Forza Horizon 5: Best Cars To Auction & Sell

Horizon 5 is a beautiful and fun racing game that combines the best of arcade and simulation mechanics to make for an accessible title that everyone enjoys. For what it’s worth, the game’s progression is pretty loaded and will blast players with new cars and events at every step of the way, which can become pretty overwhelming after a point.

However, there will come a time when players need as many credits as possible to afford the many cars, upgrades, cosmetics, and other such tidbits that the game lets players buy. This is where the Auction House comes into the picture, allowing players to sell off their precious vehicles and get a tidy profit in the process. Here are some cars that sell for boatloads in Forza Horizon 5‘s Auction House.

Updated May 20, 2024, by Vlad Mazanko:Forza Horizon 5‘s auction feature is a very dynamic system, especially considering there are always new vehicles being added to the game’s ever-growing car roster. Some cars become cheaper, some become more expensive, so players have to keep an eye on those dynamic changes if they want to maximize their profits. This list provides updates to several existing entries that can still be sold for the maximum amount of in-game currency. Several new pricey vehicles from the latest content updates have also been added.

12 Lotus Esprit V8

A Good Candidate To Exchange For Top-Tier Cars

The Lotus Esprit has appeared in many Forza games and has gained many fans over the years. With its distinctive retro appearance, the Lotus Esprit is hard to obtain. Still, once players have it, they might not want to hold onto it too tightly.

In its A class of Forza Horizon 5, the Lotus Esprit V8 remains pretty unremarkable, as it’s an over two-decade-old supercar. Despite its stylish looks, players might prefer something more effective and sell it for a 20 million credit payout at the Auction House.

11 Meyers Manx 2.0 EV

An Electric Version Of The Beloved Classic Buggy

The 2023 Meyers Manx 2.0 EV is an electric-powered reimagining of the classic buggy that was extremely popular in previous Forza games, including Forza Horizon 5. It is based on a completely new architecture, and is the first vehicle produced under the ‘Meyers’ name in 50 years.

Despite its obvious uniqueness as a rare electric off-road vehicle in the game, the Meyers Manx 2.0 EV is a bit gimmicky for serious races. It’s best sold at the Auction for a huge 20 million credit payout after players have had some fun with it.

10 BMW M4 Competition Coupé

A Newer Iteration Of The Classic, With A Signature Twin-Kidney Grille

The second generation of the beloved BMW M4 is more charged than ever, serving as a testament to its impressive performance on the open road. One of the newer BMWs in Forza Horizon 5, this vehicle’s appearance turns heads when exploring the world, especially considering how rare it is.

Players who are lucky enough to get one through the Festival Playlist or Forzathon Shop listing should consider selling it right away for a hefty 20 million credits. Apart from the modernized Bavarian looks, it isn’t too extraordinary in its class.

9 Hot Wheels Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom

This Sleek Custom Can Make Its Owner Happier — Or Richer

The 1970 Hot Wheels Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom is a looker, with its wide body kit and large flared fenders. It also packs quite a punch on a racing track. This power-hungry muscle produces over 1000 horsepower. It stands as one of the notable examples of the top-tier S1 class, although it may not be the fastest of them.

This is a classic hard-to-get car in Forza Horizon 5, as players can only earn one via the Festival Playlist or Forzathon Shop listing, and can’t obtain it via either a Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin. As of now, selling this Pontiac Custom will earn players a much-desired 20 million credits, but most may not want to part ways with it.

8 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

An Improvement Over The Aventador SV

The Lamborghini Aventador is one of the coolest cars of all time that players love to check out in any racing game. Forza Horizon 5 is no exception to this golden rule, and trying to get one of these cars in the game can be quite a challenge.

This is especially true for the SVJ variant, which is even pricier and requires a ton of money to procure. If players are lucky enough to get this car, then they can sell it in the Auction House for a cool 20 million.

7 Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Hoonicorn Mustang

It Feels Great To Control This Beast

The Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Hoonicorn Mustang — commonly known as the Hoonicorn V2 — is one of the most valuable cars in Forza Horizon 5. This car is extremely rare and always sells for around 20 million credits whenever it’s put on the auction house.

Not only does this car look great, but it’s well-rounded as well. Players can use this car to win a multitude of races in the game without breaking a sweat. Fortunately, for those who want to earn a buck by selling it and keep this car in the garage, just look for a much cheaper alternative — the Hoonigan Ford Hoonicorn Mustang. It is almost as fast and responsive, and it looks almost identical.

6 Volkswagen Beetle Forza Edition

A Supercharged Version Of The Classic Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle is a classic, popular car that is still going strong to this day. Players who want to check out this car in Forza Horizon 5 will be pleased to know that a special edition exists just for the game. It features a unique body kit, black paintwork, and a Speed Skills boost.

That being said, procuring the Beetle FE is an entirely different can of worms. If players get their hands on this car, they’re guaranteed a 20 million payout if they list it on the auction house. Keep in mind that players are almost guaranteed to acquire one upon completing the game’s ‘Safe Hands’ story mission chain.

5 Koenigsegg Agera

One Of The Fastest, Rarest Koenigseggs In The Game

The Koenigsegg Agera is one of the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5, which is no surprise given the pedigree of this manufacturer. It’s also an extremely expensive car that can take quite some time and money before players manage to obtain this hypercar.

Players who want to sell this car at the auction house will be happy to know that it sells for an extremely high price, given how rare this car is. That being said, the Agera’s top speed is so incredible that most people might not even want to put it up for auction in the first place!

4 Porsche 911 GT3

The Seventh Edition Of Porsche’s High-Performance Sports Car

The Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the most stylish cars in Forza Horizon 5. The car is pretty rare, so it’s easy to see why it would sell for a ton of credits at the auction house.

It’s a great well-rounded car that players can try in races, although it’s far from the best players can own in the game. For that reason, it’s not a big deal to auction it off for credits instead. There are several other 911 GT variants available in Forza Horizon 5 for much less money, although the 2021 911 GT3 is probably the newest and most technologically advanced.

3 Mercedes-AMG GT S

Equal Doses Of Speed And Luxury

Mercedes-AMG is a manufacturer with several great cars worth checking out in Forza Horizon 5. One of these vehicles is the GT S, which is a blast to drive since it’s pretty well-rounded across all fronts.

This car is also pretty rare and sells for a ton of money at the auction house. That being said, players may not want to sell this car, because it’s one of the better A-class vehicles they can use to win races. For those favoring that car and still wanting to make some cash, consider getting the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R. This track-focused GT S variant, is much easier to get.

2 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante

A Very Rare, And No Less Impressive Lambo Variation

There are many rare Lamborghini cars in Forza Horizon 5 that sell for a ton of cash, and one such vehicle is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder. This particular model of the Gallardo is a rare find, making it easy to see why so many people covet this vehicle.

Auctioning this vehicle is bound to net a cool 20 million that can be used by the seller to bolster other vehicles or buy more valuable cars in the game. Players can also keep this car for themselves if need be, given how powerful this vehicle is.

1 Honda NSX-R GT

One Of The Rarest Cars, But Not Impressive Otherwise

The rarest cars are the ones that can’t be found via wheelspins and are pretty hard to acquire otherwise. The Honda NSX-R GT falls in this category, and it takes a great stroke of luck to obtain this car against all odds either in the Forzathon Shop or as a part of a Festival Playlist.

This pre-tuned version of the Honda NSX-R isn’t really all that impressive in terms of performance, so players who want to earn a ton of credits should definitely put this vehicle up for action. 20 million credits are pretty much guaranteed given how rare this car is.
