TheForza Motorsportseries is one of the definitive simulation and arcade racing games in the industry. The IP is made up of a long line ofsuccessful entriesand is largely responsible for shaping the genre.Forzahas partly moved away from its simulator leanings, embracing an open-world concept with the epic that isForza Horizon 4.
Giving players more freedom usually amps up the fun factor, andForza Horizon 4has this quality in spades. However, with freedom comes more challenges and activities. This includes the daunting task of saving up countless Credits to buy expensive and fast rides — and there aremany. When that point is reached, it’s important to know what cars are best for one’s hard-earned Credits. And given the changing seasons, it’s also useful to know which season they excel in.
Updated July 24, 2025 by Stephen LaGioia:Despite the recentepic fifth game in the Horizon series, FH4 newcomers and veterans alike are finding their way back to the alluring landscapes of Great Britain. This is largely thanks to a steady stream of awesome new cars for players to show off, and recent discounts on the game, which have spurred a resurgence in Playground Games' robust racer from 2018.
Though rotating seasonal events and DLC content — like the colorful LEGO Speed Champions— also have players coming back for more exhilarating cruises in their various hypercars. As such, it seemed fitting to deck out and refresh this list with more of the most expensive cars the game has to offer, while further highlighting which season they most thrive in.
16Aston Martin Vulcan
1,500,000 CR At The Autoshow
This British-made Aston Martin Vulcan is not only stylish for its (relatively) low price tag, but it’s also quite fast. It can go up against other supercars like Ferrari and McLaren but will cost much less. While there are more expensive cars to be sure, this entry has been included for its overall value in terms of performance and popularity.
Because the Vulcan is so low to the ground, and only really excels in street driving, taking it out during winter would likely set the stage for control issues and wildness. As a whole, this is best suited forsummer and fall.Players can easily zip around the track without worrying about it throwing out its back.
15McLaren Speedtail
2,250,000 CR
Players buying the McLaren Speedtail probably have a lot of Credits they’re waiting to spend, and have done most of the game. The Speedtail is not only somewhat expensive,but also rare. Driving this car, players will need to keep fairly steady and straight to get those high speeds. Since it’s stellar for drag racing, turning wouldn’t be an issue.
Coming off those turns won’t matter because the Speedtail has one the fastestaccelerationspeeds out of most cars of its kind. Driving this car makes the game itself feel different, and that is probably why it translates over to the next-gen console well. The Speedtail is good for the lighter seasons, like autumn and summer, but winter wouldn’t be an easy time.
14Ford GT40 Mk I
This classic car is rather distinct on account of it being solely available as aBarn Find in the Spring Season— specificallyMoorhead Wind Farm.Players should seek it out, as its value stands at9 million CR. This value, along with its fairly common nature,makes it a great option to sell at Auctions.
Speed and launchare its best qualities, making it optimal for handling the rough, muddy conditions of autumn. With relatively poor braking,rainy spring and icy winters don’t typically favor it.But it can certainly thrive insummer.
The similarGT40 Mk II Le Mans outmatches this in price, costing 10 million, though it must be purchased, and isn’t quite as rare. For the sake of avoiding redundancy, that car’s been left out of getting its own entry and instead merged with this one.
13Alfa Romero P3
Not At Autoshow - Purchase Edinburgh Castle
This 1930s antique is among the most coveted rare cars in the game, thanks to its unique appearance and surprising capabilities on the road. As one might expect, players will first need to save up loads of Credits to afford Edinburgh Castle, whichthenunlocks this classic race car.
The asking price of this property is a very steep15,000,000 CR.Between lavish properties like this, and the many pricey rides in the game, players will want to take advantage ofoptimal ways to earn this in-game currency.
Thankfully, the caritselfis “on the house”, and is valued at10,000,000 CR.This fact certainly adds to its appeal, as does its surprisingly potentlaunchstatistic. Since much of its usefulness derives from its ability to hit the ground running, slippery, dirt-laden, or muddy roads should be kept to a minimum with the Alfa Romero P3. Thus,summeris the best season to flaunt this classic.
12Shelby Daytona Coupe
8,000,000 CR
The Shelby Daytona Coupe is an old-school roadster that will cost players several million Credits, but its solid, reliable nature makes the price tag worth it. This all-around good spec car is built for racing, and it does that well. Typically, its competition is the Ferrari 250 GTO, so it goes without saying that this car can handle itself.
For a car that has a v-8 engine and about 390 horsepower, it makes sense why it’s on the list. Plus, being all-around solid, it can stand with modern-day cars if the player consistently upgrades it. Generally speaking, the Shelby is a race car, and a heavy one. It’s able to hold fairly steady andkeep an even keel in the winter.
11Bugatti Type 35 C
10,000,000 CR
Powered by a two-litersupercharged straight-eight engine, this old, humble car packs quite a bit of power for its age and size. The rear-wheel drive Grand Prix ride by Bugatti quickly shows why it’s the most successful racing model of this French manufacturer.
With its small tires, average handling, and convertible build, it’s perhaps best driven in thesummer. However, the car is so drastically light in weight, that its ability to coast and drift about would also make it a great choice forwinterandspring— at least for those looking tostring together epic skill points and earn ample Credits.
10Ferrari Spa 330 P4
This retro race car boasts a4-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine and 450 bhp (brake horsepower).This, along with its flat, aerodynamic design, allows it to zip and pierce through theautumnsludge without breaking much of a sweat.
Of course, streets should be emphasized rather than off-roading, but this distinct Ferrari tends to handle the elements a bit better than other race cars of its ilk. It also helps that this car is just plain swift on the road, with speed edging out other traits as its strongest statistic.
9Ferrari 250LM
Ferraris have a knack for costing massive amounts of Credits, and the 250LM from 1963 is no different. This one stands out for its appealing blend of retro charm and modern sleekness in terms of design. At the same time, it has the potentcy to live up to its aesthetic.
This car, which weighs a light2094 lbswhile sporting aV12 engine, can heat up on the drier, grippy roads of thesummerseason. Indeed,speedis by far its strongest ability, but with decenthandlingand the ability to zip through the lush British locales, it can also be tempting to use inwinter, as players canuse it as a great drifting car.
8Porsche #23 917/20
Even with a rather unappealing nickname like “Pink Pig,” this German race car manages to look quite sleek, especially given its production year that dates back to 1971. This wide, stubby car stands out in terms of stature, statistics, and general traits. This hog demands quite a high asking price, costing a whopping10 million CRat the Autoshow.
It has a particularly stronglaunchandaccelerationstat, coupled with a lightweight build. Thus, it’s best designed to handle thesummer, when the roads usually lack slippage from rain, slush, or snow. Drivers should avoid spring, as the low-slung, lightweight nature of the car is not ideal for the deep streams and rushing waters.
7Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
This mid-engined sports car from Italy is a true classic, as its sky-high price tag of10 millionmight illustrate.
Being as lightweight as it is, and a bit poor in the handling and braking department, flying around the snowy streets in winter isn’t a good idea. Its stellarlaunchand 6-speed transmission, however, make it a great option for street and drag races in thesummer, when the roads are most likely to be dry.
