Forza Horizon 5 Best Drag Cars: Koenigsegg Jesko 2020 

Making it into the fastest cars in the game, the Koenigsegg Jesko 2020 also makes its way into the Forza Horizon 5 best drag cars list.

As such, we'd recommend leaving this one for those longer drag races, unless you managed to upgrade the acceleration or launch. It also might take you a while to accumulate the funds for this one, as it sits at an eye-watering 2,800,000 CR.
