Forza Horizon 6: Best Cars in Each Class

The Horizon Festival has graced Japan with over 600 cars in Forza Horizon 6, each belonging to different performance classes, ranging from the new and high-end R Class to the initial D. There are seven letter-grade classes in Forza Horizon 6: D, C, B, A, S1, S2, and R (from lowest to highest), and each vehicle is also assigned a Performance Index (PI) number, which indicates its overall performance.

However, with that many cars at your disposal, it’s challenging to determine which ones are the best from each class. Luckily, we’ve narrowed down the search for you, based on their stock speed, handling, acceleration, braking, and more. With that said, here are the best cars in each class in Forza Horizon 6.

1 R Class: Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car (2019)

R Class includes vehicles tuned for track racing, and the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car (2019) remains the class champion. With a PI of R 960, it’s one of the best and fastest stock hypercars in the game, boasting an 8.5 rating in Speed and 10 in Acceleration, Launch, and Braking. It’s swift, has terrific base power, and is easily controllable, thanks to its 9.2 Handling rating.

Alternative Pick: The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro FE (2019) is one of the best alternatives in the R Class, with a lower Speed rating than the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car but the same Acceleration, Launch, and Braking ratings.

2 S2 Class: Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition (2012)

The S2 Class is teeming with extreme hypercars, and the Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition (2012) stands at the top of this class. With a PI of S2 850, it’s the best for drag racing in the game, and with a rating of 10 in Speed, Acceleration, and Launch, you’ll be winning Drag Races without breaking a sweat. While its handling needs work, its stock ratings are good enough to warrant its top position in the S2 Class.

Alternative Pick: If you’re looking for a car with the same speed but better handling specifically, the Koenigsegg Jesko (2020) is a top-tier alternative in the S2 Class. It’s also one of the fastest cars in the game.

3 S1 Class: Porsche 911 Turbo S (2023)

The S1 Class includes the modern supercars, and while they lack the Speed found in the R and S2 classes, the other ratings make up for it. The Porsche 911 Turbo S (2023) is sleek and stylish, with a PI of S1 774. Its 7.8 Speed rating is offset by 9.3 in Acceleration and 10 in Launch. It might not be the most controllable car, but it’s accessible and can be tuned to enhance overall performance.

Alternative Pick: BMW M5 CS (2022) is a great alternative pick for an S1 car in Forza Horizon 6, particularly excelling in Acceleration and Launch.

4 A Class: Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum Forza Edition (2020)

The A Class features solid picks for most races and Time Attacks, and the Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum Forza Edition (2020) is an off-roading beast with a PI of A 700. It has a respectable 7.6 Speed rating, but stands out in Acceleration, Launch, and Off-road performance, scoring an impressive 8.7, 9.7, and 9.6, respectively. Its handling is less-than-stellar, but overall, it’s the best off-roading A-Class pick.

Alternative Pick: The BMW Competition Coupé (2020) is a more traditional option in the A Class, with better Speed and Handling rating.

5 B Class: Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG (2013)

The B Class doesn’t offer the fastest cars, but its vehicle offerings will be helpful for specific class races and for beginners. The Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG (2013) doesn’t have the best Speed or decent Handling, but its 6.6 Acceleration, 8 Launch, and 8.2 Off-road ratings make it a solid pick for beginners and off-roaders, not to mention a PI of B 530.

Alternative Pick: For players who want a more traditional B Class option with better Speed and Handling, the Audi RS 6 (2009) will give you a strong start.

6 C Class: Toyota Land Cruiser (2025)

C Class includes the low-cost vehicles and daily picks, so you can’t expect ridiculous speed from this specific class. However, the Toyota Land Cruiser (2025) is a decent all-rounder with a PI of C 456, and Speed, Acceleration, Launch, and Offroad ratings of 5.7, 4.9, 6.7, and 7.6, respectively. It’s the best car for off-road racing in this class, but handling it will require some skills.

Alternative Pick: The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 (2024) boasts a much better Offroad rating than the Toyota Land Cruiser, making it a solid substitute pick in this class.

7 D Class: Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum (2020)

D Class includes those cars that are at the bottom of the barrel and will only come in handy when you’re a beginner in Forza Horizon 6. With a PI of D 379, the Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum (2020) is the best pick in this class, boasting 4.6 Speed, 4,3 Acceleration, 7.3 Launch, and 8.4 Offroad ratings respectively. It’s not a competitive or viable option later in the game, but it does the job at the beginning.

Alternative Pick: For a more traditional pick in the D Class, settle for the Ford Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback (1968), which boasts a better Speed rating than the Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum.

CAR CLASS	BEST CAR	VALUE
R	Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car (2019)	1,150,000 CR
S2	Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition (2012)	750,000 CR
S1	Porsche 911 Turbo S (2023)	275,000 CR
A	Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum Forza Edition (2020)	500,000 CR
B	Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG (2013)	120,000 CR
C	Toyota Land Cruiser (2025)	70,000 CR
D	Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum (2020)	65,000 CR

It’s also worth noting that while these are the best stock cars in each class, tuning is crucial for allowing cars to race beyond their top performance. That wraps up our list of the best cars in each class in Forza Horizon 6. Of course, you may find picks with a higher PI than the ones listed above, but they provide balanced ratings overall rather than focusing simply on Speed.
