No.10 Subaru BRZ (2022) Forza Edition
Subaru BRZ (2022) Forza Edition excels off-road, on dirt, and in rally stages. With all-wheel drive (AWD), it delivers outstanding all-terrain performance. In A-class events, it is an absolute meta car.
As a Forza Edition vehicle, it comes with exclusive perk bonuses that grant you extra Skill Points and Influence while racing – something ordinary Forza Horizon 6 cars cannot match.
Simply complete the game's prologue, then head to the aftermarket at Sotoyama Ski Resort. Use a few credits, and this car will be waiting in your garage.
No.9 Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW PLATINUM
Ford F-450 SD is an extremely capable all-rounder, with a B 700 performance preset and excellent base stats. It shines in off-road and rally events; road and street races are possible but not where it truly dominates.
The standard version can be obtained directly at Auto Show, while special editions are mostly available through Wheelspin.
No.8 Acura Integra A-Spec 2023
Acura Integra A-Spec 2023 is a top-tier S1-class racer you simply must own. Visit Auto Show and exchange a few hundred thousand credits to add it to your collection.
It responds beautifully to tuning, and on twisty circuits you'll discover its astonishing agility. New players can also use it to practice drifting.
No.7 Honda Beat 1991
Honda Beat 1991 offers incredible value – with only 15,000 Credits, you can get this lovely little car. It dominates B, D, and A class road racing, and with modifications it becomes an excellent drift car and drag racer.
It's very customizable; you can even swap in an engine to give it Legendary 2JZ engine from Toyota Supra, or add ultra-wide 315mm tires for a completely different performance.
No.6 GMC Syclone (1991)
GMC Syclone is another easy acquisition from Auto Show. With an A-class meta tune, its handling reaches peak performance. This vehicle is especially popular for AFK money glitch – many players set up auto-drive to farm Credits with it.
That said, it's also perfectly ready for racing. Its remarkable handling is tailor-made for tarmac-based Road Racing and Street Racing.
No.5 Formula Drift #64 Forsberg Racing Nissan Z
This Nissan is objectively the best drift car in the game. As a Formula Drift collaboration model, you can get it at Auto Show for a few hundred thousand credits – no DLC required.
It handles everything from slow hairpins to high-speed long-sweep drifts with ease. Compared to some electric drift cars, it feels planted and rarely becomes unpredictable, allowing even beginners to earn full star ratings on nearly all drift zones.
No.4 Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition
Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition is a top-tier speed machine and drag racer. With proper tuning, it reaches 490 km/h and can push past 3,000 hp – one of the two fastest drag cars in the game.
However, the wheelie bars added at the rear make high-speed cornering nearly impossible, so it's best kept for drag races and speed zones where raw top speed matters.
No.3 Mazda 1991 55 Mazda 787B
Mazda 1991 55 Mazda 787B is currently the best car for road and street racing at the highest level. Its handling and grip are unmatched, especially in S2 class events.

No.2 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex
This car is a full upgrade over the standard Trueno AE86. It is currently the fastest vehicle in the game, with a top speed exceeding 520 km/h. At the same time, it is also a top-tier drifting meta car. Its only drawback: you need to complete roughly 10 of the 16 chapters in Discover Japan series to unlock it.
No.1 Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition
Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition is one of the fastest drag cars, one of the fastest top-speed cars, and a superb all-rounder. You can tune it to X class, where it performs brilliantly; it is also among the top five drift cars in the game, and its drag capability is equally astonishing – it works for almost any scenario you can imagine.
After finishing Forza prologue, you can force it to appear through the aftermarket car cycle in just 20–30 minutes. Once you have it, you can dominate nearly every type of event.
These ten cars cover off-road, road racing, drifting, drag racing, and everything in between. Whether you're just starting out or chasing the absolute limit, one of them will surely meet your needs.
