Super Hot Hatch is one of the most popular car categories in FH5. These five post the highest Acceleration ratings in the category.
A800 
The undisputed Acceleration champion in this group. A natural advantage that's hard to overcome, even with a perfect tune on a weaker platform.
A707 
A strong Acceleration contender that's remarkably close to the top. Balanced and versatile across multiple track types.
A702 
Pairs high Acceleration with competitive all-around performance — a rare combination. An excellent all-rounder that doesn't force trade-offs.
B663 
A great mid-price option with Acceleration that punches above its weight. Lower PI leaves significant tuning headroom.
B668 
The most accessible car on this list with Acceleration that holds its own against pricier competition. Ideal for budget builds.
The rankings above are based on stock performance data — every car shown is completely untuned, straight from the Autoshow. If a car ranks #1 for Acceleration in stock form, it has a natural advantage that's hard to overcome.
At ForzaLabs, we built an automated system that collects every upgrade and tuning option for every car in Forza Horizon 5 — thousands of parts across hundreds of vehicles.
In competitive online racing, nobody runs stock. The right combination of upgrades can transform a mid-tier car into a class leader. The question isn't "which car is best stock" — it's "which car is best after the optimal tune for my race?"
That's exactly what our full database answers. Enter your race restrictions — class limit, drivetrain rules, weather conditions — and we'll show you the optimal car and build.
Stop guessing which car to bring. Search our complete upgrade database to find the highest-performing build for any class, any restriction, any event.
