FH6 Car Pass — Series 2 Wave LIVE · Audi R8 V10 GT RWD Dropped Today (Full 8-Car Schedule Verified)

Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass Week 5 dropped this morning. The 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD is now in Car Pass owners' garages alongside the Series 2 Horizon Decades launch. The full 8-car Car Pass schedule is now verified through July 9 — covering the entire Series 2 four-week window. Corrected ordering note: our previous refresh had the order pulled from pre-launch sources that turned out to be slightly off — post-launch coverage from techtimes, Forza Wiki, and gamermatters today confirm the actual sequence is Audi R8 first (today), then FURSTY June 25, Skyline 40th Anniversary July 2, and GR Corolla July 9. Here's the verified schedule plus what each car brings.

The Full Verified Schedule (May 19 — July 9)

Playground releases one new Car Pass car per week starting May 19. Distribution is automatic — every Thursday morning, Car Pass owners get a notification that a new vehicle has been added to their garage with zero credits required. All 8 confirmed Car Pass cars now have locked release dates through July 9, covering the full Series 1 + Series 2 window.

Verified Car Pass release calendar (post-launch confirmation):

• May 19 — 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC — LIVE since launch (CALSONIC livery)
• May 28 — 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera — dropped Week 2
• June 4 — 1972 Datsun #269 Attacking the Clock Racing 240Z "All Carbon Hill Climb Beast"
• June 11 — 2008 Honda Civic Type R (FD2)
• June 18 — 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD — LIVE TODAY (Series 2 Week 1 Summer drop)
• June 25 — 1974 Mazda #123 Mad Mike 808 Wagon "FURSTY" (Series 2 Week 2 Autumn)
• July 2 — 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary (Series 2 Week 3 Winter)
• July 9 — 2023 Toyota GR Corolla (Series 2 Week 4 Spring)

The remaining 22 cars (of the 30-car Pass) haven't been announced yet. Playground is deliberately drip-feeding the lineup to maintain weekly anticipation. Based on the May 19 weekly cadence and 30-car total, the final Car Pass car arrives December 8, 2026. Once purchased, any already-released cars are immediately added to your garage — so late buyers don't miss out, they just get a backlog drop.

Looking ahead — Series 3 hint from forza.net: Per gamermatters coverage published yesterday, Playground's Series 3 preview teases an Italian Exotics theme, with the Italian Passion Car Pack DLC (including the Ferrari F80) releasing next month alongside Series 3 on July 16. Expect cars 9-12 of the Car Pass to follow the same weekly Thursday cadence through the Series 3 window.

2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD — LIVE TODAY (Series 2 Week 5 Drop)

The send-off for Audi's V10 era. 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 producing 612 horsepower in a rear-wheel-drive chassis — one of the last NA V10 supercars ever produced. The R8 V10 GT RWD is the final, sharpest, rear-wheel-drive-only version of the second-gen R8 platform — limited production, lighter than the Quattro variant, more focused on driver engagement over outright pace.

With Audi's V10 platform retiring across the entire Audi/Lamborghini Group lineup, this is the last hurrah for one of the most beloved supercar engines of the past 20 years. Car Pass owners get it free in the garage at login today. Pairs perfectly with Series 2's Horizon Decades theme — a car celebrating an automotive era that's now closing.

1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC — Live Since Launch

The legendary CALSONIC Skyline that defined an era of Japanese touring car racing — and Car Pass Week 1's drop. The real-world #12 GT-R earned an astonishing 29 winning rounds across four years of the Japan Touring Car Championship. The in-game version brings the inline 6-cylinder 2.5-liter engine, Super HICAS four-wheel steering, and ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive that defined the BNR32 platform.

Note — the in-game car shows some removed branding on the livery, likely a licensing-related change from the real-world JTC original. Still unmistakably the #12 Skyline. If you have the Car Pass and haven't loaded FH6 since launch, fire it up — you already own this car.

2024 Koenigsegg Gemera — Live Since May 28

The hyper-GT headliner — and arguably the most coveted modern car on the entire Car Pass list. A 4-seat Koenigsegg with three electric motors plus the in-house "Tiny Friendly Giant" 2.0L twin-turbo gas engine producing roughly 1,700 hp combined. This is also the first time Koenigsegg has put an all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering system on a car.

For Car Pass owners chasing top-speed leaderboard slots, this has been one of the most-built cars in the game since its May 28 drop.

1972 Datsun "Attacking the Clock Racing" 240Z — Live Since June 4

A real-world all-carbon hillclimb 240Z that competes with the #269 livery. Forza's official designation is "Attacking the Clock Racing" 240Z, named after the team rather than the driver (Sean Bassett pilots the real-world car). Per Forza.net — "Almost entirely made out of carbon fiber, fitted with a front splitter, a rear wing, a body, and an almost endless list of parts." Period-correct in shape, completely modern in execution.

2008 Honda Civic Type R (FD2) — Live Since June 11

The JDM purist's pick. The FD2 Civic Type R — the last Type R to use Honda's K20A naturally-aspirated 2.0L screaming to 8,000 RPM. Front-wheel-drive sedan body, manual gearbox only, JDM-market only. This isn't the modern FL5 — it's the era-defining JDM-only generation that fans have been begging Honda to revive ever since.

For touge runs on Hakone and Mount Haruna, the FD2 has emerged as a community favorite. Lightweight, precise, predictable — perfect for downhill 1v1 duels.

1974 Mazda Mad Mike 808 Wagon "FURSTY" — June 25 (Series 2 Week 2 Autumn)

Mad Mike Whiddett's wagon — vintage Japanese estate body, the #123 livery, Mad Mike's signature rotary-powered drift build. Note the spelling — FURSTY (not "Firsty"), per Forza Wiki and Forza.net official documentation. Mad Mike is one of the most well-known JDM drift personalities in the world, and FURSTY has been a centerpiece of his fleet for years.

This is the wildcard car you didn't know you wanted. Drops Thursday June 25 alongside Series 2 Week 2 Autumn — perfect timing with the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (Series 2 Festival Playlist) and Schuppan 962CR rewards. Drift fans get FURSTY at exactly the right moment.

1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary — July 2 (Series 2 Week 3 Winter)

One of the most sought-after special editions in the entire R34 lineup. The 40th Anniversary V-Spec celebrates Nissan's Skyline GT-R heritage with the twin-turbo 2.6-liter RB26DETT engine that defined the platform. Per Forza.net's Series 2 coverage — "a symbol of Japanese engineering excellence."

The AWD system pairs perfectly with the Japan map's mountain passes and touge corners. Drops Thursday July 2 alongside Series 2 Week 3 Winter (Dodge Ram SRT-10 + Ford F-150 SVT Lightning American Truck Week).

2023 Toyota GR Corolla — July 9 (Series 2 Week 4 Spring)

Toyota's modern hot-hatch reboot — turbocharged 3-cylinder, AWD GR-FOUR system, 300 hp out of three pots, and the kind of homologation-driven enthusiast credentials that put Toyota back on the JDM enthusiast map. Sister car to the GR Yaris but built for the US/EU markets that didn't get the Yaris.

For Car Pass owners who want a modern AWD hot hatch alongside the FD2 Civic Type R's NA FWD purity, this is the modern counterpoint. Drops Thursday July 9 alongside Series 2 Week 4 Spring (Mercedes-AMG GT R + Saleen S7 LM Series 2 finale).

Cross-Reference With Series 2 Festival Playlist

Car Pass cars and Festival Playlist rewards align cleanly throughout Series 2. Owning the Car Pass means every Thursday you get TWO new cars — one from Car Pass automatic delivery, one from completing the week's Festival Playlist. The full Series 2 four-week alignment:

Week 1 Summer (June 18 - 25, LIVE NOW) — Car Pass = Audi R8 V10 GT RWD, Festival Playlist = VW Rallye Golf (20 PTS) + Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV (40 PTS). Week 2 Autumn (June 25 - July 2) — Car Pass = FURSTY 808 Wagon, Festival Playlist = TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (20 PTS) + Schuppan 962CR (40 PTS). Week 3 Winter (July 2 - July 9) — Car Pass = Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary, Festival Playlist = Dodge Ram SRT-10 (20 PTS) + Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (40 PTS). Week 4 Spring (July 9 - July 16) — Car Pass = GR Corolla, Festival Playlist = Mercedes-AMG GT R (20 PTS) + Saleen S7 LM (40 PTS).

For full Series 2 Festival Playlist coverage including the series-wide grand prizes (Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau 80 PTS + Lotus Exige Cup 430 160 PTS), see our FH6 Festival Playlist Weekly Tracker.

The Pricing Math — Is the Car Pass Worth It?

The Car Pass costs $29.99 / £29.99 standalone. It's included free with Deluxe Edition (around $99.99), Premium Edition (around $119.99), and the Premium Upgrade Bundle ($59.99 on top of Game Pass).

The honest math — 30 cars for $29.99 = $1.00 per car. Most individual Forza car packs price out at $3-5 per car. So as raw value, the Car Pass beats individual purchases on a per-car basis. But — FH6 has 550+ cars in the base game already, plus Festival Playlist rewards, Aftermarket Cars spawning in the open world, and Wheelspin drops. You won't run out of cars without the Car Pass.

For the full buyer decision tree (when to get it, when to skip it, how the Game Pass + Car Pass standalone combo works), see our FH6 Car Pass — Is It Worth $30? complete guide.

Where to Buy Car Pass Below MSRP

The Xbox Store charges full $29.99 standalone, and the Deluxe + Premium Editions that include Car Pass land at $99.99 and $119.99 respectively. We sell FH6 keys including Deluxe + Premium editions at ghostkeys.shop below Xbox Store / Steam / PS Store MSRP — same team that publishes this content, instant key delivery for Xbox Series X|S and PC, Car Pass codes also stocked. Xbox Play Anywhere means one key gives you Xbox + PC with shared progression.

The Bottom Line — 8 Confirmed With Verified Order, 22 to Go

One month into FH6's Car Pass rollout and the first 8 cars are now locked with verified dates. The Series 2 wave (Audi R8 today, FURSTY June 25, Skyline 40th July 2, GR Corolla July 9) covers the full four-week Series 2 window cleanly. Series 3 starts July 16 with an Italian Exotics theme per forza.net teasing — expect cars 9-12 to drop on the same weekly Thursday cadence through Series 3.

The remaining 22 cars stay under wraps. Playground is drip-feeding the lineup to maintain weekly news beats. We'll refresh this blog with the next batch of date confirmations when Series 3 launches.
