Forza Horizon 6 | Series 4 includes five new cars and a stadium time attack mode

Series 4 of Forza Horizon 6 is titled “Mascot Party” and features new and returning vehicles, additional EventLab props, and, for the first time, an evolving game world in the stadium.

As usual, a new Festival Playlist with challenges will be available for a total of four weeks. In addition to various vehicles, two new badges – the Mascot Badge and the Shimanoyama Heat Badge – as well as the two new horns “Mascot” and “Fus-Roh-Dah!” can be unlocked.

Five new vehicles

With five models, the number of new vehicles is significantly lower than the eleven additions in the previous series.

The compact Honda N600 gets things started. As its model designation already suggests, it is equipped with an air-cooled 600 cc engine. The vehicle is appearing in the Forza series for the first time and should fit harmoniously into the Japanese landscape.

A stark contrast is provided by the 2024 model-year Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Its V8 engine represents a careful evolution of the 2017 model already included in the open-world racing game. This version is also technically new to the Forza series.

The open Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 is also new to Forza Horizon 6, but has been carried over from Forza Motorsport.

The Toyota Celica GT is also returning from previous Forza Horizon titles. Judging by the only screenshot released so far and the lack of detailed information, the model appears to have been reworked for Horizon 6 and fitted with more detailed headlights, among other changes.

The fifth new model for Horizon 6 is the Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R, which is also returning from previous entries in the series.

All of the vehicles mentioned can be unlocked through the Festival Playlist challenges over the next four weeks.

In addition, five more vehicles already included in the game will be available. The Renault, Datsun, Abarth, and Toyota MR2 already appeared in Series 1 of Forza Horizon 6. The Dodge Dart, however, is making its Festival Playlist debut after previously being available exclusively through Wheelspins or the Auction House.

Edamame Time Attack Circuit in the Stadium

The stadium, which was a permanent fixture in previous Forza Horizon titles, has so far played only a minor role in Horizon 6. The “Mascot Party” update changes this: over the next four weeks, an “Edamame” time attack course, including an associated online leaderboard, will be available there.
