Forza Horizon 5: Best Cars To Upgrade
Upgrading vehicles to improve performance is just one exciting feature of Forza Horizon 5, and these are the best cars to upgrade.
Every car in Forza Horizon 5 can be customized on the inside, with flexible options including complete engine or transmission swaps. However, when it comes to visual customization, the game isn't as deep. It usually offers minor options like changing the front bumper, rear wing, and rims. Despite this, some cars in the game have widebody kit options available that transform their looks and impact their performance on the road. Below are some of the best cars in Forza Horizon 5 with such options, with each car being available for purchase directly from the Autoshow.
Updated January 25, 2025 by Vlad Mazanko: Unlike the Need for Speed series, full widebody kits are relatively rare in Forza Horizon 5, and sadly, they aren't available for every car players might want. That said, widebody kits remain one of the best options for players aiming to enhance both a car's looks and performance with minimal effort. These upgrades often give vehicles a sportier, more stylish appearance paired with an aggressively low stance.
To help players get the most out of this feature, the list has been updated to include more cars with full widebody kits, highlighting affordable options that elevate both the visual appeal and performance of these customizable rides.
20 Infiniti Q60 Concept 2015
Forza Edition Widebody Kit
- Price: 50,000 CR
- Class: A 735
- Top Speed: 187 mph
Just like in Forza Horizon 4, the Infiniti Q60 Concept stands out as a fantastic and affordable Super Saloon with immense potential for upgrades in Forza Horizon 5. Thanks to the Forza Edition conversion kit, which includes a full widebody and extra performance upgrades, this car becomes one of the best early-game options. It's a reliable, robust vehicle with smooth and responsive handling, making it a joy to drive.
Particularly well-suited for street races, the Q60 Concept gains a notably stylish and sporty appeal after the conversion. It blends seamlessly alongside iconic tuner street cars like the Nissan GT-R, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, and their modern counterparts in the street racing scene.
19 Ford Focus RS 2017
Forza Edition Widebody Kit
- Price: 59,000 CR
- Class: A 702
- Top Speed: 172 mph
Widely celebrated for its rally and off-road prowess, the Ford Focus RS might initially be dismissed by newcomers as just another average Super Hot Hatch — but that couldn't be further from the truth. Even without its Forza Edition conversion, the Focus RS is a solid and highly affordable all-wheel-drive option, easily earning its place as a reliable workhorse capable of excelling across a wide variety of racing disciplines in the game.
With some additional upgrades and the signature Forza widebody kit, the Focus RS truly comes into its own, especially in non-extreme off-roading scenarios. Think of it as the younger sibling to some of the top off-road vehicles in Forza Horizon 5, offering an impressive balance of speed, affordability, versatility, and cross-country performance.
18 Cadillac ATS-V 2016
Forza Edition Widebody Kit
- Price: 65,000 CR
- Class: A 716
- Top Speed: 185 mph
With few Cadillacs available in the game, the Cadillac ATS-V stands out as a luxurious yet powerful vehicle that epitomizes executive class. Affordable and equipped with the full Forza Edition widebody performance kit, the ATS-V is a force to be reckoned with. The conversion includes oversized front and rear bumpers, large diffusers, a massive rear wing, and an extended wheelbase with a low stance. This pack not only enhances the car's straight-line speed but also reduces its weight for improved handling.

As a high-performance variant of the Challenger SRT8 392, the SRT Hellcat is a powerhouse, capable of hitting an impressive top speed of 207 mph with ease. For tuning enthusiasts, this is just the starting point — dedicated efforts to push its limits can unlock its full potential, making it an unstoppable beast on the track.
16 Honda NSX-R 1992
Rocket Bunny Widebody Kit
- Price: 90,000 CR
- Class: B 691

A true staple of the Forza series (and many other arcade racing games), the Honda NSX-R exudes a distinct '90s charm that's enough to captivate collectors — before even considering the stunning Rocket Bunny kit conversion. This exceptional body kit includes sleek front and side bumpers, and a sporty hood with extra vents, but the real showstopper is at the rear of the car.
The dramatic transformation at the back features a striking central exhaust, an enormous anti-wing with robust supports, and a massive diffuser, creating a masterpiece of tuner design. This upgrade elevates the stock model into the upper echelon of custom tuner rides, making it a must-have for anyone who likes to spend time in their garage.
15 BMW M3 2008

- Top Speed: 186 mph
The BMW M3 is one of the most versatile setups in Forza Horizon 5, boasting not one but two full widebody conversion kits: Liberty Walk and StreetFighter LA. If only more vehicles in the game offered this level of visual customization, though perhaps we can hope for more in Forza Horizon 6.

Off-road driving is an inescapable part of Playground Games' Forza Horizon 4. What are the best cars in the game for off-road racing?
Interestingly, the two widebody kits for the BMW M3 are quite similar in design, making them nearly indistinguishable to the untrained eye. Both feature large front bumpers, subtle rear wings, and a wider chassis, all paired with an aggressively low stance. From a performance standpoint, adding these transformation kits can elevate the M3 into the higher A-tier class. However, players aiming to build a competitive S1 setup will need to invest in additional engine upgrades.
14 Toyota GR Supra 2020
HKS Widebody Kit
- Price: 55,000 CR
- Class: A 731
- Top Speed: 187 mph
The Toyota GR Supra is a brand-new car in Forza Horizon 5 that wasn't available to players in Forza Horizon 4. It's also one of the starting cars granted to every player. It's affordable, packs a punch, and features an HKS widebody kit with several presets (including a drift variant). What else could anyone want from a sports car?
The new Supra's wide range of advantages has led to it being one of the most popular vehicles in the Modern Sports Cars category in Forza Horizon 5, and rightfully so. With some upgrades, it can shine even in the S2 class alongside some ten times more expensive rides.
13 Audi RS7 Sportback 2013
Forza Edition Widebody Kit

Though costly, it provides a quick and efficient way to transform the stock version into a racing-ready sportscar capable of dominating the S1 class.
The Forza Edition conversion includes standard enhancements: large diffusers, a rear anti-wing, a widened wheelbase, and a low, competition-ready stance. These upgrades elevate the Audi RS7 Sportback's performance to a new level, making it a serious contender on the track.
12 Lexus RC F 2015
Rocket Bunny Widebody Kit

Players can invest further in the vehicle's performance, boosting its power to complement the improved aerodynamics.

11 Porsche 911 GT2 1995
RWB Rauh Welt Begriff Widebody Kit
- Price: 550,000 CR
- Class: A 753
- Top Speed: 182 mph
As the most expensive and slowest car here, the iconic Porsche 911 GT2 might not seem like the best option for extensive visual customization. However, that impression is deceptive. Its complete RWB widebody kit combines Japanese and Euro tuning elements and alters this classic Porsche supercar's every part. With this, the 911 GT2 becomes one of the most recognizable and stylish cars available in Forza Horizon 5.
There are indeed better options available if players are looking purely for performance. Still, the 911 GT2 stands out in the Retro Super Cars category for those seeking something special.
