Best Cars - Forza Horizon 3 Guide - IGN (2024)

Welcome to IGN's guide on the best vehicles you can drive in Forza Horizon 3! Here, you will find details on the fastest car in Forza Horizon 3, as well as which car is best for specific situations or just in general!

Best On-Road Vehicles

These vehicles are what I consider the best for any street races! -- There may be better cars in terms of speed, handling, etc, but I feel that in my experience with this game that these are the cars you want to drive on the street.

5. Nissan: #1 Nismo motul autechgt-r

This car may not be the fastest car in the game, and it may not even have the best launch of the rest of the cars on this list. But the car is masterful at drifting and can win races with its handling alone. This car is a very good choice on courses with a lot of sharp turns.

4. Ford: #66 Ford racing gtle mans

This car is an absolute stud on the roadand has a faster launch than the GT-R mentioned above. Since this car has great handling, as well as a very fast acceleration, you will be able to dominate just about any track that has sharp curves. If you need to slow down, you will be fine due to the way this car accelerates. - This is a must use car early on in the game!

3. Koenigsegg: Regera

This car is absolutely insaneand is a must have for any player in this game. This car isunique and only has one gear but, the thing is, in that one gear the car can max out at 240 MPH! The acceleration and handling are also pretty darn good as well. This car will allow you to win races on its speed alone! I reccomendusing this car in Street Races and courses with a lot of straight stretches.

2. Ultima: Evolution coupe 1020

The Ultima is almost the best all around vehicle in the game. It has a high speed, but also handles like an absolute champion! The best feature about this car is that it is great in almost any situation (on the road). Any course will suit this car just fine. Curvy, straight, rainy, etc... It simply doesn't matter. This vehicle is a masterpiece and I highly urge everyone to give it a spin themselves!

1. Lamborghini: Centenario lp 770-4

Yes, the cover car is the best in the game. Shocker. -- But really, I found this car to be the best all around vehicle in the game. It absolutely dominates in races and obliterates any challenge it faces. Whether it is danger signs, speed goals, or drift zones. This car is an absolute beast! I honestly hesitated before I purchased this car, but that was the best $2,000,000+ I've ever dropped in the game. It was worth every penny.

Best Off-Road Vehicles

Thesevehiclesare what I consider the best for any off-road races! -- There may be better cars in terms of speed, handling, etc, but I feel that in my experience with this game that these are the cars you want to drive on dirt, sand, grass, etc.

5. bowler: exr s

This is an all around great vehicle for off-road activities. It has very good handling, and speed that enables you to get an edge on your competition. If you want to start off with any off-road vehicle, then this is probably the best fit for you. It's affordable and easy to control!

4. LAMBORGHINI: CENTENARIO LP 770-4

I know what you're probably thinking, but the newest Lamborghini is an absolute beast on the road and as well as off-road. It's all wheel drive and has really great handling and speed off-road. The car shines the brightest on roads, but don't count it out when it comes to off-road races. After I purchased this car I won many championships with it in the Outback!

3. Meyers: Manx

I absolutely adore this classic 1971 Classic. This is potentially the best RWD vehicle in the game to take off-road. It's great to drive around and do off-road jumps and challenges with. For races, I recommend taking this thing on courses with a lot of straight stretches and fewer curves. This vehicle might not look like it, but it can destroy in races of all types! -- This car is also a Barn Find vehicle. Which means if you find it, you get it for free!

2. AMG TRANSPORT DYNAMICS: M12S WARTHOGCST

Yup, this is the Warthog from the Halo series and yes it's as amazing as you would think! This vehicle is an absolute monster in terms of speed, handling, and acceleration when it comes to doing anything off-road. The Warthog is my personal favorite off-road vehicle. That doesn't mean it's the best, I just love Halo and love how the Warthog handles in Forza Horizon 3! This is definitely a must have for off-road races and Halo fans!

1.ariel: nomad

Now, what would off-roading be without a Dune Buggy? The answer is nothing. I absolutely love everything about the Ariel: Nomad. Everything from its speed and acceleration to its braking and handling. This is top of its class and really packs a punch. This is my go-to vehicle for long off-road events! It does a fantastic job on just about every coarse and off-road activity.
