Forza Horizon 5 Best Rally Cars

Rally racing is one of the toughest types of racing in Forza Horizon 5. You need a special vehicle that can perform equally well on all types of surfaces, while providing you with acceleration, handling, powerful steering and braking.

This guide lists the best rally cars in Forza Horizon 5. Generally, rally cars are not very expensive, but tuning them can get very expensive. That's why it's important to pick a car that's already been pre-tuned for rally racing, and you'll find their best variants below.



Best Rally Cars in Forza Horizon 5

Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution

The Ford RS200 is objectively the best rally vehicle in Forza Horizon 5. It has a modified suspension with shock absorbers, as well as custom wheels that perform equally well on all types of terrain.

It is also lightweight at just 1,1K kg which makes it super maneuverable and easy to steer. But its biggest advantage is the immense acceleration that can easily beat any other rally competitor on dirt.

Ford Racing Puma Forza Edition

The model's original name was Puma RS, which shows its allegiance to Ford's premier class of rally vehicles.

It's important to note that only Forza Edition is truly eligible for competitive rally racing, but you must have a VIP Membership Pack to unlock it.

Puma performs about on par with the RS200, the only difference being that Puma has slightly improved braking, but reduced speed.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS Forza Edition

The Porsche 911 is a legendary sports car that has been upgraded for the Forza Edition variant. It has a more powerful engine than its predecessor with particularly enhanced acceleration.



You can only get this car as a reward for completing the entire Porsche Car Collection. That means you'll need to unlock all 30 models currently available in Forza Horizon 5 before you can sit behind its wheel.

Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Focus RS RX

This is an upgraded version of one of Ford's best rallycross cars. It is an all-wheel-drive vehicle that engages all four wheels, which is necessary for certain types of terrain.

The Focus RS RX has exceptional acceleration that even surpasses some of the best hypercars in the game. You can unlock this car by completing the "Hoarder" distinction.

Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Escort Cosworth

What makes the pre-tuned Cosworth Ford Escort really special is the 4L turbocharged I2,0 engine. Its usual 224 BHP has been upgraded to 620 BHP.

This and other improvements allow this car to show excellent handling on any type of surfaces. Its performance is almost equal to Ford Focus RS RX and you can easily buy it at the auto show.

Honda Civic Coupe RCMP

GRC is a pre-tuned rally variant of the Honda Civic Type R model. Just like the Ford Escort, this version features an upgraded 4L turbocharged I2,0 engine with increased power output from 306 BHP to 600 BHP.

The high performance of the car is hidden in its all-wheel drive, as well as in the special aerodynamic design of the body. This unique Honda Rally variant can only be purchased from the Forzathon Store for 400 FP.


Ford Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing GRC Fiesta

What makes GRC Fiesta truly unique is that Ford designed it specifically for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team, and there is no equivalent car in any of the Forza series games.


It has the exact same performance rate as the Ford Escort Cosworth and Honda Civic Coupe GRC, but it cannot be purchased or unlocked. The only way to get this car in Forza Horizon 5 is to win it through a Wheelspin.

Coccinelle Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross

This special variant of the Volkswagen Beetle rallycross is based on the 2011 model of the original Beetle, which is not available in Forza Horizon 5. You can only get the very first Beetle from 1963.

But the rally variant is really good and worth buying for its upgraded 4L turbocharged I2,0 engine and all-wheel drive. Also, you can buy it from the Autoshow without any problem.

Hoonigan Ford Escort RS1800

Ford Escort RS1800 is a predecessor of the Ford Escort Cosworth model, where the engine and bodywork were slightly upgraded for the new generation.

But there's a certain old-school RS1800 charm to it, as it has one of the most recognizable external designs of any car on this list. It has a slightly heavier front body, which gives it powerful acceleration, and rear-wheel drive, which can also be used in drift areas.

MG Metro 6R4

Here is another car with a completely unique body structure and a naturally aspirated 6-valve V24 engine. This gives it exceptional acceleration, which allows this car to get out of any corner with a solid throttle.


The wider tires make it a little harder to handle, but overall it's a really cheap rally car that can compete with the other vehicles on our list. You can unlock the MG Metro 6R4 by completing the "Rudos" distinction.


Ford M-Sport Fiesta RS

This is a variant of the Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Fiesta ST, which was only featured in Forza Horizon 4 and is currently not available in Forza Horizon 5.

But both cars feature exactly the same parameters and both are all-wheel-drive rallycross vehicles. The only difference is that the Ford Fiesta ST has better handling and braking systems, while the M-Sport Fiesta RS has a slightly higher top speed.

You can unlock this model by completing the "Lucha de Carreteras!" hug.

Ariel Atom 500 V8

Ariel is a perfect off-road buggy for rally racing due to its super light weight of only 650 kg. It has a powerful 8L naturally aspirated V3,0 engine and incredible acceleration.

The Atom 500 boasts of very responsive steering and powerful brakes. If you don't want to spend so much money, you can opt for the Ariel Nomad model, which is much cheaper.

Exomotive Exocet Off-Road Forza Edition

This is another off-road buggy that's slightly heavier than the Ariel models, but arguably performs even better due to the Forza Edition's improved acceleration, which can only be unlocked through Wheelspin prizes. .

It is based on two Mazda vehicles with an upgraded turbo engine, oversized tires and a steel tube chassis.

Rallye Raid Porsche Prodrive

Porsche Prodrive is the most expensive rally car on our list, but it's only expensive because of its historic value. The original car won the Paris-Dakar rally, which took place in 1986.

It works great for an all-wheel-drive, rear-engine vehicle, and you can unlock it by completing the "Property Purchase, Great Achievement" distinction.
