Forza Horizon 6 Italian Exotics Update Brings New Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and More

The latest Forza Horizon 6 update is one of the game’s biggest content drops yet, celebrating the beauty of Italian automotive engineering through the new Italian Exotics Festival Playlist and the Italian Passion Car Pack. Alongside a garage full of legendary supercars, the update also introduces gameplay improvements, leaderboard resets, EventLab additions, and a fresh lineup of Car Pass vehicles.

Whether you’re collecting every rare car, competing in Rivals, or simply exploring Horizon Japan, this update offers plenty of reasons to jump back behind the wheel.

Italian Exotics Update Release Schedule

The update rolls out in multiple stages:

Players who own the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition automatically receive the Italian Passion Car Pack, while everyone else can purchase it separately through the Microsoft Store or Steam.

Major Gameplay Improvements

This update focuses not only on adding content but also improving gameplay balance and fairness.

AI Racing Improvements

Corner-entry AI behavior has been adjusted to reduce excessive collisions, creating cleaner and more competitive races.

Skill Fixes

Several long-standing issues have been addressed, including:

· LINK Clean Sweep Skill now registers correctly.

· Auction House price caps have been removed for vehicles unavailable in the Autoshow.

· Multiple exploits have been eliminated.

These exploit fixes include:

· AFK Auto Drive XP farming

· Credit farming exploits

· Estate Skill Point farming

· Eliminator invulnerability exploit

These changes help maintain a healthier in-game economy and improve competitive integrity.

Rivals Leaderboards Receive Complete Reset

One of the most significant changes in this update is the complete reset of the Rivals Leaderboards.

Developers discovered numerous unrealistic lap times created through:

· Physics-related glitches

· Exploits

· Runs completed using Drag Tires before the June 15 handling rebalance

After the Italian Exotics update, every Rivals leaderboard has been reset to give all players a fresh competitive start.

Fortunately, Collection Journal progress earned through legitimate Rivals completions remains intact, so previously unlocked rewards are not lost.

The development team is also investigating PR Stunt leaderboards and expects similar resets after future exploit fixes are implemented.

Italian Passion Car Pack

The headline DLC introduces four iconic Italian automobiles spanning multiple decades of automotive history.

Each vehicle offers a completely different driving experience.

2025 Ferrari F80

Car Pass Adds Four More Vehicles

Managing Your Garage and Credits

With so many new vehicles arriving in a single update, players may need additional resources to expand and upgrade their collections. Earning Forza Horizon 6 Credits through races, Festival Playlist events, and seasonal challenges remains the primary way to purchase cars, tuning parts, and Auction House listings.

For players who want to accelerate their progress, some community members also look for FH6 Credits buy options through third-party marketplaces. As always, be sure to understand the game’s policies and any potential risks before using external services.

Looking Ahead: Horizon Mascot Party

The Italian Exotics update is only the beginning. The developers have already revealed that the next seasonal update, Horizon Mascot Party, will introduce:

· Additional new vehicles

· Mascot-themed activities

· A new Evolving World Time Attack Circuit

· More seasonal events and collectibles

With a steady stream of content updates, Forza Horizon 6 continues to expand its already impressive car roster while refining gameplay through meaningful balance changes and quality-of-life improvements. The Italian Exotics update delivers something for nearly every type of player—from competitive racers and collectors to EventLab creators and casual explorers—making it one of the strongest post-launch updates the game has received so far.
