In Forza Horizon 5, rare cars are legendary vehicles that are hidden in barns throughout the game map. After you find and restore all 14 cars, you will get the achievement "In perfect condition"which is worth 20 points.
How to open rare cars in Forza Horizon 5?
Rare cars are collected rewards that cannot be obtained immediately by simply driving around all the points on the map. First you need complete tasks, then get a rumor on the radio (often they are given by Alex or Alejandra), and only after that go in search.
The buildings themselves, where such machines are located, look like an ordinary barn located in an inconspicuous place. After receiving the rumor, a large purple area with the corresponding rarity icon will be marked on the map, where you will need to go. After arriving at the circle, the car is still to be searched further, studying the area far and wide.
There are also exceptions when a rarity can be found without rumors. One such example is the purchase of real estate in La Cabaña, after which the player will immediately receive information about a new rarity.

How to restore and get rarities in Forza Horizon 5?
After the short cutscene ends, the location of the rarity changes to a gift-sending location, where you can send or receive gifts in the form of cars.
The car itself, which at the time of receipt does not look the best and is covered with rust, is sent for restoration. Then there are two options:
- Wait for a moment until you receive a notification that the car is ready and you can pick it up.
- Pay to speed up the process.
If you have enough patience, then after the notification that appears both in the text field below and in the menu, you need to go to the tab "Garage", from there select the option "Rarities", next to which the number of finished cars should be written. On the car that has already been restored there is a mark "Ready to Receive": just select it and press "Enter" or "A", after which you will receive a notification about the delivery of the rarity to the garage and the opportunity to examine the car in detail. The same section also shows the legendary cars already in the collection.
Even after the car is found, sent for restoration and restored, the barn will still contain information about the car that was in it. Having received the car at your disposal, you can do everything with it as with other cars: change appearance, replace parts, travel around the world and participate in races.
In the second option, when you no longer have the strength to wait, but you want to get a car, you can pay with loans. You should select a car with a timer icon in the lower right corner, then press "Enter" or "A" and pay for the repair. The method is extremely fast, but extremely expensive.
How to speed up the search for rarities?
It was previously said that the search required to travel the entire area, but this is not the only possible way. If you don’t really want to spend time exploring the forest, then you can use the quadrocopter (drone) function. Flying around the neighborhood, you can notice this same barn. If it enters the field of view, the area will disappear and a specific point on the map will appear, and then the car can be easily picked up.
In addition, there is another way: buy the official treasure map, which is sold for 149 rubles on Steam and for $2,99 in the Microsoft Store.
