Forza Horizon 5 - The BEST & FASTEST X-Class Cars in Forza Horizon 5 (For Racing On Goliath)

[@DonJoewonSong]

I think we all know which car will be Number 1, but it still blows my mind just how much faster it is compared to everything else in the game!! It's leagues ahead of everything!! :/ Hopefully if the Mercedes AMG ONE Forza Edition ever becomes available, we might have a new all-round fastest X-Class beast!! **Fingers Crossed**

[@bonjourlesgens3172]

amg one forza edition would be absolutely incredible

[@nathanb2100]

Hopefully :). I'm also waiting for the full production version of the full sized car IRL 😅

[@Sharpshooter111]

Naw, it won’t be as fast unless they nerf the sesto FE, which I also don’t think they’ll do cause it’ll make leaderboard grinding for speed zones etc. impossible in the future. Think about the normal sesto maxed out vs the amg one maxed out.

[@yorha2e679]

Unless the AMG one FE has an engine swap, otherwise I don't think the "F1" engine in this car can beat the current Sesto Elemento FE. I just hope they put a real F1 engine into the AMG, not a nerfed one.

[@TangoBlaze]

The AMG ONE is a pretty neat looking car and it's got some performance. But I want MORE performance. And so I am hoping they add an FE version. The Sesto is legit OP. But Forza lately only has been nerfing cars when the next game in the series comes out. So ya. The car that need a HUGE HUGE HUGE TIME BUFF, the NIO EP9.

[@crucialeel]

Awesome vid! I have a suggestion, maybe in addition to having the share code for the tune, also have a share code for the livery because there are some really nice looking ones!

[@DonJoewonSong]

I'll make sure to do that from now on.. I always forget to share the Design codes.

@@jacobm2625 in FH3 and older it wasn’t that good, especially in fh3 since it had bugged tire compound

[@sean87]

I overlooked the Mosler since the XX Evo was introduced in FH4 but that thing is a razor it handles so well

[@DonJoewonSong]

The Mosler is more dominant in S2 when in RWD, the sheer power it can have in it's class is just silly. In X-Class it's just pure bonkers.

[@jackcolson4745]

I did a racing V12 build with the mosler, and even though the theoretical G's aren't at the standards of of FXX K Evo or the IE, if you tune it right it grips very well.

[@vaulthunterfromterra4053]

Meanwhile, I’m just over here vibing in my S2 VW FE death-trap

[@sean87]

So true I use it for online S2 races I find it has little to no room for errors at check points and the grip is insane around fast bends

[@joshuawells4023]

If you think the Sesto FE has a big advantage, just remember this.... The sesto FE achieves that time as the LEAST POWERFUL car on this leaderboard. That car is basically a dev cheat car that somehow made it into the game. If you want the extra stats (Numbers rounded) = Maserati 1400bhp, Apollo 1500bhp, X5 FE 2000bhp, Mclaren 1400bhp, Ferrari 1400bhp, Mosler 1500bhp, CCGT 1340bhp. The sestos are the least powerful with 1200bhp.

[@audidoo480]

Not sure if there's something specific that I'm not allowing for, but I generally find X class to be more unpredictable than S2. Didn't think about X classing the X5 FE though, it's already a beast in S2. Glad to see you back on our screens though Joe, must have certainly been scary having any sort of vision loss, no matter how temporary. Happy to know that you're on the mend and it's under control. Take it easy mate 👊🏻

[@MisterFribble]

It's crazy unpredictable. In fact, I've come to avoid X class because it's just too fast and too touchy. S2 is plenty crazy for me.

[@thescepter1231]

​@@MisterFribblecouldn't agree more . Modified my jesko to x class , boy , even with such good braking , the car is hard asf to control . You lose control of your actions honestly, s2 accelerates slower than x class and it's easier to brake , with x class , you don't even realise how fast you're going .

@@Spherz X isn't really a class, it's just "too high for s2", if there were more classes from 1000-1099, 1100-1199 etc I imagine the sesto FE would be a bit higher than the others. If they were interested in such a thing perhaps they would also introduce a tire compound with better properties than slicks, and that additional mechanical grip could catch some cars up as well.

[@A_car_guyTM]

Damn, the amount of work put in here is amazing! This video also came out at a perfect time, as sadly my XBOX game pass expires tomorrow :( On the bright side, I can watch your video, download the tunes, and put in a 10 lap Goliath session to mark the end of a Forza era (I've been playing in the Forza franchise for 2 years now, starting with FH4. I had played many racing games before and quickly picked it up, soon bringing in top 100s on pretty much every PR Stunt. It was the same with FH5, but this time I took it more casually, as I had 100% (no joke) completed FH4. The Forza franchise is an awesome game series, and I think people don't appreciate how much work the developers put into making these games. It isn't as simple as writing a couple lines of code to add in some cars -- it takes time, patience, and a lot of skill. I will sincerely miss playing Forza Horizon 4 and 5, but it I will look back on these 2 1/2 years I've been playing Forza as a highlight in my life, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.) thanks for coming to my TED talk xD

Don’s tunes are wicked fast, but I like making my own stuff. Pick whatever floats your boat.

[@STAG162]

I used your tune for the Sesto FE on the Goliath, and I'm pretty impressed even driving on autopilot. My previous best was 10.57 on an AM Vulcan, but even with a big "off" at the tight northeast corner, and quick recovery, I still managed a very decent sub-9.35 time. One thing pisses me off about these tunes though, you can't see how the car was tuned because it's 'locked', and whatever wheels I had on my ride before the new tune are replaced by yours... ok that's two things, but the devs should allow these instead of hiding them behind a code.

They both have the same maxed Power Output but the FE version has Rear Wheel Steering as well. Meaning you can take corners much MUCH faster!!

[@javanm-a1515]

The sesto FE has rear wheel steering allowing it to take corners faster and is also 200lbs lighter than the normal sesto which allows it to take corners even faster and accelerate faster too.

[@simpgaming7203]

just a genuine question brother what is the difference between standard edition and forza edition

[@SL4PSYM4XY]

The CCGT was one of my favorites in FH4, but in FH5 I find it extremely temperamental. The tiniest bit of excess steering input causes it to spin and it’s very erratic under weight transfer. I’ve tried tuning to fix the it, but with no luck. Did you figure out a tune to combat this? Or have you even noticed it?

[@javanm-a1515]

I noticed this too. To combat it, I increased the rear aero. If you have more front aero than the rear, the more likely your car will spin. I tried increasing the front aero and put rear aero to the lowest and the car would literally spin even if I just touch the steering. Long story short, make sure you have enough rear aero. However, i also noticed if you don’t have enough front aero, I noticed the car i will become quite understeery.
