Forza Horizon 5 is one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year, with the biggest list of models and manufacturers in the series yet. No matter which races you want to hop into first, you’ll want to get the fastest car you can.

If you’re saving your Forza Horizon 5 tokens for a fast car that can also handle itself drifting, these five should definitely be hot on your radar. Keep in mind, most of these cars will require the Formula Drift Pack DLC to unlock and use. If enjoy drifting and drift races, this DLC is definitely worth picking up.
