Play the new Drift Attack feature starting today and discover new cars and events in Horizon Japan.
Keep your seatbelts fastened, turn off traction control and get ready for lots of oversteer and tire smoke in Drift Attack, the permanent new feature available today with Forza Horizon 6’s latest update: British Automotive.
In addition to Drift Attack, the British Automotive update celebrates the legends of British engineering with the British Automotive Takeover by the Horizon Stadium and 3 new-to-Horizon cars to obtain from the Festival Playlist featuring the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed, 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior and 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR.
Drift Attack also gives you the opportunity to unlock a special, brand-new Forza Edition car that is purpose-built to go sideways: the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. In addition, a stock version of this vehicle has been permanently added to the Autoshow.
What’s more, there are 4 new-to-Horizon cars for players who have purchased the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass – including the 2025 McLaren W1 with advanced painting options for individual parts of the car, as well as fresh clothing to unlock, a new Player Badge to earn, and the adorable Drift Tire Mascot Collectible to smash in the Shimanoyama region.
Forza Horizon 6's latest series update will be available for download starting on Monday, September 7 at 5:00PM UTC on XBOX Series X|S, the XBOX app on PC and Steam, ahead of the British Automotive Festival Playlist starting on Thursday, September 10 at 2:30PM UTC.
Here's a preview of the fixes and improvements coming your way in this update based on the feedback and reports you've been sharing with our teams on the Forza Feedback Portal:
If you encounter any issues while playing Forza Horizon 6 that haven't been addressed in this update, be sure to submit a bug report on the Forza Feedback Portal and include as much detail as you can to help our teams investigate the problem.
Drift Attack combines the freedom and accessibility of Drift Zones with the intensity and competitiveness of Horizon Drift. It’s like Time Attack for drifters, accessed directly from the open world with no loading and no friction.
You can play Drift Attack by driving to its unique map icon at the Shimanoyama Circuit, which has been transformed into a permanent Drift Attack circuit, and just like in Time Attack, you can initiate a Drift Attack by driving through the gantry.
This is where you drifting skills are put to the test! Whether you’re sliding sideways by yourself, with a Convoy or alongside other players who you’ve met in the Shared World, your objective is to score the highest number of drift points within a single lap. However, there is no limit to how many laps you can run, so keep going until you’ve made it to the top of the leaderboard!
Points are earned by drifting along the track in the same way they are in Horizon Drift and at Drift Zones. However, one key difference here is the addition of Clipping Zones, which are positioned around the drift circuit. These will boost any points that you earn if a drift is performed while the car is within the boundaries of the Clipping Zone.
Drift Attack also includes the full functionality of in-world and Convoy Leaderboards. In addition, Drivetrains against each Drift Attack leaderboard entry are also included in the menu leaderboard options.
Drift Attack is integrated into the Horizon Festival Campaign and unlocked by obtaining the Yellow Wristband. By earning completion for Drift Attack in the Collection Journal, you can obtain the Drift Attack Racesuit and Helmet, as well as a brand-new fully customized Forza Edition car, at any time, that’s ideal for drifting: the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. A stock version of this car has also been added to the Autoshow for all players to purchase.
Don't miss out on the British Automotive Takeover of the Aftermarket dealership near the Horizon Stadium located in the Shimanoyama region. Here you will find a selection of unmissable deals on a variety of British cars that you can purchase on the spot and immediately add to your collection.
Additionally, keep an eye out for two rare cars usually only available in Wheelspins: the 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera and 1961 Jaguar E-type.
Players will also be able to test drive the 20 PTS Seasonal Reward car each week from the Aftermarket dealership, each of which are spotlighted below!
British Automotive features 10 Series Reward cars to collect – three of which are new-to-Horizon. These include the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed, 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior and 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR.
There are also two cars returning from previous games, the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT and 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, as well as two Wheelspin-exclusive cars: the 2019 Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car and 2016 Bentley Bentayga.
New clothing options available in this series include the Retro Racesuit and Classic Jacket. The former can be unlocked in Week 1’s Photo Challenge #JaguarSnap, while the latter is obtainable during Week 2’s Seasonal Hide & Seek.
Additionally, the Drift Tire Mascot Collectible can also be found in the Shimanoyama region during the second week of the series. Whenever you drive through one of these adorable mascots, their feet and glasses will fall off as its eyes water up! 🥲
In addition, there’s also a special Lionheart Player Badge obtainable by playing Forza Horizon 6 anytime during the British Automotive series of the Festival Playlist.
As a reminder, you can stay up to date with current and previous Festival Playlist events and challenges in this new hub on Forza.net. Be sure to save this one to your bookmarks so you can easily reference it in the future!

Forza Horizon 6's Italian Exotics update will be available for download starting on Monday, July 13 at 5:00PM UTC on XBOX Series X|S, the XBOX app on PC and Steam, ahead of the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist series starting on Thursday, July 16 at 2:30PM UTC.
Here are some of the top improvements in this update based on the feedback and reports you've been sharing with our teams on the Forza Feedback Portal:
Check out the Forza Horizon 6 Italian Exotics release notes on our Forza Support site for a full overview of the fixes and other changes that are included with this release.
If you encounter any issues while playing Forza Horizon 6 that haven't been addressed in this update, be sure to submit a bug report on the Forza Feedback Portal and include as much detail as you can to help our teams investigate the problem.
With the release of Italian Exotics on July 13, we’ve reset all Rivals Leaderboards. The fixes included in this update patch glitches which could be exploited to pollute the Leaderboards with unrealistic times.
We understand this will be disappointing to players with legit lap times; however, we’ve chosen this approach so that way everyone has a clean sheet to play with going forward. Regardless of the Leaderboards deletion, any clean times posted to earn the associated Collection Journal items for the Rivals will not be lost and will remain unlocked.
Our team are also looking into resolving some glitches that can be used to pollute PR Stunts Leaderboards with unrealistic scores, and while we don’t have a timeline yet, we do expect to perform a complete wipe of those Leaderboards once the fixes have rolled out.
Embrace your passion for automotive perfection in 4 great new Italian cars in Forza Horizon 6 that are ideal for cruising, racing, or exploring.
Our team is investigating Leaderboards in Forza Horizon 6 due to the presence of unrealistic entries. These have been achieved through the exploitation of glitches or obtained by using Drag Tires before the latest physics balance changes we’ve introduced on June 15.
Therefore, we’ve made the decision to proceed with a complete reset of the affected Leaderboards, which will be wiped as soon as these exploits get patched in the game.
The Italian Passion Car Pack introduces both modern and classic Italian cars to your garage featuring the 2025 Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, and 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP.
Once you download the Italian Exotics update and have purchased the Italian Passion Car Pack (included at no additional cost with the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition or Premium Upgrade), all four cars will be automatically added to your in-game garage for free starting on Tuesday, July 14 at 3:00PM UTC.
2025 Ferrari F80
The 2025 Ferrari F80 was designed and named to commemorate Ferrari's 80th anniversary, and the Prancing Horse certainly pulled out all the stops to make F80 an automotive milestone. The entire braking system fitted on this car was co-developed with Brembo; the electric engine is the first one completely manufactured in-house, and its aerodynamics produce 1050 kg of downforce. With 1200 horses under its hood, this is the most powerful road-legal Ferrari ever made. Join Ferrari’s celebration with the 2025 Ferrari F80!
2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm
Alfa Romeo’s racing spirit of the 60s returns to the roads with the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm. The GTAm is an amped-up version of the already powerful Quadrifoglio. Ditching the rear seats for a roll cage and upgrading its V6 engine to produce 533 horsepower, the GTAm can reach 60 mph from zero in just 3.6 seconds. Sauber designed the new aero fitted on this car in their wind tunnel, and legendary Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen helped refine the final details. All of this in a road legal car you can drive every day.
1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP
Built to become a champion, the 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP was Alfa Romeo’s attempt to conquer the Group C class. The SE 048SP was originally created as a replacement for the Lancia LC2 in competitive racing. During development, the SE 048SP was ultimately fitted with a Ferrari-sourced 3.5-liter V12 producing around 680 horsepower. Its carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and aerodynamic bodywork were designed for the demands of Group C racing while retaining Alfa Romeo's signature grille design.
1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider
With only 10 units ever made, the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider stands among the rarest and most desirable Ferraris ever built. The GTB4 Spider was made as a successor to the 250 California Spider by request of Ferrari’s North America importer. This is one of those cars that proves performance and elegance can go hand in hand, delivering the unforgettable experience that only a classic open-top Ferrari can provide.
Don't miss the Italian Exotics takeover of the Aftermarket dealership near the Horizon Stadium in the Shimanoyama region where you will find unmissable deals on a variety of Italian cars. It's the perfect place to expand your collection of Italian Exotics.
Plus, keep an eye out for some rare exotics with 6 cars typically exclusive to Wheelspins that can spawn as Aftermarket Cars at this limited-time Italian dealership:
With Italian Exotics, the number of props you can use for building in EventLab, Customizable Garages and The Estate has expanded with 52 new additions. You'll also find new props featuring Horizon Decades branding, as seen at the Car Meet at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit from the previous series. Here's the full list of new props:
In addition to those, we've expanded the number of color variants for existing props that received a fresh coat of paint in Forza Horizon 6.
Italian Exotics features 10 Series Reward cars to collect – three of which are new-to-Horizon, in addition to a shiny new Badge to add to your profile obtained by simply playing Forza Horizon 6 anytime throughout the series.
Keep your eyes peeled around Japan as the Tank Latte Cup Collectible is ready to be found and smashed in the Ito region as part of the second week of this series.
Now, let's have a tour of the Reward Cars that await your garage over the coming weeks!
2024 Lamborghini Temerario
Earn 80 PTS during the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 16 – August 13.
The 2024 Lamborghini Temerario takes the place of the Huracán, celebrating the return of the V8 engine to a Raging Bull with a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine that puts out 789 hp. Embracing the new era, this pluggable hybrid includes 3 e-motors that bring the car’s total power to 907 horses. Its bold new exterior aero design maximizes airflow to enhance stability, braking, and cooling. Bring a new era of performance to Horizon Japan with the 2024 Lamborghini Temerario.
2022 Ferrari 296 GTB
Earn 160 PTS during the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 16 – August 13.
A Ferrari built to rediscover and reimagine the fun of everyday driving in a supercar, the 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB is a plug-in hybrid from the Prancing Horse that wants to reignite your passion for cars. What makes this car such a thrill to drive is its unique powertrain that combines a 120-degree V6 engine with an electric motor to produce 819 bhp. The rear-wheel drive, responsiveness, grip, and explosive power make the 296 a joy to cruise and race in.
1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5
Earn 20 PTS during the Summer Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 16 – July 23.
Italian design with an American heart, the 1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 is a revamp of one of De Tomaso’s most successful creations. The upgrades on the GT5 start in the exterior. The GT5 included a more aggressive body kit with sharper angles and a unique front bumper that makes it stand out even in an era of exotic design. This car is propelled by pure American muscle: a 5.8-liter Ford engine that produces 310 bhp and 330 lb-ft of torque.
2004 Maserati MC12
Earn 40 PTS during the Summer Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 16 – July 23.
The original purpose behind the 2004 Maserati MC12 might have been homologation, but with those looks, speed, and championship wins, its secondary use is to drop jaws. The 6.0-liter V12 engine that powers this car produces 624 horsepower, providing the car with a top speed of 217 mph. This makes the MC12 one of the fastest Maseratis ever made. The car went through multiple tunnel tests that resulted in its iconic carbon fiber body. The MC12 can rip through a quarter-mile race in just 11 seconds and can reach 60 mph in around 3.7 seconds. Experience hypercars at their finest with the 2004 Maserati MC12!
2017 Abarth 124 Spider
Earn 20 PTS during the Autumn Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 23 – July 30.
A car that begs to go out for a drive on a sunny day, the 2017 Abarth 124 Spider is an Italian convertible that can trace its roots all the way to Japan. The 124 is a rework of the Miata with a new 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that produces 165 bhp. That power is fed to the rear wheels through Mazda’s six-speed transmission. Handling is where this car shows its best side; its reworked body and new suspension make the car stiff around corners. Enjoy this blend of Italian style and Japanese engineering in Forza Horizon 6!
2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO
Earn 40 PTS during the Autumn Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 23 – July 30.
If the Lambo Huracán wasn’t brutal enough for you, the Raging Bull kicked up their entry level car to create the 2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO. The upgrades start in the exterior with an even more aggressive design that calls back to other Lambos such as the Countach and the Murciélago. A new spoiler and bumper were also added to improve downforce. Put your foot all the way down and this car’s mighty V10 engine will take you from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. Four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive make launching from a standstill and controlling corners an easy task. Make way for another mighty bull with the 2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO!
1982 Lancia 037 Stradale
Earn 20 PTS during the Winter Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 30 – August 6.
The 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale is the road-legal version of the legendary rally racer bred for homologation. The 037 shows its rally pedigree in its light weight and handling-focused construction. This car is equipped with a 2.0-liter supercharged engine built by Abarth that can output 202.5 bhp. Its Kevlar and fiberglass body made it agile in corners, and the distinctive wing in the back gives the car its unmistakable looks. This car cemented itself in history by being the last rear-wheel drive vehicle to win the World Rally Championship. Have a taste of racing history with the 037 Stradale.
2020 Ferrari Roma
Earn 40 PTS during the Winter Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from July 30 – August 6.
You can arrive at a Car Meet in the 2020 Ferrari Roma, looking for a race or to make other drivers gaze at one of the prettiest Ferraris ever made. The stylish looks of the Roma draw inspiration from previous icons of the Prancing Horse resulting in an award-winning design filled with soft curves. On the performance side, inside of this Ferrari’s hood you can find a technologically enhanced 3.9-liter V8 engine that makes 612 horsepower and promises zero turbo lag. In short, the 2020 Ferrari Roma is a car you can enjoy behind the wheel and outside of it.
2022 Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder
Earn 20 PTS during the Spring Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from August 6 – August 13.
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder is all speed, no roof. This version of the Huracán brings 630 bhp to the tip of your fingers with its 5.2-liter V10 engine. The all-wheel drive system included in the Spyder also makes it a joy to drive through bendy roads. You better not be attached to your hairstyle when you arrive at the track in this one!
2022 Pagani Huayra R
Earn 40 PTS during the Spring Season on the 'Italian Exotics’ Festival Playlist Series. Available from August 6 – August 13.
As exotic and extreme as they come, the 2022 Pagani Huayra R is your next time-shattering, track-only vehicle of choice. The Huayra R is powered by a mighty 6.0-liter V12 engine that delivers 838 bhp to the rear wheels. This Italian exotic is no easy beast to tame as its engine produces 553 lb-ft of torque on a car that weighs just 2,314 lbs. From its new side air intakes, roof scoop, flat underbody, and unmissable wing, every tiny bit of the Huayra R is there to improve performance. There is no aspect in which the Huayra is lackluster; both its raw power and impressive control make it the perfect tool to clear any track!

2003 Aston Martin DB7 GT
Available with the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass starting July 16.
A revisited, powered-up version of the DB7 made 190 drivers incredibly happy when the 2003 Aston Martin DB7 GT hit the market. The British brand remade the exterior adding a new hood and upgraded rear wing to improve the car’s stability. The already powerful Cosworth-built V12 engine was tuned to produce 435 bhp and 410 lb-ft of torque. Inside, the DB7 GT offers luxury and sporty looks, featuring racing seats with suede finishes and reworked instrumentation.
1972 Nissan Patrol
Available with the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass starting July 23.
Unstoppable, versatile, and convertible, the 1972 Nissan Patrol is a vehicle that has done almost everything! This three-door vehicle is so resistant and capable that it has seen use as police transportation and a firetruck!
2024 Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium
Available with the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass starting July 30.
Previously known only as a symbol of efficiency and hybrid mobility, the Prius takes a bold step into performance territory with the 2024 Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium. The Prius Prime’s new exterior design gives the car a hot-hatch appeal as does its power. This car’s combined electric and gas engines deliver 220 bhp to your feet which you can take on any road thanks to its amazing maneuverability!
1972 Honda Z GT
Available with the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass starting August 6.
We don't need to remind you about the joys of driving a tiny car; the 1972 Honda Z GT can do it for us.

Its .3-liter engine can surprise anyone when it roars, and we are sure your heart will skip a beat when you look at it going!
Our next update, Horizon Mascot Party, will appreciate those adorable and iconic mascots found across Japan! Look forward to new cars and events, a themed Evolving World Time Attack Circuit, and more.
Mud, Sweat & Gears requires an A-Class Total Buggies & Offroad car from the 2010s. This is a Horizon Special car category that can’t be found using car type filters.
Total Buggies & Offroad should consist of the Buggies, Unlimited Buggies, Offroad, and Unlimited Offroad categories, all of which can be filtered by car type. However, as of this writing on July 8, it appears that Playground Games mistakenly selected the Pickups & 4x4s category instead of the Offroad category, as indicated in the screenshot on slide 2.
Below is a list of eligible cars, with stock PI included to show which cars can be upgraded or downgraded to A-Class.
(Note: the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Trucks AT37 (D 332) is not included in the Total Buggies & Offroad category, despite being in the Pickups & 4x4s category.)
The following car is not eligible as its stock PI can’t be downgraded to A-Class:

"Hold on, still accelerating..."
I found it quite funny really but at the same time it is a complete joke. 2 of them just trolling. I reported them both via Xbox but I'm not sure if it does anything.
