. The racing game offers over 600 vehicles and draws on a large number of popular manufacturers. If you play a lot, earn money and successfully compete in numerous races, you can quickly have a huge fleet of vehicles. But some cars are very rare and only a fraction of the players own them. MeinMMO shows you 5 of the rarest cars in Forza Horizon 5!
Which criteria were decisive? In Forza Horizon 5, the five cars we have selected are some of the rarest vehicles in the game. Since there are no official and public numbers of how many players own a car, we determined our list based on the following criteria:
None of the vehicles on this list can be purchased at the auto show, and some are even tied to ordering real-life items. In addition, if that is possible at all, they only appear on the auction house extremely rarely and then at very high prices.
1. Maserati 8CTF
What kind of vehicle is this? The Maserati 8CTF is a racing car from 1939 that brought the Italian sports car manufacturer great success in racing and thanks to which Maserati is still one of the few European brands to win the 500-mile (approx. 805 km) race at the Indianapolis Oval.
how do you get the car The Maserati 8CTF was included as a prize in Series 2 of the Forza Horizon 5 Festival playlist. If you wanted to unlock the racer, you had to reach 45 points on the playlist in the summer season.
Series 2 ran from December 9, 2021 to January 6, 2022, with the summer season ending on December 16, according to forza-fandom.com.
Since the end of Series 2, the historic racer has not been part of a festival playlist or the Forzathon Store (as of June 2022). If you want to own the Maserati 8CTF in Forza Horizon 5, you have to hope for the auction house, where it is very rarely offered.
It is also unclear what price the racing car would be offered for in the auction house. We kept an eye on the auction house for several days during our research and we only encountered the Maserati on the screenshot, which was supposed to cost “only” 8,000,000 CR. It’s entirely possible that future sales could cost more.
2. Vauxhall Lotus Carlton
What kind of vehicle is this? The Vauxhall Lotus Carlton is a rear-wheel drive sports car from the United Kingdom. The Carlton is a joint product of the car manufacturers Lotus and Vauxhall from 1990. The latter is a subsidiary of Opel.
how do you get the car The Carlton appeared with Series 3 in Forza Horizon 5 and was available as a milestone (45 points in the Festival Playlist) of the Spring Season. If you haven’t unlocked it at this point, you have to hope that it will be offered on the auction house. However, as with the Maserati 8CTF, this is extremely rarely the case.
Should the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton be sold on the auction house, the seller will most likely ask for 20 million CR.
During our research, however, we were not lucky enough to see the sports car even once in the auction house. Indication enough for us that it is one of the rarest vehicles in Forza Horion 5.
3. Ford GT ‘OPI Edition’ 2017
What is this vehicle? The 2017 Ford GT is the successor to the legendary Ford GT 40, which owes its fame to winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2017 Ford GT, the automaker wanted to prove that it was still capable of producing sports cars at the highest level.
The ‘OPI Edition’ Ford GT is a Forza Horizon 5 exclusive version of the super sports car and features a special paint job as well as improved performance. The stock performance of the OPI Edition is in Forza Horizon 5 performance class S1 at 900, while the standard specification of the Ford GT is a stock S1-863.
Another special detail that differentiates the OPI Editon from the standard version is the possibility to exchange the motor during tuning. The OPI Edition has the Racing V6TT to choose from and can upgrade to the X-999 performance class with this engine. The maximum of the standard version is only in the middle of the S2 class at 953.
how do you get the car For the Ford GT in the OPI Edition you have to place an order in real life in order to then receive a code for the car. However, the item you must order is not an item that you can use to play Forza Horizon 5 or is otherwise directly related to the game.
For the Ford GT OPI Editio’ you have to order nail polish from the US nail polish manufacturer OPI Products. To be more precise, it must be OPI nail polish from the Xbox Collection (via xbox.com), which is available in Germany in the Infinite Shine, Nail Lacquers and GelColor product lines. After ordering the nail polish, you can request the code for the special vehicle.
It is not possible to purchase the Ford GT OPI Edition from a dealership or obtain it in a Wheelspin. Nor was or is it included as a reward in the Forzathon store or in a festival playlist.
4. Wuling Sunshine S
What kind of vehicle is this? The 2013 Wuling Sunshine S is a van manufactured by the Chinese car manufacturer Wuling, which has some partnerships with international companies such as SAIC Motor and General Motors and which only sells its vehicles in China.
how do you get the car The Wuling Sunshine S was included in Series 4 of Forza Horizon 5 as a Festival Playlist Fall Championship reward and could be unlocked by earning 25 points. If you didn’t take this chance, you’ll have to invest a lot of CR to call the extraordinary car your own – if you’re lucky.
The Chinese Wan is only very rarely offered in the auction house by other players and then often costs 20,000,000 CR. During our research, however, this did not prevent competing bidders from ending the auction within a minute using the buy it now price.
The Wuling Sunshine S has only been part of a festival playlist once before, has not yet been offered in the Forzathon shop and is also not available in the motor show.
5. De Luxe Five-Window Coupe Forza Edition
What kind of vehicle is this? The Ford De Luxe is a coupé from 1932 and has rear-wheel drive as standard. In the limited Forza Edition, the coupé becomes a so-called hot rod thanks to the special conversion.
how do you get the car The Forza Edition Ford De Luxe Five-Window Coupe is definitely one of the rarest cars in Forza Horizon 5. You can’t buy the special hot rod at the dealership or get it in a Wheelspin. Nor was it included as a reward in the Forzathon store or in a festival playlist.
If you want the De Luxe Five-Window Coupe Forza Edition, you must purchase the limited-edition Forza Horizon 5 Xbox controller (via xbox.com) and receive a code with the purchase. You can then redeem this code and receive the hot rod once in the game.
Each ‘Ford de Luxe Five-Window Coupé Forza Edition’ therefore comes from a purchase of the FH5 controller. So there is a very limited number of the vehicle in circulation and the controller is only rarely offered.
Attention: When buying the controller, make sure that you order from an official dealer if you also want the hot rod. During our research, we read some stories from players who received the controller in a private purchase, but were disappointed to find that the code wasn’t included in the package or had already been redeemed.
Why are other rare vehicles not included in the list? There are a number of other extremely rare vehicles in Forza Horizon 5 that we have not included in the list for various reasons.
For example, some of the rare mobile pedestals were offered in large numbers in the auction house during our research or were noticeably cheaper there than the collector’s items we selected. We also decided against cars that featured more often in the Forzathon store and/or festival playlist than the Maserati, Carlton, or Wuling.
