Fastest Cars in Forza Horizon 6

Speed is the first thing most players chase in Forza Horizon 6, and with over 600 cars spread across Japan’s highways and mountain passes, knowing which ones actually go fast saves you a lot of wasted Credits. The answer might surprise you, because the top of the FH6 speed list looks nothing like previous Forza games.

Bugatti is completely absent from the launch roster, so the usual suspects are gone. What took over instead are Forza Edition cars, modified reward-only variants that hit insane speeds through tuning. The fastest car in the game right now isn’t a Koenigsegg or a Hennessey. It’s a 1985 Toyota that originally shipped with less than 100 horsepower.

This list ranks cars by verified maximum tuned top speed. Stock figures are included for context, but tuned speed is what matters on the highway, and the gap between the two can be enormous. Some cars on this list gain over 100 mph from a proper tune. That’s the single biggest thing to understand about speed in FH6: tuning isn’t optional. Gearing, drag reduction, and drivetrain swaps decide your ceiling far more than the badge on the hood.

Top 10 Fastest Cars in Forza Horizon 6

Quick overview before the details:

One thing to note: anything above 280 mph requires a dedicated top-speed tune, not just auto-upgrades. The Forza Edition cars also can’t be bought from the Autoshow at all, which changes how you should plan your garage.

1. Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~140 mph / ~225 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 324 mph / ~521 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 10, Handling 6.5, Acceleration 8.2, Launch 7.8, Braking 6.0, Offroad 3.5

How to Get: Discover Japan Collection Journal, Master Explorer Tier 5

This is the one that broke the community when FH6 launched. A 1985 AE86, the tofu delivery car itself, is the fastest vehicle in the game at 324 mph, beating every hypercar by nearly 18 mph.

The reason is physics. The AE86 FE starts as a B-class car with almost no weight or drag. Add a 2JZ engine swap, AWD conversion, race turbo with anti-lag, and slick tires with zero aero, and you get a power-to-weight ratio no hypercar can touch. Most players use the community Travis tune (share code 125 771 360) to hit the record. Stock, this car is useless for speed, so tuning is the whole point here. Expect 8 to 12 hours of Discover Japan grinding to unlock it.

2. Nissan GT-R Black Edition R35 Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~200 mph / ~322 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 307 mph / ~494 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 10, Handling 7.0, Acceleration 9.5, Launch 10, Braking 7.5, Offroad 3.0

How to Get: Wheelspins only

The GT-R FE is the drag strip king. It comes pre-tuned to S2 850 with a drag chute, drag tires, and roughly 3,000 horsepower through AWD, which is why it launches without losing traction and holds the records on every drag strip in the game.

The hard part is getting one. It’s Wheelspin-only, and auction listings get sniped almost instantly. Grinding Car Mastery spins on cheaper cars is your best route to more Wheelspin pulls. And fair warning: outside of drag strips and straight highways, it’s nearly undrivable. Don’t take it anywhere with a corner.

3. Hennessey Venom F5

Top Speed (Stock): 304 mph / 489 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): ~315 mph / ~507 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 10, Handling 6.2, Acceleration 9.3, Launch 8.0, Braking 6.5, Offroad 2.0

How to Get: Autoshow (2,050,000 CR)

The Venom F5 is the fastest car you can simply buy. At 304 mph stock, it’s the only non-FE vehicle that cracks 300 without any work, and it’s oddly the cheapest of the three Speed-10 hypercars at just over 2 million Credits.

Community builds have pushed it past 315 mph on open highway. Tuning helps its acceleration most, nearly doubling the improvement you’d see on the stock version. The handling and braking are genuinely poor though, so keep it on the long expressways where it belongs. If you want a 300 mph car today without grinding, this is the pick.

4. Koenigsegg Jesko

Top Speed (Stock): 284 mph / 457 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 295 mph / ~475 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 10, Handling 9.1, Acceleration 9.0, Launch 8.5, Braking 8.9, Offroad 2.5

How to Get: Autoshow (3,500,000 CR)

The Jesko has been the poster car for Forza top speed for years, and it’s still one of the best all-around hypercars in FH6. The key difference from the Venom F5 is that 9.1 handling rating. The Venom scares you on every corner. The Jesko is actually manageable.

The catch is the 3.5 million Credit price, plus a launch and oversteer tendency that takes time to learn. But for players who want a Speed-10 car that can compete in real races, not just speed traps, the Jesko makes more sense than the Venom. Careful gearing tunes add a noticeable 11 mph to its top end.

5. Koenigsegg Agera RS

Top Speed (Stock): 275 mph / 443 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 282 mph / ~454 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 10, Handling 8.6, Acceleration 8.8, Launch 8.2, Braking 9.2, Offroad 2.0

How to Get: Autoshow (2,900,000 CR)

With Bugatti gone, Koenigsegg is now the fastest brand in FH6, and the Agera RS is its second-best entry. It cracks 275 mph stock and brakes better than the Jesko, with a 9.2 braking stat that makes it the most forgiving Speed-10 option.

The honest trade-off is ceiling. Tuning only adds about 7 mph here, so it won’t challenge the top three in a straight line. But it’s composed, easy to drive at speed, and a solid pick if you’re not ready for the Jesko’s handling demands yet.

6. Porsche #3 917 LH Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~240 mph / ~386 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 294 mph / ~473 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 9.8, Handling 8.2, Acceleration 8.5, Launch 8.0, Braking 8.4, Offroad 2.0

How to Get: Wheelspins

This is a real 1970 Le Mans long-tail, and that body shape matters in the game. The 917 LH FE has one of the best drag coefficients in FH6, which is why it carries speed so well in the upper gears and edges past the Jesko at 294 mph once tuned.

It needs a properly long straight to get there, and unlocking it is pure Wheelspin luck. But if you pull one, you’re holding a top-5 speed car that handles far better than the GT-R FE.

7. Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~200 mph / ~322 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): ~296 mph / ~476 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 9.5, Handling 9.3, Acceleration 9.7, Launch 9.2, Braking 8.8, Offroad 3.5

How to Get: Aftermarket spawn near the Horizon Festival Drag Strip

The MX-5 FE looks tiny and unserious, then it runs 296 mph and holds drag records alongside the GT-R FE and AE86 FE. Its handling numbers are the best on this list, making it the most usable fast car in everyday play.

Its weakness is the initial pull, since the gearbox favors drag-style acceleration over top-end stretch. The big advantage is access: it spawns regularly as an Aftermarket Vehicle near the Drag Strip starting line, so you can grab it without Wheelspin luck or auction prices.

8. Ultima Evolution Coupe 1020

Top Speed (Stock): ~250 mph / ~402 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 300+ mph / ~483 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 9.6, Handling 8.0, Acceleration 9.8, Launch 10, Braking 8.2, Offroad 2.5

How to Get: Autoshow (150,000 CR)

The budget monster nobody talks about enough. The Ultima costs 150,000 Credits, crosses 300 mph with the right tune, and hits 60 mph in roughly one second, which is the best acceleration in the game at launch.

Lightweight construction plus monster launch stats explain it. Fair warning: it gets twitchy near its limit, and plenty of testers have crashed before validating its peak. But if you’re early in the game, this is the cheapest path to 300 mph by a mile.

9. Lotus Evija Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~230 mph / ~370 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): 294 mph / ~473 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 9.7, Handling 9.5, Acceleration 9.8, Launch 9.4, Braking 9.0, Offroad 3.0

How to Get: VIP Membership DLC (or free with Premium Edition)

The Evija FE ties the Porsche 917 at 294 mph, but it gets there differently. Its AWD electric torque plants instantly and holds a cleaner line at very high speed, where the Porsche needs a long run-up.

On paper this is a drift car, with drift suspension and a Drift Skills Boost pre-installed, which is why most players overlook it for speed. The thing is, nearly 2,000 electric horsepower doesn’t care what suspension it sits on. Retune it for speed and it doubles as both your drift car and your highway weapon, which is good value if you already own VIP.

10. Wuling Sunshine S Forza Edition

Top Speed (Stock): ~190 mph / ~306 km/h

Top Speed (Tuned): ~290 mph / ~467 km/h

In-game ratings: Speed 9.3, Handling 7.5, Acceleration 9.4, Launch 9.0, Braking 7.2, Offroad 4.5

How to Get: Wheelspins

Yes, this is a van. A Chinese microvan that seats six in real life and somehow runs close to 290 mph in FH6 with a maxed engine swap. The same low-drag, low-weight logic that crowned the AE86 works here too.

It also comes with a Credits Boost perk, making it one of the best farming cars in the game. So even if you never chase its top speed, it earns its garage slot. Watching it blow past Lamborghinis on the expressway is one of the funniest things FH6 has to offer.

How to Get Fast Cars in FH6?

There are a few realistic paths to building a fast garage:

Buy from the Autoshow. The Venom F5 (2,050,000 CR), Jesko (3,500,000 CR), and Ultima Evolution (150,000 CR) are direct purchases. Start with the Ultima if your Credit balance is thin.

Earn Wheelspins. The GT-R FE, Porsche 917 LH FE, and Wuling FE are Wheelspin-only. Stack spins through Car Mastery trees and profile levels, but don’t bank on pulling a specific car.

Complete Collection Journals. The AE86 FE requires Master Explorer Tier 5 in Discover Japan, which means 5,000 journal points and around 8 to 12 hours of focused play.

Check the Aftermarket. The MX-5 FE spawns near the Drag Strip regularly. Spawns rotate, so check back if you miss it.

Use the Auction House. Reward cars get listed when other players offload duplicates. Prices run high and listings disappear fast, so set a budget and act quickly.

Start with a pre-built account. If you’d rather skip the grind entirely, some players pick up Forza Horizon 6 accounts for sale that already include rare cars and Credits, which gets you into top-tier racing from day one.
