Ultimate Hyper Cars, Off-Road Legends, and Kei Car Chaos
One of the coolest parts of Forza is building your dream garage. The newest game in the series, Forza Horizon 6, features hundreds of track legends, off-road behemoths, and epic rally cars.
We looked through a few of our favorite entries in this new game and found the stories behind some of the most popular cars in Forza Horizon 6.
GMC Jimmy
Upon loading into Horizon 6 for the first time, players can choose one of three starter cars, including a 1970 GMC Jimmy. While it’s not the best option for urban driving, it’s great for exploring the Japanese countryside.
The GMC Jimmy helped kickstart America’s love affair with off-roaders. Introduced in 1970, it took a body-on-frame pickup truck platform and turned it into a rugged, go-anywhere SUV. With available V8 power, 4WD capability, and a removable top, the Jimmy is fun and functional.
Toyota AE86
The Toyota AE86 is a drifting legend thanks to its perfect balance, rear-wheel-drive layout, and iconic role in the Initial D anime.
Powered by a rev-happy 1.6L engine, the AE86 isn’t about straight-line speed. Its RWD powertrain is optimized for handling and drifting.
Even though the Toyota AE86 was discontinued in 1987 and only available in Japan, the car has found its place in multiple fandoms around the world.
Hennessey Venom F5
At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Hennessey Venom F5, a Texas-built hypercar that pushes performance to absurd levels. The Venom F5 packs a twin-turbo 6.6L V8 producing an incredible 1,817 horsepower.
With a targeted top speed over 300 mph, the Venom F5 isn’t just fast; it’s one of the fastest production hypercars. As powerful as it is rare, production of the Hennessey Venom F5 was limited to just 99 cars.
Ford F-150 XLT Lariat
Not every great Forza car is an ultra-rare exotic speedster. This one might be in your garage right now.
The Ford F-150 proves you can have fun and function in one package. The XLT trim hits the sweet spot for value and features, while the Lariat steps things up with leather, tech upgrades, and premium comfort.
Under the hood, you’ll find everything from EcoBoost V6 engines to hybrid powertrains, delivering serious towing capability — up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Honda Beat
Forget big horsepower — the Honda Beat proves that sometimes the most fun comes in the smallest packages. This tiny kei car roadster packs a 656cc engine making about 63 horsepower, but revs past 8,000 rpm.
It might be built for Japan’s compact city streets, but it’s a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive masterpiece. In-game, the Honda Beat is a fun, if not meta-breaking, build when paired with a more powerful engine.
Nissan GT-R NISMO
The Nissan GT-R has always punched above its weight, but the 2024 Nissan GT-R NISMO takes a great formula and makes it even better. The NISMO variant of the GT-R adds a twin-turbo 3.8L V6, carbon-fiber hood, bumpers, and fenders, and track-gripping AWD.
In-game, the GT-R NISMO isn’t the fastest car available, but it handles well, accelerates quickly, and looks great.
Ferrari 488 Pista
The Ferrari 488 Pista is a bridge between street legal and track ready. Its name even means “track” in Italian.
The 488 Pista combines lightweight construction, aggressive aerodynamics, and razor-sharp handling with a twin-turbo V8 that launches from 0–60 mph in about 2.7 seconds.
Porsche 911 GT3
Want a car that’s as close to being a race car as you can get while still being street legal? That’s the Porsche 911 GT3. Its naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six pumps out about 503 horsepower and revs to the stratosphere.
With a 0–60 time around 3.3–3.4 seconds and world-class handling, it’s equally at home on a track day or a back road.
Final Lap
From retro SUVs to drift legends, hypercars, and kei-class sleepers, Forza isn’t just fantasy. It’s a gateway to real-world car culture, and one of the only places I can drive legendary cars without a six-figure price tag.
