Forza Horizon 6 Update 5, also known as the British Automotive Update, brings a large collection of British-themed content alongside powerful new cars, Drift Attack, and changes to the open-world dealership. Players interested in expanding their collections may also want to manage their Forza Horizon 6 Credits carefully, especially with rare cars becoming temporarily available. Update 5 introduces nine notable vehicles, although several have already appeared in previous Forza Motorsport titles. The update also adds a special Jaguar XJS, a temporary British car dealership, and an early preview of the next Horizon update.

The Festival Playlist is the first major source of new vehicles. The 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed can be unlocked by earning 80 points throughout the month. This luxury grand tourer is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that produces nearly 800 horsepower and 744 lb-ft of torque. While its large body makes it different from traditional sports cars, the combination of weight and power could make it an entertaining choice for players who enjoy smooth drifting.

Next is the 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior, which requires 20 points during the Summer season. The lightweight race car uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing roughly 100 horsepower. Instead of relying on massive power, the G40 focuses on low weight and responsive handling. It has already appeared in Forza Motorsport, but Update 5 marks its debut in the Horizon series. The car's racing character also makes it an interesting candidate for future Spec Racing events, although such use has not been confirmed. Fans may also hope that its arrival eventually opens the door for the Ginetta G55 GT4.

The third Festival Playlist addition is the 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR. Players can unlock it with 20 points during the Winter season. Its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces around 230 horsepower and sends power to the front wheels. The Astra VXR is a classic British hot hatch with a history of being modified for motorsport, so it could become an enjoyable platform for racing-oriented builds. Although it is new to Horizon, the model has appeared in previous Forza Motorsport games.

The Car Pass adds another four vehicles to the update. One of the biggest highlights is the 2025 McLaren W1. Its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 produces more than 1,200 horsepower, placing it firmly in modern hypercar territory. The W1 represents the latest generation of McLaren's flagship road cars, following the legendary F1 and P1. Its arrival gives players another high-performance machine to test on the roads of FH6.

The 2023 Dodge Demon 170 arrives next. This extreme muscle car features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing more than 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Under suitable conditions, it can reportedly reach 60 mph in around 1.6 seconds and even lift its front wheels during hard launches. Some players may question another Challenger-based vehicle joining the garage, but the Demon 170's enormous drag-racing performance gives it a distinct identity.

The remaining Car Pass vehicles offer very different driving experiences. The 1998 Renault Sport Spider uses a 2.0-liter engine with approximately 150 horsepower, but its lightweight construction should make it enjoyable on winding roads. The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Luftauto 002 is even more unusual. With a 3.2-liter flat-six, reinforced chassis, redesigned suspension, and KW coilovers, it combines classic Porsche styling with an off-road-oriented character.

Update 5 also introduces the 1990 Jaguar XJS to the Auto Show. A special Forza Edition version can be unlocked through Drift Attack, a new drift-focused time attack mode. Players compete on a dedicated course, aim for clipping points, and attempt to achieve the highest possible drift score. This provides a new activity for players who want to focus on drifting rather than traditional circuit racing.

Another temporary feature is the British car dealership at the stadium. During the update, players may encounter rare vehicles such as the 2019 Aston Martin DBS and 1961 Jaguar E-Type. These cars were previously associated with Wheelspins, so their temporary dealership availability could give collectors another way to find them. Holding rare cars for future Auction House opportunities is a possible strategy, although future prices and demand can change and are not guaranteed.

Looking ahead, Update 6 will be known as Horizon Meets and is expected to feature temporary 7-Eleven evolving-world content, permanent EventLab additions, new-to-Horizon cars, and a new profile badge. The planned temporary nature of the 7-Eleven content has already become a talking point, while the possible removal of the Edamame circuit near the stadium could also change the open-world racing experience. With new cars, limited-time dealerships, and fresh activities arriving throughout the update cycle, cheap Forza Horizon 6 Credits may be worth considering for players who want additional progression options while exploring the latest content.
