2021 Lexus LC 500
The Lexus LC has been in production since 2017 and has iteratively evolved with each model since then. The 2021 spec trims down on the weight and improves the suspension system to ensure the car feels more connected to the road, offering a more robust and stable driving experience while retaining the luxurious looks and feel that Lexus is known for. In fact, the “LC” stands for “Luxury Coupe,” and the line itself replaced the SC, which was formerly Lexus’ luxury car of choice from 1991 until 2010. Also new for 2021 is cornering assist with braking control, so you can maximize its 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 with confidence. Producing 471-horsepower and 398 lb-ft. of torque at its peak, the LC achieves 0-60mph in only 4.4 seconds and remains a testament to Lexus’ focus of elegance in driving.
2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
As the larger, more extreme and even faster sibling of the Blackwing duo, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is the V8-powered sports sedan that automotive dreams are made of. Its high-performance numbers are simply astounding with 668-horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. That means it’s fast, very fast actually. For top speed, the CT5-V Blackwing breaks the 200mph barrier, while Car and Driver testing has penned in the 0-60mph statistic at 3.6 seconds, with the 100mph target coming in at 7.7 seconds. That’s almost two seconds faster than the CT4-V Blackwing! It’s also sporting the same racing-inspired trimming as its smaller counterpart to deliver incredible downforce and ensure a smooth and nimble drive. Simply put, there’s no lifting this one off the asphalt, until it takes on the more elevated terrain of Forza Horizon 5’s landscapes of course.
2021 Audi RS 6 Avant
Combine a 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with the chassis of a station wagon and you get the car that Audi enthusiasts have always desired. Indeed, the 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant is dream come true for fans of the German automaker, and it's backed by high-speed performance numbers that are staggering for a vehicle of its class. Its high-end Tiptronic transmission delivers the engine’s 591 horses to the signature Quattro all-wheel drive system to achieve a top speed of 189mph and it reaches 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds. With notably aggressive yet nuanced RS-specific styling including a wide body design and flared wheel arches, a classy modern interior, and a large capacity trunk to secure all your road-trip essentials, the RS 6 Avant has it all, and is undoubtedly a road champion in true practicality.
2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing
The successor to the beloved Cadillac ATS-V is here. With a rear-wheel drive platform and a 3.6-liter twin turbocharged V6 engine under the hood, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is the next must have addition to your Forza Horizon 5 garage. Or perhaps that title belongs to the more formidable CT5-V Blackwing, which is also coming to the game. Both are excellent choices for cruising and racing around Mexico’s asphalt roads, and with a low-level spoiler and launch control on each, they’re also the perfect choice for drag racing. Power wise, the CT4-V Blackwing delivers 472-horsepower with 445 lb-ft of torque, which means, according to Car and Driver testing, it can go from standstill to 60mph in 4 seconds, and to 100mph in 9.4 seconds. Cadillac estimates a top speed of 189mph. It’s a mean machine in a smaller package to the CT5-V Blackwing, which makes it ideal for just about everything.
