What are the best electric cars in Forza Horizon 5?

The best overall electric car in Forza Horizon 5 is the Porsche 918 Spyder. With impressive acceleration and launch and fairly high speed, braking and handling stats, the hybrid supercar is one of the game’s fastest S2 Class cars in-game.

With a price tag of 850,000 CR, you may want to start saving up your Wheelspins if you’re not keen on splurging on an expensive electric car. Budget-wise, the 2017 Acura NSX should appease electric car enthusiasts with its adequate performance stats and a cool 170,000 CR price tag.

However, the title of the fastest electric in-game belongs to the Ferrari LaFerrari, but this car is extremely rare and hard to acquire. Players will need to rely on the Auction Houses to bid on the LaFerrari or obtain the car through the Car Collector reward.
