In a game home to a lot of fast cars, the Koenigsegg Jesko is a legendary vehicle that truly leaves all in the dust in Forza Horizon 5. It is one of the fastest cars in the game.

But if you’re willing to put in a little work, you can actually get a free Koenigsegg Jesko early on in the game. On this guide, we’ll teach you how to get a Legendary Koenigsegg Jesko for free.

This Baja Story Mission has you pretending to be an actor. But getting big in Hollywood isn’t our goal. Our prize is the Koenigsegg Jesko we get at the end of this 12-part Story mission. But in order to do so, we need 3-star ratings for all of V10’s missions.
Here are all the missions and their requirements for a three star rating. Plenty of them have to do with reaching the finish line under a specific timeframe. You can filter the story missions on your map to be able to find them easier. You can finish these missions in less than an hour.
1. Driving Frankie Beaumont
To complete the Driving Frankie Beaumont mission with a 3-star rating, just cut through the desert as a shortcut. Watch out for rock formations that you can crash into. You have to finish the race below 1 minutes and 40 seconds.
- Requirement – reach the finish line below 1 minute and 40 seconds
- Tip – cut through the desert as a shortcut
2. Scene 15
In order to get 3-stars for this Scene 15 mission, you need to reach the finish line in under 3 minutes. You can take advantage by going downwards off road to save some time. Be careful though as there is a 60 countdown timer every time you’re off road.

In order to get the requirements for 3-star rating in the Scene 23 mission, you need to reach the finish line in under 1 minute and 50 seconds.

4. Scene 35A & Scene 35B
To get a 3-star rating for both 35A & 35B you need to get 100,000 drift points on each scene’s respective location.

The 3-star rating requirement for the Scene 43 mission is to get a jump distance of 366 meters. When you approach the ramp, make sure to drive a straight line to maximize speed.
6. Scene 73
To get a 3-star rating for Scene 73, you need to reach the finish line in under 2 minutes and 45 seconds. This particular scene has no roads for you to follow so you can feel free to make your own path and choose the route quickest to your destination.
7. Scene 95
The Scene 95 mission is a simple race but you need to be careful of the sharp turns in this track. To get the 3-star rating, you have to finish it in under 1 minute and 45 seconds.
8. Scene 107
To get a 3-star rating for the Scene 107 mission, you need to reach the finish line in under 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Mind the few shortcuts on the track to make it easier.
9. Scene 103
On Scene 103, you’re driving the Koenigsegg Jesko so it shouldn’t be hard to hit the speed brake at 386 KPH. Just back up until you have enough room to hit the speed brake at those speeds.
10. Scene 117
To get a 3-star rating for Scene 117, you need get a jump distance of 778 meters on the Jesko. You’re using a pretty powerful car so hitting that mark is practically a guarantee.
