Racing is about than just speed. But man, it’s fun to just blaze down a road at 200 MPH, isn’t it? Forza Horizon 5 offers a ton of cars to choose from, but naturally, many players will seek out which of these cars is the fastest.
Before we get on with this, a quick reminder: pure speed isn’t everything in racing. But it you’re looking to knock out some speedtraps or looking to participate in some drag races, then speed is indeed what you will need. But what is the fastest car in Fora Horizon 5, and how should you tune it?

Without question, the fastest car in Forza Horizon 5 is the Koenigsegg Jesko. Even without a comprehensive tuning setup, the Jesko is capable of insane feats when it comes to top-end speed, possessing 1600 horsepower (HP) straight out of the showroom and being able to peak at speeds in excess of 300 MPH. But with the right setup, the Jesko is capable of shattering the competition, at least when it comes down to pure pace.
In order to obtain the Koenigsegg Jesko, you can unlock it through two different methods:
- 1.) Buy it from the Autoshow for 2,800,000 CR
- 2.) Unlock it for free as a reward
- In order to unlock the Koenigsegg Jesko for free, you must first unlock the V10 storyline in the Baja playlist in Horizon Adventure. Upon unlocking it, you must complete all seven missions in the V10 storyline with at least three stars.
But before getting into the actual tuning of the car, it’s important to fit the Koenigsegg Jesko with as many upgrades that directly impact speed. This includes making your rim sizes on both your front and rear wheels as large as possible, as well as installing upgrades like a Race Weight Reduction kit. To sum it up, go into every category and select what the “Race” option is as most of those are centered around increasing high speed rather than impacting a car’s maneuverability.
How To Tune The Koenigsegg Jesko
OK, now onto the good stuff — how to tune the Koenigsegg Jesko. In short, your setup should revolve around having as little drag as possible and optimizing straight-line speed. I find that YouTuber Venemie has a spectacular tune for the Koenigsegg Jesko that you should absolutely give a shot. Predictably, it boils down to tuning the car to in as many extreme ways as possible.
