1. Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (1955) - 143,000,000 CR

The 300 SLR is the most expensive car in Forza Horizon 5 by a wide margin. Its 143 million credit price tag directly mirrors the $143 million paid at a private Mercedes-Benz auction in 2022, setting a permanent record as the most expensive car ever sold in the real world.

Only two prototypes of the 300 SLR were ever built. The car used a 3.0L straight-8 engine with desmodromic valves, producing 310 bhp, and weighed just 1,984 lbs. In 1955, Stirling Moss and co-driver Denis Jenkinson drove it to victory at the Mille Miglia, averaging nearly 100 mph over 992 miles. That record has never been beaten.

The car is available from the Autoshow at full price. Some players have found it on the Auction House for significantly less due to the 20 million credit cap, with reports of listings appearing for under 13 million credits. Those listings are rare, as sellers take a substantial loss listing it at the cap versus the 143 million they paid.

2. Ferrari 250 GTO (1962) - 50,000,000 CR

The 250 GTO is the second most valuable car in the game, but it cannot be purchased from the Autoshow or listed on the Auction House. It is a Barn Find located Northwest of Playa Azul. Its 50 million credit figure exists only in the Car Collection menu, where it contributes to your overall collection value.

Only 33 were ever built. The 250 GTO ran a 3.0L V12 producing 300 bhp and won the GT class at both the 1962 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2018, one sold privately for $70 million, directly reflected by its in-game valuation.

To add it to your garage, locate its barn in the northwest of Playa Azul and complete the restoration process. There is no other way to obtain it.

3. Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé (1965) - 30,000,000 CR

The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé held the title of most expensive purchasable car in FH5 before the 300 SLR arrived. It remains one of the priciest cars in the Autoshow and carries real racing history behind its credit value.

Only 6 were ever built. Peter Brock designed the Daytona Coupé specifically to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, running a 4.7L V8 producing 390 bhp. It worked, winning the GT class at the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1965, the car won the FIA GT Manufacturers' Championship, breaking Ferrari's hold on the title.

In FH5, it can be purchased from the Autoshow, obtained through Wheelspins, or unlocked by completing the "The One With the Hairy Chest" Accolade.

4. Aston Martin DBR1 (1958) - 22,500,000 CR

The DBR1 is one of the rarest racing cars ever built, with only 5 produced. Its 22.5 million credit price reflects the historical weight the car carries.

The DBR1 ran a 3.0L straight-6 producing 254 bhp and weighed just 1,930 lbs. Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby drove it to victory at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans. That same year, it won the World Sportscar Championship for Aston Martin, the only WSC title in the brand's history. In FH5, the DBR1 is available from the Autoshow or via the Forza Shop.

5. Jaguar D-Type (1956) - 22,000,000 CR

The D-Type sits just below the DBR1 in price and carries a comparable record at Le Mans, winning three consecutive times from 1955 to 1957.

Around 75 D-Types were built in total. It used a 3.4L XK straight-6 and featured a monocoque body structure, which was a significant technical advancement for the era. Its 1956 Le Mans victory came as a privateer entry through Ecurie Ecosse, not a factory team. In FH5, it can be obtained from the Autoshow, through Wheelspins, or by completing the "Sold Out" Accolade.

Final Words

The five most expensive cars in Forza Horizon 5 are priced the way they are because of what they represent outside the game. Real-world auction records, Le Mans victories, and production numbers in the single digits all feed directly into their in-game valuations.

The 300 SLR sits at the top by a wide margin, and unless you find it on the Auction House at a capped listing, reaching 143 million credits takes serious grinding. The 250 GTO is the only one on this list you can't buy outright, so tracking down the barn is the only path to adding it to your collection.
