Sports cars are some of the best cars to drive in Forza Horizon 5. Often, they combine the high performance found in racecars and the luxury of expensive sedans. This combination of raw power and high-end luxury makes sports cars incredibly fun to drive — and it makes you feel glamorous.

Ranking sports cars is tricky because it is not all about speed, nor is it entirely about handling or looks. Sports cars are all about balance, and the best sports cars can weave everything together. Therefore, these will rank in order of their performance class.

10 2019 Aston Martin Vantage

The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Its design is simple, elegant, aerodynamic, and powerful. It is a stunning vehicle and looks incredible on the road.

The Vantage is not only about looks, though, because it also has a 503 horsepower V-8 engine. This horsepower means that this car can hit a top speed of 195 MPH and a 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. There’s a reason James Bond loves his Aston Martins, and in Forza Horizon 5, you can be James Bond too.

9 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Gullwing doors are a rarity in modern sports cars today. That said, Mercedes-Benz stuck to their guns and made them cool again. There is something fashionable about how these doors look when they open. This design language says the SLS is about both elegance and racing.

Under the hood of the Mercedes-Benz is a 564 horsepower engine. This power means you can easily hit its top speed of 196 MPH and get a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds. So, why not go fast and look good doing it?

8 2018 Ferrari Portofino

The 2018 Ferrari Portofino is one of Ferrari’s best sports cars. This grand touring Ferrari is sharp, aggressive, and gorgeous — a combination that will make your road trip a magical experience. The Portofino has a 591 horsepower engine and a top speed of 199 MPH.

What’s equally as impressive is the Portofino’s 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds. Ferrari is one of the best automakers out there, and you cannot go wrong with any of their vehicles.

7 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S

Porsche is perhaps the best sports car maker, and the 2019 911 Carrera S demonstrates their continued dominance in the field. The Porsche 911 Carrera S is great if you are new to Forza and want a starter sports car.

What sets Porsche apart from the rest is its ability to make a great track car. The 2019 911 Carrera has only 414 Horsepower, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 191, but it handles corners like a champ. It is perfectly balanced, like all sports cars should be.

6 2020 McLaren GT

Owning a McLaren makes you cool. The 2020 McLaren GT is no exception and is one of the best-looking cars they have ever released. The GT doesn't just look awesome, but its engine is also fantastic. This engine produces 612 horsepower, which ranks it among some of the most powerful engines.

With power like that, it is no surprise that the 2020 McLaren GT can reach a top speed of 203 MPH and do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

5 2018 TVR Griffith

The 2018 TVR Griffith would likely lose to the 2020 McLaren GT on the drag strip, probably because Griffith only has 500 horsepower — but that’s not the entire story. On a track, the Griffith would probably close the gap, potentially surpassing the McLaren because it can maneuver around turns better.

For its speed, the Griffith can reach a top speed of 200 MPH and do 0-60 in 4 seconds. It is certainly not the highest speed and acceleration that ever seen, but it does a better job balancing other attributes, like handling.

4 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

The 715 horsepower that the 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera has is James Bond-approved. This mean-looking sports car has a great design and is probably one of the most beautiful on this list.

If you are looking for a stunning statement piece in your garage, Aston Martin has got you covered with the DBS Superleggera. This beauty can also hit a top speed of 211 MPH and do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds.

3 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R

If you want an absolute unit of a sports car, check out the 2017 Mercedes- AMG GT R. This car has such a distinct shape that it makes quite the statement, which is hard to do in the sports car market.

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R also has an impressive engine, which outputs a healthy 577 horsepower. That horsepower means that the GT R can reach a top speed of 198 MPH and go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds.

2 2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast

The 2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast goes super fast. Oddly enough, this is not the worst name Ferrari has ever given one of their cars. But names are one thing, and performance is another. Ferrari is the king of racecars, and their sports cars are some of the most powerful on the market.

The Superfast, for instance, has 800 horsepower under the hood. This impressive horsepower gives the Superfast a top speed of 211 MPH and a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds.

1 2015 Ferrari F12TDF

The 2015 Ferrari F12TDF undoubtedly has the worst name of any sports car on this list. But, the F12TDF can reach a top speed of 211 MPH, making it one of the fastest cars on this list. Additionally, it clocks a 0-60 time in 2.9 seconds, which is deadly impressive.

These impressive stats are likely due to the engine’s impressive 769 horsepower. All the while, the F12DTF retains its track performance and can handle a turn like nobody’s business.
