10 Best Drag Cars in Forza Horizon 6

Drag racing in Forza Horizon 6 is all about explosive launches, lightning-fast acceleration, and hitting staggering speeds on longer circuits. While cars like Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition 2012, Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition 2019, and Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Forza Edition 1985 are strong contenders, there are other top picks. Below is a list of the 10 best drag cars in Forza Horizon 6, each thriving in a niche of its own.

10. Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Forza Edition 1985

The  Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Forza Edition 1985 is one of those cars you judge by its cover, only for it to surprise you. I mean, the top speed for this car is miles ahead of any other fast car you might feel more inclined to try. 

At an astounding 324 mph top speed, you’ll be breezing down those straight lane tracks at blistering speeds that it will probably occur to you after you’ve crossed the finish line that you’ve, indeed, scooped first place in this outdated fourth-generation Toyota Corolla against all the odds. 

And mind you, the Forza Edition comes pre-tuned. So, you needn’t worry about making any adjustments, especially for newbies still learning the mechanics.

9. Ultima Evolution Coupe 1020 2015

The stats for the Ultima Evolution Couple 1020 2015 practically left me drooling. In less than a second, I’ve hit 60 mph. Another second more and I hit 100 mph. And it just keeps going further and further up until you hit speeds of over 300 mph. In short circuits, you’ll have already left any competition in the dust.

8. Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car 2019

I love me a sleek car, especially when it doesn’t compromise speed and acceleration. Driving the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car 2019, I feel like the engineers really paid close attention to every aspect of the driving experience, whether the interior or exterior of this hypercar

Taking it out for a spin, you’ll enjoy an astonishing launch and acceleration. A 10-point launch and acceleration isn’t anything light at all. Combined, it’s everything you need to get a leg up on opponents in competitive drag races that stretch not too far out of sight.

7. Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition 2019

Would you believe that a truck can get you across the finish line in the shortest time possible? When it comes to the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition 2019, the devs have fine-tuned it to thrive on drag racing challenges. I love that it launches off strong at a 10-point level. 

A strong start is everything in drag racing, but even so, the acceleration is also fully optimized. The only downside is that it’s only accessible to those who opt for the VIP paid DLC package.

6. Hennessey Venom F5 2021

The best drag cars in Forza Horizon 6 don’t always have to be functional. They can also have style, even if that comes at a cost. It’s still a price worth paying when the car still sustains competitive top speeds and acceleration. 

I’d go for the Hennessey Venom F5 2021 if you really want to stand out from the pack. You might have to fine-tune it further to max out the top speed and acceleration. But as is, you can hit the hundreds in just a few seconds after launch, and a maximum of 301 mph, easy.

5. Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition 2012

Forget multi-purpose cars with the Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition 2012. But what you compromise on dynamism you get back in horsepower and pre-tuned drag tires that will get the job done.

You may have problems careening around tight corners. But that’s not your worry in drag races. Instead, you’ll enjoy staggering horsepower, reaching top speeds of over 300 mph, faster than most cars.

4. Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 1982

Fancy yourself a classic race car? Check out the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 1982, ranking in fifth place among the best drag cars in Forza Horizon 6. In about five seconds, you’ll hit around 60 mph. 

After that, you might need to lean more heavily on skill because the acceleration stars to drag behind other cars. So, for this one, perhaps opt for shorter circuits.

3. Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition 1994

Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition 1994’s mint green color easily stands out, perfectly fitting of the cherry blossom season in Japan. I also love how the twin turbo replaces the headlights, and the V10 engine sticks out of the hood. That alone had me crippled at the knees, choosing to take this one out for a spin, and happy to report that it didn’t disappoint at all. 

While it comes pre-tuned for drag racing, the launch and acceleration are at perfect 10-point levels. Only the speed is at 9.4, but even so, it still easily cruises ahead of most cars. Plus, it’s a pretty cheap buy for newbies to get their hands on.

2. Rimac Nevera 2021

Electric vehicles may not be your first-choice for racing, but the Rimac Nevera 2021 makes a great case for itself, at least when it comes to eye-blinking launch. Thanks to an instant torque launch from the four electric motors attached to each of its four wheels, you won’t waste any time hitting 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds. 

Here’s where you learn that launch counts nearly as much as speed and acceleration. Among the best drag cars in Forza Horizon 6, the Rimac Nevera 2021 is the fastest electric vehicle you can get your hands on.

1. Mazda 787B

Forza Horizon 6 has so many racing challenges, from dirt racing to street racing, touge battles, time attacks, drift racing, and so much more. And it can be exhausting to tune cars for each one, especially when you only have a few favorites. 

In that case, you might want to add the Mazda 787B to your collection as the fallback for every race. And even when it can pretty much tackle corners, gravel, and drag racing, you’ll still enjoy competitive speed, acceleration, handling, and braking stats of above 9.0 against other cars.
