Winning races in Forza Horizon 5 is not just all about speed. Some of the fastest cars may struggle with traction, control, or even acceleration. If players want an advantage during straightaways, cars with the highest acceleration can quickly get to top speed and pull ahead in crucial moments.

Acceleration ratings are based on a 1-10 scale, with the highest cars being a 10. Here are the fastest accelerating cars available in Forza Horizon 5, not including DLC packs or Forza Edition cars.

The top three cars for acceleration rank at 10, so the top three will also take launch rating and stock performance index. Launch rating accounts for how fast the car responds to acceleration at a stop, and the stock performance index is a Forza rating for cars without upgrades.
