Forza Horizon 6 Update 5 introduces the British Automotive Update, bringing new cars, Drift Attack, a temporary British dealership, and several changes for collectors and racers. Players who want to expand their garages or build up Forza Horizon 6 Credits will find plenty of activities to explore. Although not every vehicle is completely new to the Forza franchise, the update still provides a diverse selection of British performance cars, modern hypercars, lightweight sports cars, and special editions.

Three Festival Playlist Highlights

The Festival Playlist contains three major vehicles that can be unlocked without purchasing additional DLC. First up is the 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed, which requires 80 points across the monthly Playlist. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces nearly 800 horsepower and 744 lb-ft of torque. The Bentley is a large luxury performance car, but its size and power could make it an entertaining choice for players who enjoy controlled drifting.

The 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior arrives as the Summer reward for 20 points. With a lightweight body and a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing roughly 100 horsepower, the G40 Junior is focused more on handling than raw power. It has already appeared in Forza Motorsport, but this is its first appearance in the Horizon series. Its racing-focused design also makes it a natural candidate for future Spec Racing events.

The final Playlist addition is the 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR, available for 20 points during Winter. Its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces around 230 horsepower, while front-wheel drive gives it the character of a classic British hot hatch. Players may also enjoy modifying it into a compact racing machine inspired by touring-car builds.

Four Car Pass Additions

Update 5 also expands the garage through the Car Pass. One of the biggest additions is the 2025 McLaren W1. Featuring a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with more than 1,200 horsepower, the W1 represents the latest generation of McLaren's flagship “1” cars following the legendary F1 and P1. It is one of the update's most significant modern hypercars and should attract players who enjoy high-performance builds.

The 2023 Dodge Demon 170 offers a completely different driving experience. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 produces more than 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. In the real world, the Demon 170 is famous for extreme acceleration and even wheelies during hard launches. Its performance in Horizon may differ from the real vehicle, but its exaggerated personality makes it a memorable addition.

The 1998 Renault Sport Spider is considerably less powerful, using a 2.0-liter engine producing approximately 150 horsepower. However, its lightweight construction and unusual design should make it entertaining to drive. With the right upgrades, it could become an interesting alternative to more conventional lightweight sports cars.

The final Car Pass vehicle is the 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Luftauto 002. Inspired by the concept of an early off-road 911, it features a reinforced chassis, redesigned suspension, KW coilovers, and a 3.2-liter flat-six producing 250 horsepower. Its unusual setup makes it particularly appealing for players who want to take a Porsche away from traditional paved roads.

Jaguar XJS and Drift Attack

The 1990 Jaguar XJS is another important part of Update 5. The standard version is being added to the Auto Show, while a special Forza Edition can be obtained through the new Drift Attack activity.

Drift Attack works as a drift-oriented time attack challenge. Instead of simply completing a circuit as quickly as possible, players need to maintain controlled slides, hit clipping points, and achieve a high overall drift score. This gives the XJS a fitting introduction and adds another activity for players who enjoy drifting.

The stadium's temporary British dealership is also worth checking. During the update, players may encounter rare vehicles such as the 2019 Aston Martin DBS and 1961 Jaguar E-Type. The source suggests purchasing these cars when available and potentially holding them for later resale, but future auction prices are not guaranteed and will depend on supply and demand.

Missing Senna and Update 6 Preview

One noticeable omission is the McLaren Senna. The supplied source mentions rumors of licensing complications involving the Senna name, but there is no confirmed explanation in the material. Therefore, players should treat those claims as speculation rather than official information.

Looking beyond Update 5, Update 6 is set to introduce the “Horizon Meets” theme. It will feature temporary 7-Eleven evolving-world content, permanent EventLab additions, new-to-Horizon cars, and a new profile badge. The temporary nature of the 7-Eleven content has already raised questions about why certain world features will not remain permanently available.

Overall, the British Automotive Update combines collectible cars, unusual racing machines, drift-focused gameplay, and temporary dealership opportunities. Whether your goal is collecting rare vehicles, experimenting with new builds, or using FH6 Boosting to progress more quickly, Update 5 gives Horizon players several new ways to spend time in the game.
