Hardest Cars To Unlock In Forza Horizon 4

As one of the biggest racing games in the world, the Forza Horizon series has always featured a vast number of cars with impressive detail placed upon them. Ranging from more normal, everyday cars to extremely fast supercars and powerful off-roaders, Forza Horizon has a car for everyone.

However, not every car is as easy to unlock as others. Some cars can require intense grinding or supernatural levels of luck in order to obtain, and Forza Horizon 4‘s cars are no different. The hardest to obtain cars in Forza Horizon 4 aren’t always the best, but unlocking them will at least grant players the right to brag about their achievements.

7 Jaguar D-Type/Maserati 8CTF

Obtained Via Purchase For 10,000,000 Credits And From A Single Season

The normal way to acquire cars in Forza Horizon 4 is by buying them directly from the Autoshow. Most cars aren’t ridiculously expensive, with the higher echelon of supercars having their price range set from around the 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 credit bracket. There are even some very well-performing cars available for under a million.

Forza Horizon 4: Best Cheap Cars To Get Early

Forza Horizon 4 features over 750 cars to unlock — here are some of the best and cheapest every new player should get ASAP.

However, the highest priced cars available on the Autoshow can be bought for 10,000,000 credits. Of these, the Jaguar D-Type and the Maserati 8CTF are the rarest by virtue of only being available one other time outside of the Autoshow. The D-Type was available in the spring of Series 27 via the Flying Fifties championship, while the 8CTF was also available in the spring of Series 27 after completion of 80% of the season. The other cars priced at 10,000,000 credits have been obtainable more times than these two cars, making them not only difficult to get due to their price, but also because of their limited availability via other acquisition means. At the same time, driving a D-Type around a British open-world game can add to the thematic experience.

6 Alfa Romeo P3

Obtained After Purchasing Edinburgh Castle

Some cars in Forza Horizon 4 have special unlock requirements, and the Alfa Romeo P3 is one such car. To acquire it, players must purchase Edinburgh Castle, one of the available homes.

However, purchasing Edinburgh Castle requires 15,000,000 credits, making it one of the most expensive things to buy in the game. Despite this, if players are willing to grind for a bit, there are some custom races that offer more credits than what players would receive by organically playing the game, making the expense a little easier.

5 HSV GTS

Obtained From Series 25 And 29 Or A Backstage Pass

Every Backstage car technically has the same acquisition difficulty, only requiring a Backstage Pass to achieve them. These cars can still be hard to obtain given the limited amount of Backstage Pass players can earn, especially compared to credits.

However, the HSV GTS would technically be the rarest of the bunch, since it has only been available twice outside the Backstage, being obtainable in Series 25 as part of the Down Under championship during summer and Series 29 with 80% completion during autumn.

4 Various Horizon Life Cars

Cars That Require Grinding To Achieve

Some of the more difficult cars to obtain in Forza Horizon 4 are unlocked after achieving certain milestones via simply playing the game. Like other cars, they can be bought from the Auction House, but it is not the standard way of attaining such cars.

Some of the Horizon Life cars can be acquired after achieving all stars in a Horizon Story, which could take a while depending on how difficult the story is. Some can be obtained via photography of a number of cars, and others can be attained after reaching specific tiers in various Horizon Life challenges, such as Stunt Jumps, Horizon Super7, or The Eliminator. These aren’t necessarily the rarest cars, but getting them can be difficult, especially when trying to obtain all of them.

3 Aston Martin Vulcan Forza Edition

Available Via Wheelspins

Not every car in Forza Horizon 4 is obtainable through grinding. Some cars are acquired based on pure luck via a wheelspin. The Aston Martin Vulcan Forza Edition is one such car that can be achieved from a wheelspin, and it gives bonuses to Clean Skills.

These wheelspin cars can get featured occasionally in a series for players to acquire, with the Vulcan only appearing in Series 5, 9, and 23. However, this car can actually be quite good for races and will serve players well if they obtain it, especially when doing jumps.

2 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe Forza Edition

A Car Achieved From Luck

Wheelspins are a pretty big part of Forza Horizon 4, granting cars, money, and other extra items, simply by playing the game. Some special cars can be obtained via the system, and the Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe Forza Edition is one such vehicle, offering a bonus to Speed Skills when being driven.

However, its acquisition is mainly luck-based, with players requiring good fortune for the wheelspin to land on the car to unlock it. It has been available rarely in different series, such as in the autumn for Series 6 for purchase from the Forzathon Shop and in the Festival Playlist during the summer of Series 9 via the completion of 80% of the season. Some other cars unique to wheelspin have been featured more times as an acquisition in different series than the Type 2 De Luxe, making it hard to obtain due to its main acquisition method of getting lucky in the wheelspin.

1 Ford Capri Forza Edition

Requiring Completion Of The Superstar Star Card

The Ford Capri Forza Edition has a reputation for being a difficult car to obtain in Forza Horizon 4. Its acquisition method has been changed during the game’s lifespan, but is still tricky to achieve.

To obtain the Ford Capri Forza Edition, players essentially have to 100% the game. The car is part of the Superstar Star Card, requiring full completion of many of the game’s challenges, such as completing races, doing PR stunts, and exploring the world. It might not be the best car in the game, but players will definitely take notice of it.
