McLaren W1, Demon 170 & Porsche 911 — U4GM’s FH6 Showcase

Forza Horizon 6 Update 5, known as the British Automotive Update, brings a combination of new vehicles, seasonal rewards, Drift Attack, and changes to the open-world dealership. Players looking to expand their garages may also want to keep some Forza Horizon 6 Credits available for cars, upgrades, and potential Auction House opportunities. The update is connected with nine cars in total, although several have appeared in previous Forza titles and are only making their Horizon debut.

Festival Playlist Cars

The Festival Playlist introduces three major vehicles that can be earned without purchasing additional DLC. The first is the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed. Players need to collect 80 points throughout the monthly Playlist to unlock it. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing nearly 800 horsepower and 744 lb-ft of torque. The Continental GT Speed is a large luxury performance car, but its size and power could also make it an enjoyable choice for controlled drifting.

Next is the 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior, which requires 20 points during the Summer season. This lightweight race car uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing approximately 100 horsepower. While its output may seem modest, the G40 Junior focuses on low weight and racing dynamics. It has already appeared in Forza Motorsport, so it is not completely new to the franchise, but it is a fresh addition for Horizon players. Its racing-focused design also makes it a natural candidate for future Spec Racing events.

The third Festival Playlist addition is the 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR. It can be unlocked by earning 20 points during Winter. The front-wheel-drive hot hatch comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and around 230 horsepower. The Astra VXR has appeared in several previous Motorsport games but has never been part of a Forza Horizon title. Its real-world connection to touring car and track builds could also make it an interesting platform for customization in FH6.

Car Pass Brings More Performance

The $30 Car Pass adds four more vehicles during the update period. One of the biggest highlights is the 2025 McLaren W1. Featuring a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and more than 1,200 horsepower, the W1 represents the latest generation of McLaren's legendary “1” series after the F1 and P1. Its combination of extreme power and modern hypercar technology makes it one of the most notable additions in Update 5.

The 2023 Dodge Demon 170 arrives next. This drag-focused muscle car uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 capable of producing more than 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Under suitable real-world conditions, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 1.6 seconds and perform wheelies from a standing launch. Some players may consider it another variation of the Challenger platform, but the Demon 170 has also been highly requested by the community.

The 1998 Renault Sport Spider follows in the third week. With a 2.0-liter engine producing about 150 horsepower, this lightweight sports car is more about character and driving enjoyment than outright speed. Its unusual styling and compact dimensions should give players plenty of room to experiment with upgrades.

Finally, the 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Luftauto 002 joins the Car Pass lineup. It features a 3.2-liter flat-six producing 250 horsepower, along with a reinforced chassis, redesigned suspension, and KW coilovers. Its setup gives it a rugged character that makes it particularly interesting for off-road driving and custom builds.

Jaguar XJS and Drift Attack

Another important addition is the 1990 Jaguar XJS, which enters the Auto Show. A special Forza Edition version is connected to Drift Attack, the update's new driving activity. Drift Attack works like a time-attack challenge, but instead of simply racing against the clock, players must maximize their drift scores across a dedicated course with clipping points.

This gives drift enthusiasts a new way to compete and experiment with different cars and setups. The XJS Forza Edition also gives players an additional reason to explore the new activity.

British Dealership and Rare Cars

The stadium's usual used-car dealership is temporarily transformed into a British-themed dealership for the update. Among the notable vehicles that may appear are the 2019 Aston Martin DBS and 1961 Jaguar E-Type, which were previously associated with Wheelspin availability.

For collectors, these cars could become interesting Auction House targets after the temporary dealership disappears. Players who find one may choose to keep it rather than immediately selling it, depending on how availability and demand develop later.

Looking Toward Update 6

Update 5 also provides a preview of Update 6, called Horizon Meets. The October update is expected to feature temporary 7-Eleven evolving-world content, a permanent EventLab content pack, new-to-Horizon cars, and a new profile badge.

The temporary nature of the 7-Eleven content has already raised questions among players, especially because the theme connects with Japanese automotive culture. Another discussion point is the Edamame circuit near the stadium. If the existing area is removed without a replacement, players could lose another open-world racing location.

Overall, Update 5 combines British vehicles, modern hypercars, classic sports cars, a new drifting activity, and temporary dealership content into one substantial update. Whether you are collecting rare cars, testing Drift Attack builds, or preparing for future content, buy FH6 Super Wheelspins can help players make progress and get more value from the latest FH6 experience.
