We’ve all dreamt of owning a Lamborghini or a Ferrari at some point. Luckily, Forza lets you live that fantasy and drive all of those cool cars. This guide narrows that list down and mentions the best Italian cars in Forza Horizon 5.
We’ve picked Italian cars that fit the bill for different types of races and activities in FH5. You’ll definitely find something that catches your eye.
Lamborghini Diablo GTR – Fastest Drag Race Car
Price: 1,200,000CR ~ // Auction House Buy out Estimate
Class: S1
Tune Code: 697 361 407 (Drag Tune)
1/4 Mile In: 12.19s ~
The Lamborghini Diablo GTR turns out to be the fastest Italian (and overall) drag racing car in Forza Horizon 5.
We’ve found a drag tune for the Lambo, which allows for quicker launches, better downforce, smoother shifting, and the overall weight of the car to be optimized enough to do a quarter mile in just under 12.19s.
You can only get the Lamborghini Diablo GTR through the Auction House or by completing the standard Lamborghini Diablo Skill Tree.
Ferrari 488 Pista – Sounds Italian
Price: 320,000CR
Class: S1
Upgrades for Best Sound: Race Intake, Race Exhaust
The Ferrari 488 Pista is my second most driven car in Forza Horizon 5 because of how good its 3.9L Twin-Turbo V8 sounds. You can immediately tell, even without looking, that it is the 488, thanks to its high-pitched turbo sounds and deceleration whistles. This car screams Italian.
We recommend installing the Race Intake & Exhaust upgrades and then taking it out for a spin. You’ll never want to roam around the map in any other car. The car has excellent acceleration, cornering, and braking, making it a perfect free-roam car that does everything.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento – Excellent Handling
Price: 7,400,000CR ~ // Auction House Buy out Estimate
Class: S2
Tune Code: 732 141 648 (Handling Focused)
This is a trump card jack-of-all-trade Italian hypercar with excellent base stats and is also included in our list of the best-sounding cars in FH5. It handles exceptionally well and requires very little tuning to improve the handling further.
This is probably the best handling car in Forza Horizon 5 and for a good reason. You can floor it even at 200MPH and be sure that it will comfortably squeeze through any corner.
The 5.2L V10 might seem daunting to handle, but Playground Games has worked its magic to make this a grippy car.
Pagani Huayra FE 2016 – The Pagani You Were Looking For
Price: 2,700,000CR
Tune Code: 509 485 702 (Top Speed Tune)
Top Speed: 261 MPH ~
Class: S2
Costing 2.7 million CR and sounding absolutely amazing, the Pagani Huayra is an Italian hypercar worthy of getting a spot on this list. We found a capable tune for it that allows the car to reach top speeds of up to 260MPH.
Check out our list of the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5 to check more options other than Italian cars.
Pagani hypercars have a rather wide frame and a bulky presence, but the Huayra has a light chassis, and the 6.0L V12 engine sounds absolutely terrifying when you rev it. This adds to the overall menacing look of the car.
Maserati MC12 Corsa – Best in X-Class
Price: 2,500,000CR
Tune Code: 157 832 401 (Cheaper All-Rounder Alternative)
Don’t have 7-8 million CR for the Sesto but still want an overall excellent Italian X-Class experience? If so, then look no further than the Maserati MC12 Corsa. This car provides a well-rounded baseline for tuning, and you can take it to X-Class with our tune code.
It has great steering, balanced acceleration, and good brakes too. You can use this car for circuit, street, goliaths, and even sprint racing in FH5 and easily dominate the competition. It’s less than half the Sesto’s price, but performance-wise…not far behind.
Ferrari F50 GT 1996 – A Classic Ferrari
Price: 2,000,000CR
Class: S2
This here is a classic Italian hypercar from 1996. The Ferrari F50 GT is an iconic car featured in many games, movies, and adverts.
Every Ferrari fan knows about it and adores the sheer power of its 4.7L Naturally-Aspirated V12. This Ferrari has a top speed of 235 mph and handles and brakes well even with its stock configuration.
Lamborghini Sian Roadster – The Most Powerful Lambo
Price: 3,500,000CR
Class: S2
Have 3.5 million CR to burn? Looking for a new Lambo? We got you covered. The 2020 Lamborghini Sian Roadster is available for purchase through the Auto Showroom in FH5. This sports car boasts a 6.5L naturally-absorbed hybrid V12 that generates roughly 808 bhp.
Fun fact: The Sián is the most powerful Lamborghini in production.
Prepare to be amazed at how good the braking and cornering are on this car. You’ll be flooring it on the straights and even gain ground on corners. An Italian AWD sports car that does it all. What else do you need?
This was our list of the best Italian cars in Forza Horizon 5. We hope you liked it and were able to find a car that suits your taste and driving style. Check back with us if you want to read up on more fun FH5 Content.
