Driving the best Forza Horizon 6 cars for the right race can make a huge difference in how you place, as there's only so much driver skill can carry you. Obviously being a good driver is very important but choosing the cars that shine above the rest for certain race types will give you an edge in Forza Horizon 6. The variety of race types and activities also means it's impossible to find a one-size-fits-all answer for the "best" car, and you need a broad selection in your garage instead. Bearing all that in mind, here are the cars I found to be the best from my time playing Forza Horizon 6, helping me win races and earn three stars in many PR Stunts.
Best Forza Horizon 6 cars
I kept coming back to these 14 cars for all sorts of Horizon Festival activities, from road and dirt races to Speed Traps and Drift Zones:
Car | Class and type | Great for… |
|---|---|---|
Ferrari FXX-K Evo | R-998, Extreme Track Toys | Road races, Street races, Time Attack, Speed Zones, Speed Traps |
Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition | R-998, Extreme Track Toys | Road races, Street races, Speed Zones, Danger Signs |
Mazda #55 Mazda 787B | R-988, Retro Racers | Road races, Street races, Time Attack, Speed Zones, Speed Traps - it's also free because it's one of the Forza Hoirzon 6 Barn Finds |
Mercedes-AMG One | S2-900, Hypercars | Road races, Time Attack, Speed Traps, Speed Zones |
Lotus Evija Forza Edition | S2-900, Drift Cars | Drift Zones - this car is almost impossible to drive in a straight line and is easily one of the best drift cars in Forza Horizon 6 as a result. |
Lamborghini Revuleto | S2-898, Hypercars | Road races, Time Attack, Speed Traps, Speed Zones |
Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition | S2-850, Retro Sports Cars | Drag races - it's arguably the best Forza Horizon 6 drag car! |
Ford #14 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Fiesta | S1-772, Rally Monsters | Dirt races, dirt-based Speed Zones |
Subaru BRZ Forza Edition | A-700, Unlimited Offroad | Dirt races, Cross-Country races, Trailblazers |
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR | A-694, Modern Rally | Dirt races, Street races, Touge races, Speed Zones |
BMW X6 M Competition | A-672, Sports Utility Heroes | Cross-Country races |
Subaru Impreza 22B-STI Version | B-600, Retro Rally | Dirt races, Touge races, Street races, |
Mazda MX-6 Miata | B-600, Retro Sports Cars | Almost anything with the right tuning setup |
Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX Forza Edition | B-599, Track Toys | Street races, Touge races, Drift Zones |
Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list and there are plenty of other cars on the Forza Horizon 6 car list that would fit on here based on your personal preferences – although if you’re just interested in pure speed, take a look at this list of the fastest Forza Horizon 6 cars instead.
When you consider tuning and upgrades too, and how they can radically alter a car's performance, you can make almost any car great in some way. But the cars above are the ones that should see you through almost all of what Forza Horizon 6 has to offer.
