What cars can you get for free with car mastery perks?
In Forza Horizon 4 you can earn skill points, which you can spend later to unlock car mastery perks and get some bonuses. Each car model has its own unique perk progression tree.
The rarest bonus you can unlock is getting a brand new car. So far, I have found 6 models with this perk:
| Car with the mastery perk | Skill points cost | Car that you get for free |
|---|---|---|
| 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL coupé | 20 | 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG black series Forza edition |
| 1957 Maserati 300 S | 15 | 2004 Maserati MC12 Forza edition |
| 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 | 30 | 2008 Lamborghini Reventón Forza edition |
| 1998 Nissan R390 | 25 | 1995 Nissan NISMO GT-R LM Forza edition |
| 2005 TVR Sagaris | 99 | 2005 TVR Sagaris Forza edition |
| Quartz Regalia | 99 | Quartz Regalia Type-D |
Are there any more?
I've tried googling it, but the only links I've found (1, 2, 3) are from 3 years ago, and the game has kept evolving since then. For example none of these links include the Quartz Regalia (yes, the car from Final Fantasy) because it was added later to the game.
I could try checking the cars myself, but there are 752 different models, and it takes at least a minute to check each one. Plus you can only check a car if you own it.
I've checked the perks progression tree for almost every car in the game and haven't found any more with the "free car" perk. So, the complete list is as follows:
| Car | Autoshow price | Points | Car that you get for free |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 | 1.000.000 CR | 30 | 2008 Lamborghini Reventón Forza edition |
| 1957 Maserati 300 S | 6.000.000 CR | 15 | 2004 Maserati MC12 Forza edition |
| 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL coupé | 1.200.000 CR | 20 | 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG black series Forza edition |
| 1998 Nissan R390 | 730.000 CR | 25 | 1995 Nissan NISMO GT-R LM Forza edition |
| Quartz Regalia | Not sold | 99 | Quartz Regalia Type-D |
| 2005 TVR Sagaris | 86.000 CR | 99 | 2005 TVR Sagaris Forza edition |
I've been unable to check out 9 of the 752 available cars:
- 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 preorder car
- 2017 Ford Focus RS preorder car
- 1957 Hot Wheels Studebaker Golden Hawk 'dream roadster' (DLC)
- 1969 Hot Wheels International-Harvester Loadstar CO-1600 (DLC)
- 1949 Hot Wheels Ford F-5 dually custom hot rod (DLC)
- 1957 Hot Wheels Nash metropolitan custom (DLC)
- 2018 Hot Wheels 2jetz (DLC)
- 1972 Hot Wheels Chevrolet Luv (DLC)
- 2018 McLaren 720S coupé preorder car
The "preorder" cars are no longer obtainable, unless you get extremely lucky in a wheelspin. The DLC cars are part of the Hot Wheels car pack, which isn't included in the base game, the expansions or the car pass, it must be purchased separatedly.
I have also compiled a list of other cars with the most rare and profitable perk bonuses:

The "6 wheelspins" perk in the Mercedes-Benz G 63 has exactly the same icon than the regular wheelspin perk, I almost didn't notice it. There could be other cars that I've missed with that perk, however it's unlikely, considering it seems to be a joke on the fact that the car has 6 wheels. I've checked the Hennessey Velociraptor 6x6, which is the only other 6-wheeled car, but it doesn't have it.
