Forza Horizon 6 is drawing attention not only for how its cars look, but also for how many of them behave differently once special functions are activated. Some vehicles carry hidden driving modes, while others add small but realistic features that make each model feel more distinct on the road.
The game does not clearly explain which cars include these functions or how to unlock them. As a result, players have been discovering them gradually, while the Reddit community has been piecing together a growing list of confirmed vehicles.
Driving modes that change how a car feels
The most notable discoveries are the modes that alter a car’s driving dynamics. Mercedes-AMG One is said to switch between Highway Mode and Track Mode, changing its aerodynamic elements and affecting handling.
The 2017 Ford GT is also reported to include Track Mode, with a lower suspension setup and an extended rear wing. Toyota GR Yaris, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Rimac Nevera, Ford Supervan 4, and McLaren P1 have also been identified with special programs such as Sport, Drift, or Race Mode.
Among them, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N stands out because its Drift Mode is easy to understand in practice. The mode adjusts power distribution so the car becomes easier to control while sliding.
Gordon Murray T.50 takes a slightly different approach with multiple aerodynamic settings. One setting is aimed at top speed, while another is designed to increase downforce.
Visual and functional details that feel more realistic
Not every extra feature affects handling directly. Ferrari Portofino, for example, does not have a special driving mode, but its convertible roof can be opened and closed with a single button.
McLaren 650S Spider, Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet, and Nissan Figaro are also listed with convertible roofs. Mazda MX-5, Miata RF, and the 2022 MX-5 are noted for convertible or hardtop functions, while Hummer EV, Pagani Zonda Cinque, and Porsche 918 Spyder are described as having removable roofs.
Some models add visual movement rather than a new driving preset. Zenvo models, for instance, feature an animated rear spoiler that gives the cars a more lively appearance while driving.
How the special functions are activated
These extra features are generally triggered through the special function button. On PC, the default key is G, while on a controller it is mapped to L3.
The effect depends on the car. In one model, the button may change aerodynamics, while in another it can switch power modes, open a roof, or activate a different function entirely.
Cars already identified by players
Community tracking suggests that the list continues to grow. The cars already noted by players can be grouped into driving-dynamics features and visual features, as shown below.
| Feature Type | Cars |
|---|---|
| Driving-dynamics | Mercedes-AMG One, 2017 Ford GT, Toyota GR Yaris, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Gordon Murray T.50, Rimac Nevera, Ford Supervan 4, McLaren P1, Porsche GT3 RS, Koenigsegg Gemera, Lamborghini Revuelto, Nissan Skyline R33 V-Spec |
| Visual | Ferrari Portofino, McLaren 650S Spider, Mazda MX-5 / Miata RF / 2022 MX-5, Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet, Nissan Figaro, Hummer EV, Pagani Zonda Cinque, Porsche 918 Spyder, Zenvo models |
Koenigsegg Gemera, Lamborghini Revuelto, and Nissan Skyline R33 V-Spec are reported to have rear-axle steering. Porsche GT3 RS is also noted for active aerodynamics.
On the electric and performance side, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Ford Supervan 4 are linked to AWD and Drift Mode functions. Rimac Nevera is said to include Track and Drift Mode, while Toyota GR Yaris and McLaren P1 are also mentioned with Sport, Track, or Race Mode settings.
For players, these discoveries show that Forza Horizon 6 goes beyond simple speed ratings. Many cars carry extra layers of interaction that make each model feel more specific, whether through driving modes or visual features that can be activated during play.
