Forza Horizon 6 Fastest Cars: Speed Traps, Highway Pulls & Top Speed Records
The single most-asked question in the FH6 community: "What's the fastest car?" The answer depends on whether you mean top speed, speed trap performance, or highway racing. Here's the breakdown.
Top Speed Records (Highway Pulls)
| Rank | Car | Max Speed (mph) | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Koenigsegg Jesko (2020) | 307 | Max engine swap, race turbo, max aero (lowest downforce) |
| 2 | Hennessey Venom F5 (2021) | 301 | Stock engine fully upgraded, race twin turbo |
| 3 | Bugatti Chiron Super Sport (2022) | 295 | Max engine + centrifugal supercharger |
| 4 | Rimac Nevera (2023) | 281 | Electric, no engine swap, max motor upgrade |
| 5 | Koenigsegg Agera RS (2017) | 277 | Race twin turbo, max engine |
Best Speed Trap Cars (Acceleration + Top Speed Balance)
Speed traps require you to hit a specific point at maximum velocity. Pure top speed cars struggle because they take too long to accelerate. These cars balance both:
- Rimac Nevera — Instant electric torque = fastest 0-200. Near-impossible to beat on shorter traps.
- Koenigsegg Jesko (drag tune) — AWD swap + drag tires + shortest gearing possible. Monster launches.
- Bugatti Divo (2019) — Slightly worse top speed than Chiron, but vastly better handling for curved approaches.
Best S2 Class Highway Racing Car
The highway near Tokyo Bay (FH6's longest straight) is the community's de facto drag strip. The meta for highway races:
- Bugatti Chiron Super Sport (S2 998): AWD gives it launch advantage over the Jesko. Wins short-to-medium highway pulls.
- Jesko (S2 998): Wins long highway pulls (2km+). RWD only, so demand perfect throttle control.
- Forza Edition Lamborghini Sesto Elemento: Best handling hypercar. Loses pure drag races, wins any track with corners.
Free/Cheap Speed Options
- Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat (cheap Autoshow): Boss 1100 engine swap reaches 270+ mph for under 100K credits.
- Toyota Supra RZ (starter car): Racing V8 swap + max turbo = 250+ mph. Your earliest speed option.
- Nissan GT-R R35 (90K Autoshow): 1,200 HP swap reaches 265+ mph. Budget highway king.
