Forza Horizon 6: The Most Expensive Cars Ranked

Playground Games built an incredibly demanding economy for anyone trying to fill out their complete vehicle roster.

If you want every car in Forza Horizon 6, you need a mountain of credits. The top end of the Autoshow features multimillion-credit relics that will quickly drain your bank account. I spent time digging through the market to see exactly what you get for your money. High price tags rarely translate to track dominance. Sometimes you pay for real-world racing prestige, and sometimes you just buy a very pretty garage ornament.

Bypassing The Dealership

Dropping tens of millions of credits on a single vehicle hurts. You have a few options to get around the standard Autoshow pricing.

The Auction House is your best alternative. The secondary market is constantly flooded with high-end rewards, pushing the values down. The most expensive car in the game has a retail price of 70 million credits, but you can usually find it listed with a 20 million buyout price. Sitting through a bidding war can get you an even better deal.

You can rely on Wheelspins if you feel lucky. Every car on the top ten list is in the reward pool. The drop rates for legendary vehicles are very low, but it costs you nothing to pull the lever. Finally, check your inventory for Car Vouchers. A voucher completely ignores the retail cost of a vehicle. Spending one on the single most expensive car in the game is the most efficient mathematical choice you can make.

The Reality Of The Top Five

The top five cars hold the vast bulk of the wealth in the Autoshow. They are all vintage classics, but their stock performance varies wildly.

1966 Ford #2 GT40 Mk II

This is my personal favorite car to drive in the game, especially when wearing the Gulf livery. At 13.2 million credits, it's the cheapest of the top five, but it's the most capable straight out of the box. It holds an A-Class 666 rating. It's the heaviest car in this specific group, but it compensates with the highest top speed, torque, and horsepower. These stats make it an excellent choice for A-class sprints where straight-line speed matters. In reality, this exact model broke Ferrari's six-year winning streak at Le Mans with a 1-2-3 finish.

1967 Ferrari #24 Spa 330 P4

This is the peak of the Autoshow economy. It costs a staggering 70 million credits and comes with an A-Class 684 rating. It lacks the top speed of the GT40, but it completely dominates off the starting line. It has the highest acceleration and launch stats of the top five. You can use it to secure an early lead in short circuit races where launching ahead of the pack is critical. Ferrari built this car specifically to retaliate against Ford, and two of them crossed the finish line together at the 1967 Daytona race. Only three exist in the real world.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR

Costing 60 million credits, the 300 SLR is the lightest vehicle in the top five. It sits at a B-Class 599 rating. It doesn't top the charts in any specific speed category, but its low weight makes it feel nimble in tight corners. The price is tied to real-world history. A 300 SLR recently sold for 135 million Euros, making it the most expensive car ever sold. Stirling Moss called it the greatest sports racing car ever built.

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO

This purchase is hard to justify for competitive racing. The 250 GTO costs 48 million credits and is objectively the worst performing car in this top bracket. It has a C-Class 494 rating. It shares the worst handling and braking stats with the Shelby Cobra, making it very difficult to control on stock tuning. Taking it online requires a steep investment in upgrade parts just to keep it on the asphalt. It's a vibes purchase, perfect for a slow cruise down Mt. Haruna. Ferrari only built 33 of them, and it holds the record for the most expensive Ferrari ever sold.

1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

At 20 million credits, the Shelby Cobra is a B-Class 515 vehicle. Much like the 250 GTO, it suffers from terrible stock handling and braking. You have to tune it extensively if you want to be competitive in multiplayer lobbies. It dominated the GT class at Le Mans and Daytona in 1964 and 1965, but in the game, it serves mostly as a garage trophy.
