What are the DLC cars in Forza Horizon 5?
Forza Horizon games can add new cars to the list via a ton of different methods, but the most common is through DLC or expansions, such as the Forza Horizon 5 Car Pass. DLC cars may require additional purchases to acquire, but it's one of several ways Playground Games can introduce a wide variety of vehicles to Forza Horizon 5, especially vehicles that may not have been possible at launch (DLC can allow for new partnerships and agreements).

What are the other cars in Forza Horizon 5?
Anniversary Edition cars
To celebrate a decade since the release of the original Forza Horizon game, Playground Games introduced the Horizon 10-Year Anniversary update for Forza Horizon 5. Amongst many other additions and fresh content, the update also included the exclusive 2013 Dodge Viper SRT GTS Anniversary Edition, a custom version of the cover car that adorned the art for Forza Horizon.
The 2013 Dodge Viper SRT GTS Anniversary Edition can be obtained by completing the Horizon Origins Horizon Story added with the Horizon 10-Year Anniversary update, and is specially tuned to the top of S1-Class. It also features an exclusive preset that can be applied to tune the car to the top of S2-Class. Unlike Forza Editions, the 2013 Dodge Viper SRT GTS Anniversary Edition does not feature a unique ability or perk.
Cover cars
Playground Games kept the cover cars for Forza Horizon 5 close to their chest for ages, but the secret was finally spilled during the Xbox Gamescom 2021 event, when Playground finally revealed the cover art and cars for Forza Horizon 5. Many players speculated that the delayed wait for an announcement indicated Playground was waiting on a brand-new car to be revealed, but it turns out initial guesses were spot on.
The official Forza Horizon 5 cover cars include:
- 2021 Mercedes-AMG ONE
- 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands
These are excellent choices for FH5, with each car being truly impressive in their own right. The Mercedes-AMG ONE combines Formula 1 hybrid technology with a street-legal car for the first time, resulting in an incredible hypercar. On the other hand, Ford has revived their long-dormant Bronco moniker with a rugged and versatile off-roading monster. Both cars should be well suited to FH5's diverse Mexican landscapes.
The official Forza Horizon 5 cover cars include:
- Forza Horizon: 2013 SRT Dodge Viper GTS
- Forza Horizon 2: 2014 Lamborghini Huracán
- Forza Horizon 3: 2016 Lamborghini Centenario and 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor
- Forza Horizon 4: 2018 McLaren Senna and 1997 Land Rover Defender 90
- Forza Horizon 5: 2021 Mercedes-AMG ONE and 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands
Starter cars
Comparisons to Pokémon aside, Forza Horizon games do grant players a choice of starter car when they're first beginning their latest journey. Forza Horizon 5 will continue this tradition by granting players the choice of three different vehicles when they start the game. However, FH5 will deviate from the norm by adding all three starter cars to your garage, regardless of which vehicle you choose to begin with.
Here are the three starter cars (and the first cars you'll earn) in Forza Horizon 5.
- 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray
- 2020 Toyota Supra GR
- 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands
Preorder cars
New Forza entries have historically featured several preorder cars, or vehicles exclusive to preorders at specific retailers. The move saw customers who purchased the title at storefronts like Amazon and Best Buy receive exclusive rides, otherwise unobtainable in-game. These preorder cars were tuned to be exceptionally powerful, and quickly became some of the rarest cars in their respective games, leaving many community members to be frustrated after launch.
Playground Games has transitioned away from this theme with Forza Horizon 5, and has confirmed that there are no preorder cars arriving with the game. Overall, it doesn't matter where or how you preorder or purchase Forza Horizon 5, as no editions will come with exclusive vehicles.
However, players can earn an exclusive Forza Edition car by purchasing the limited-edition Forza Horizon 5 Xbox Controller, which can now be purchased (you can read more about this above).
