Forza Horizon 4 came out in 2018 and introduced a bunch of cool cars based on 700 real vehicles. The game’s developers worked with 100 manufacturers, including icons of racing like McLaren.
Like Forza Horizon 3, cars can be purchased for in-game credits and sold at auctions.
Cars in Forza Horizon 4 can be expensive — just like their real-life counterparts. Some in-game vehicles are based on extremely rare cars that are worth millions. Let’s look at the top 10 most expensive cars in Forza Horizon 4 based on their real-world value. You might be surprised just how expensive these cars can be!
10. The 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan
Vehicle Engine: 7-Liter V12 with 820 horsepower
Top Speed: 205 mph

First up is the speedy Aston Martin Vulcan. The car came out in 2016 and only 24 were made. As of 2017, just three Vulcans lived in the U.S., and all of them were worth about $2.3 million.
In Forza Horizon 4, Vulcan prices vary depending on the auction — but you can expect to spend quite a few credits on this car.
Despite price differences, the Vulcan is impressive in the real world and the game. The car is powered by a V12 engine that generates 820 horsepower. Drivers can hit 60 mph in about three seconds within the game, and top speeds hover just north of 200 mph.

The sleek design helps the car achieve those speeds, but the powerful engine is the real star.

8. The 1931 Bentley 4-½ Liter Supercharged Roadster
Vehicle Engine: 4.4-Liter Supercharged
Top Speed: 130 mph
Cool Fact: These cars were made to race at Le Mans
photo source: forzahorizon.gamingvehicle.com
In the late 1920s, Bentley started making cars specifically to race at Le Mans (a high-profile racing competition). These designs included the 1931 4-½ Liter Supercharged Roadster, a powerful vehicle that reached 130 mph — impressive in those years.
Before the Supercharged 4-½ Liter, Bentley made a non-supercharged version that won at the 1928 Le Mans. The Supercharged edition wasn’t as successful. The car never won, even though it was specifically made for the race, but it’s still a pretty cool piece of automotive history.
You can race a ‘31 4-½ Liter Supercharged in Forza Horizon 4 after you purchase Bamburgh Castle, or you can buy one IRL for about $4.5 million.

The real-life 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe is a classic race car with a V8. The vehicle might seem slow by today’s standards, but 180 mph was pretty quick in ‘65. The car used that speed during the ‘64 and ‘65 seasons of the World Sportscar Championship, earning it a solid reputation in race car history.
Today, rare examples of the ‘65 Cobra Coupe can sell for more than $7 million. The car joined the Forza Horizon family through the Motorsport Legends Car Pack, which featured 10 cars in total.

The rare ‘68 Stradale is expensive in Forza Horizon 4 and IRL. The digital version goes for 10 million credits while the real one goes for 10 million cash — yeah, it’s a lot. The real car was only built 18 times, and just 10 of those are considered full-fledged official editions. The rest were either prototypes or other non-official versions.
When it comes to power, the Stradale was pretty solid in its day. The car features a V8 engine that pushes it from zero to 60 in less than six seconds before maxing out at 160 mph. Not bad for the ‘60s.

This car was a beast in the ‘30s. With top speeds of about 200 mph, the vehicle was a straight-up speed demon at the Grand Prix. The powerful V12 engine was impressive too, and the car’s 450 horsepower was stunning. As one outlet puts it, “[the] Auto Union model’s specs were largely unparalleled in 1939.”
Today, this rare car is worth about $15 million, making it the fourth-most expensive car in Forza Horizon 4.
