The New Cars: 3 New-to-Horizon Debuts

This is the headline. Series 4 brings 3 cars that have never appeared in any Forza Horizon game before.

2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 — 20 pts, Summer (Aug 13–20)

Engine: 6.2-liter V8 | Power: 525 HP / 486 lb-ft | Class: S2 841 | Drivetrain: RWD

The wildest car in this series by a significant margin. Exomotive builds are essentially a Miata platform stripped to its bones and rebuilt around a purpose-built tube frame — the result is a car that weighs almost nothing and punches absurdly above its class. 525 HP in a vehicle with hypercar-level power-to-weight means this will be chaos on the Touge and a weapon in S2 lobbies. Get it at 20 points — that’s your photo challenge, treasure hunt, and one daily. No excuses.

1970 Honda N600 — 80 pts, Full Series (Aug 13–Sep 10)

Engine: 0.6-liter inline-2 | Power: 36 HP / 31.8 lb-ft | Class: D 100 | Drivetrain: FWD

36 horsepower. The N600 is the car that started Honda’s international expansion — a successor to the N360 that weighed around 500 kg and competed in markets where kei cars had no business competing. In FH6 it sits at D 100, which is practically the floor of the PI system. As a D-class Touge novelty and a collector’s piece representing Honda’s roots, it’s genuinely special. At 80 points it requires a committed week but nothing unreasonable. Worth it.

2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — 20 pts, Autumn (Aug 20–27)

Engine: 6.2-liter V8 | Power: 650 HP / 650 lb-ft | Class: S1 718 | Drivetrain: RWD

The final Camaro ZL1 before Chevrolet ended the nameplate — fitted with a sophisticated suspension and responsive steering that Chevy specifically tuned to make this car work on a circuit, not just a drag strip. 650 HP on RWD at S1 718 is going to make this a strong contender in online lobbies. A farewell to an icon, and another easy 20-point pickup.

All 10 Series Reward Cars — Full Breakdown

Here’s the complete reward structure across all four weeks:

Points	Car	Season	Window	Class
20 pts	2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 ⭐	Summer	Aug 13–20	S2 841
40 pts	1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster	Summer	Aug 13–20	D 323
20 pts	2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 ⭐	Autumn	Aug 20–27	S1 718
40 pts	2016 Abarth 695 Biposto	Autumn	Aug 20–27	B 540
20 pts	1974 Toyota Celica GT	Winter	Aug 27–Sep 3	D 287 FWD
40 pts	1989 Toyota MR2 SC	Winter	Aug 27–Sep 3	D 397

160 pts	1967 Renault 8 Gordini	Full Series	Aug 13–Sep 10	D 322

⭐ = New to Forza Horizon

The priority cars this week (Summer, Aug 13–20):

20 pts → Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 — get this immediately
40 pts → 1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster — pre-240Z Nissan roadster, solid D-class drift candidate

Cars Worth Watching Beyond the New Debuts

1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster (40 pts, Summer): Playground specifically calls this out as a drift candidate, and they’re right — 135 HP in a lightweight RWD roadster at D 323 is a natural fit for B-class Touge once upgraded. Worth the 40 points.

1989 Toyota MR2 SC (40 pts, Winter): Mid-engine, supercharged, RWD. The MR2 SC is one of those cars with a devoted fanbase for good reason — the handling balance is exceptional for the class. It sits at D 397 stock, which gives you a lot of headroom to build toward A or S1 while keeping the mid-engine character intact.

1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R (20 pts, Spring): The widebody kit and 17-inch wheels are stock — not a build. Turbocharged, intercooled, C 446 RWD. The Starion is one of the hidden gems of 80s Japanese performance and one of the most aesthetically striking cars of its era. Easy 20-point pickup in the final week.

1967 Renault 8 Gordini (160 pts, Full Series): The big grind car. 160 cumulative points means you need to push consistently across all four weeks — that’s roughly the full 53 available in three of the four seasons plus a solid fourth. Built for homologation racing in the 60s with rally-oriented headlights and a button-operated automatic transmission. A collector’s piece more than a meta car, but if you’re completing the Series this comes with it.

Car Pass: 4 Weekly Drops

If you have Car Pass (included with Deluxe, Premium, or Premium Upgrade — or available separately), these land in your garage automatically each Thursday:

Date	Car	Class
Aug 13	1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2	A 696 RWD
Aug 20	1957 Ford Thunderbird	D 332 RWD
Aug 27	1983 Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo RS	C 413 RWD
Sep 3	1987 Porsche #203 Porsche AG 961	S2 840 AWD

The Porsche 961 is the standout here — a 632 HP AWD endurance racer at S2 840, purpose-built for Le Mans, and one of the most significant racing Porsches ever made. Playground specifically calls out the Goliath race on Legend Island for it. If you have Car Pass, September 3 is going to be a good week.

The Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo RS is the pre-GT-R Skyline that became a Japanese TV icon — it wore the red livery with the 4 Valve DOHC RS-Turbo badge on its doors in the show Seibu Keisatsu. For JDM history fans this one is significant.

What’s Actually New This Series

Edamame Time Attack Circuit — Series-Exclusive Track

A mascot-themed Time Attack Circuit available only during Horizon Mascot Party. Time Attack Circuits work differently from standard races — you’re setting the fastest lap you can at your car’s current PI level, competing on an in-world leaderboard that shows your next rival and the global top 3. The leaderboard resets each season. Show up in whatever car you want and chase the time.

This is exactly the kind of exploration-adjacent content we predicted in our preview — a series-specific venue that gives you a reason to be somewhere specific in the map rather than fast-travelling between standard events.

ASL and BSL Sign Language Support

Playground is adding American Sign Language and British Sign Language interpretation for cinematics via a picture-in-picture display. Position and background color are both customizable. This is a meaningful accessibility addition and one of the more substantive quality-of-life improvements in any series update so far.

44+ New EventLab Props

The mascot characters are now usable in EventLab races and custom garages. Full prop list:

Signs & Flags: 9 Mascot Flag variants, 9 Mascot Billboard variants, 9 Mascot Cutout variants, Inflatable Curry Rice Mascot
Walls & Fences: 9 Mascot Barrier variants
Road & Racing: 4 Pit Garage variants
Vehicles: Bike, Covered Scooter, Sports Motorbike
Garage: Plastic Crate, Plastic Container
Rural: Plant Box 1
Plus seasonal summer variants of existing props

For EventLab creators this is a substantial content drop — 44 new props in a single update is more than most series deliver.

2 New Car Horns

Mascot Horn — series-appropriate
Fus-Roh-Dah — yes, that Fus-Roh-Dah. Playground put a Skyrim shout in the car horn list. This is normal.

2 New Badges

Mascot Badge
Shimanoyama Heat Badge

Bug Fixes in This Update

The update drops Monday August 10 at 5:00 PM UTC — ahead of the Series 4 playlist starting Thursday. Three confirmed fixes:

Car Meet Livery unlock exploit — players could buy a car from a Car Meet and incorrectly unlock the associated Livery. Fixed.
Custom Livery thumbnails not loading. Fixed.
False “Garage Full” notification when receiving a new Car Pass car, combined with an incorrect message claiming cars couldn’t be removed. Fixed.

Full release notes are on the Forza Support site.

What’s Coming After Series 4

Playground confirmed the next series theme: British Automotive — celebrating iconic British cars from the classics through the present day. Launching September 2026. Given Series 3 was Italian and Series 4 is Japanese-and-eclectic, a British series makes sense as a thematic anchor. Expect Aston Martins, Lotuses, Jaguars, and probably at least one argument about whether McLaren or Jaguar should have the headline slot.

We’ll have the full British Automotive preview when the details drop.

Bottom Line

Series 4 is more interesting than a standard playlist rotation — the Edamame Time Attack Circuit is a genuine new venue, the Exomotive is one of the most unusual cars in the game, and the Honda N600 is a piece of automotive history that earns its place in any collection. The mascot theme delivered something substantive rather than just reskinned cosmetics.

Your priority this week: 20 points for the Exomotive Exocet first, then push toward 40 for the Datsun Roadster if you’re playing seriously. The Exomotive in particular is going to be a strong Auction House car once Summer ends — get it while it’s free.

Series 4 update drops Monday August 10 at 5:00 PM UTC. Playlist goes live Thursday August 13 at 2:30 PM UTC.

Playlist tracking: Playground launched a Festival Playlist archive hub on Forza.net covering every past and current Series — worth bookmarking if you’re tracking missed cars across Series 1–4.

PS5 players: FH6 is still coming to PS5 later in 2026. You can add it to your PlayStation wishlist now to get notified when it’s available.
