Forza Horizon 6 Best Cars Ranked by Class — Top Pick for Every Tier (D to R)

Forza Horizon 6 launched today with 550+ cars across 7 classes — D, C, B, A, S1, S2, and the new R Class (track-focused, sits between S2 and X). Here's the top pick for every tier. Day-one observation — not settled meta. Refresh coming June 15.

D Class — 1992 Honda Beat

Naturally-aspirated mid-engined kei roadster. Revs to 8,100 RPM. Tiny, weird, lightweight — exactly what the Japan setting was made for.

Won't beat tuned D-class outliers, but the experience is unmatched. If you only own one D-class car, make it this.

C Class — 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale

Lightweight 1960s Italian classic. Rear-wheel drive, screaming twin-cam, period-correct lines. Vintage Italians thrive in C class because PI rewards their lightness.

Alternate: Volkswagen Golf GTI if you want modern FWD instead. Both are valid C-class day-one picks.

B Class — 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type-A

FD3S RX-7's twin-turbo 13B rotary, 50/50 weight, grip-focused chassis. Touge Battles are the natural habitat. Spirit R Type-A is the last and lightest production RX-7.

If you only buy ONE car for the new Touge Battle mode, this is it.

A Class — 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34)

JDM crown jewel. RB26DETT twin-turbo straight-six, ATTESA AWD, Bayside Blue paint. The A-class pick that just feels right in Japan.

Alternates: Acura NSX Type-S or BMW M4 Competition if you want non-JDM. But Japan + R34 is the move.

S1 Class — 2020 Lamborghini Huracán STO

Mid-engined V10, sharper aero than Performante, AWD-swap viable. Stays competitive across road racing, Touge, and Time Attack.

Alternate: 2024 BMW M4 CSL if you prefer front-engine GT cars over mid-engine supercars.

S2 Class — 2018 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

Natural AWD, naturally-aspirated V12, Nürburgring-record pedigree. The safe S2 pick that's easy to tune competitively without exotic build knowledge.

Alternates: 2024 Revuelto (hybrid V12 flagship) or 2020 Sian Roadster. All three Lambos sit comfortably in the S2 top tier.

R Class — 2020 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12

830 horsepower naturally-aspirated V12. Only 40 ever made. Track-only in real life — perfect for FH6's Time Attack zones and Norikura Skyline's high-speed sweepers.

Alternates: Ferrari FXX-K Evo, Mazda Furai, or Mazda 787B (the only Japanese Le Mans 24h winner) for an authentic Japan-setting motorsport pick.
