10 Best Drag Racing Cars in Forza Horizon 4

When gamers start thinking about the game made by Playground Games, Forza Horizon 4, usually what comes to mind is a vast race. However, an underrated feature of this epic open world racing car game is the straightforward drag race.

By taking sprints, which allow players to hit the gas right away and show off their fast and powerful vehicle builds. These races remove the bells and whistles of more complicated game events.

The mode focuses on speed, while it’s short and simple, but this event really showcases the adrenaline-pumping nature of Forza Horizon 4 in its purest form.

Drag racing is a fun thrill ride, but there are a number of cars that really get players excited and increase their chances of reaching the finish line first, and here is a list of the best cars suited for Drag Race in Forza Horizon 4.

1. McLaren F1 GT

Sleek and aerodynamic, this car is designed to penetrate the air at high speed, so the 97 supercar from England is the right choice for speedsters.

Not only that, the car is also equipped with a naturally aspirated V12.1L and 618 bhp. Its top speed is also quite impressive, as it can reach 214 mph.

Interestingly, if you do a full update on this F1 GT, the car can pass a quarter mile drag race in just seven seconds, making it the top ranking objectively in terms of drag racing.

2. Rimac Concept Two

Rimac Concept Two from Croatia is one of the coolest cars among the fastest hypercars ever. This car also has the distinction of being powered by a “magnet synchronous electric motor”.

With 1887 bhp and an impressive top speed of over 258 mph, this incredible vehicle can literally leave enemies in the dust. That is possible with its impressive acceleration, which allows the Rimac to fly down the street at 60 mph in just under 2 seconds.

And in fact, the Rimac Concept Two is a hard-to-find car Forza Horizon 4 players can’t get from Autoshow.

3. Shelby Monaco King Cobra

Back in the ’60s, this American racing car proves that classic cars can compete with cars with the latest technology. That’s exactly what happened to the Shelby Monaco King Cobra, with a “screaming 289 V8” producing 400 bhp and a lightweight body and aerodynamics that let it glide across the racetrack in an instant.

In terms of speed, there are better options, although the unique shape of this sleek race car matches the fast and straightforward nature of drag racing. But its sprinting ability is simply incredible, standing at 8.7 with an S1 build of 837.

Amazingly, this car can be obtained at a fairly cheap price, which is worth 550,000 CR at the Autoshow.

4. Ford Mustang RTR S5

With a warmer A 780 build, this one Mustang car offers incredible sprinting ability right out of the gate, allowing players to get a great jump start.

With a 460 horsepower Coyote V8 and a 10 speed paddle-shifted transmission, this tough car thrives on speed. Its solid handling makes it quite flexible and optimal even during snowy conditions.

The car is missing from the Autoshow, but you can get it by exchanging a pass at Horizon Backstage, and might also appear as a gift Forzathon Shop or Playlist Festival.

5. Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 FE

Paired with a naturally-aspirated 6.5L V12 engine and 700 bhp, this luxury supercar’s built-in model is of a stooped feel, though usually, the Forza Edition brings further upgrades. But this Edition offers updrage preset S2 997 which brings maximum engine with greater horsepower.

This more powerful preset makes the Lambo one of the fastest cars in the Forza Horizon 4 game, and is quite pleasing to the eye because it dazzles enemies behind it. The car takes just seconds to hit a solid 100 mph, and quickly hits a warp of 270 mph.

With extraordinary abilities in terms of lauch, speed, and acceleration, this car is a must try. But unfortunately, FE is absent from the Autoshow, but if you are lucky, FE can be obtained through Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin.

6. Maserati MC12 FE

While each sibling in the Maserati MC12 family develops in their own way, Forza Edition specifically get the job done in terms of drage race. After all, this is an upgraded variant that offers increased Speed and more powerful upgrade presets than the S2 997.

An ace in the Forza franchise, this sleek RWD supercar can prove that it’s still one of the best for racing, with its top speed of over 200 mph and superb lauch capability. You can get this car at the Autoshow for 1,000,000 CR.

7. Toyota Supra RZ

Touted as having an engine that “became a legend” and producing tons of horsepower, the Supra RZ thrived as both a fast and powerful race car and a luxury sports car.

Discontinued in 2022, the car reaffirmed its racing chops and proved it can hold its own against the elites of the modern era with its relaunch in 2021.

When combined with the S1 class presets, the Supra Horizon RZ Edition shines as the fastest S1 class car. This car can reach 248 mph as fast as lightning and offers solid launch capabilities.

You can get this car at the Autoshow for 250,000 CR, although it is also won after reaching Tier 2 at Horizon Life: The Eliminator.

8. Ferrari 599XX Evo

It’s hard to leave this classic Italian luxury car, and the 599XX Evolution reminds players why Ferrari is an icon in this regard. With a naturally aspirated 6.0L V12 and 740 bhp, the sleek supercar is capable of a top speed of 240 mph and can fly on the road to 320 mph when maxed out.

Being the fastest car in the game with this upgrade, you don’t have to worry about this 2021 car from Italy in terms of the fast-paced driving sensation that is drag race.

And as a bonus, it has good handling to back up its super speed, making it a great choice for Speed Zone and Speed Trap PR Stunt. Unsurprisingly, this is a hard-to-find vehicle that is certainly not available at the Autoshow.

9. Koenigsegg Agera RS

Slightly held back from its lukewarm acceleration, this rear-wheel-drive (RWD) hypercar is a great choice for drag racing. After all, the Koenigsegg Agera RS is the fastest car, not only in Forza Horizon 4, but in the entire Forza franchise.

Thanks to its 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8, and 1341 bhp of power, this car can really fly fast on the streets, reaching sky-high speeds of 280 mph. You can get this elite vehicle at the Autoshow at a price of 2,000,000 CR.

10. Porsche 906 Carrera 6

Equipped with a 210 brake horsepower (bhp) flat six carburetor engine, this 1966 classic from Germany offers a smooth ride, and is incredibly fast. Of course, when it comes to this retro race car from Porsche, there are faster cars to choose from.

However, the above-average acceleration and solid lauch capability make it a great choice for small drag races. The Porsche 906 Carrera 6 will hit the ground and leave opponents in the dust.

This antique car is one of the collections for hypercar lovers, because this one car is very hard to find which you can’t buy at Autoshow.
