Quick answer: Forza Horizon 6 Series 2 "Horizon Decades" runs June 18 – July 16, 2026 (it goes live Thursday, June 18 at 2:30 PM UTC). It adds 10 Festival Playlist reward cars on a 20 / 40 / 80 / 160-point ladder, 4 new Car Pass cars, the return of The Trial, and a temporary Car Meet at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit. The two headline cars are the 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau (80 pts) and the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 (160 pts) — both available the whole month. Everything you need to claim them is below.
Series 1 "Welcome to Japan" is over, and Forza Horizon 6's second seasonal Series — Horizon Decades — is here. The theme is exactly what it sounds like: iconic cars from across the decades, dropped into a four-week Festival Playlist with a fresh batch of reward cars you can only earn while the season is live.
This guide lists every Series 2 reward car, the exact point cost to unlock each one, which week it's available, the four Car Pass additions, and the fastest way to bank the points so you don't miss the headline cars. All car names, dates and point thresholds are verified against the official forza.net Series 2 announcement and the official Forza forums Series 2 thread.
When does Series 2 "Horizon Decades" start and end?
Series 2 is a four-week Series, split into four one-week seasons that rotate Summer → Autumn → Winter → Spring (FH6's seasons run weekly, not real-world long):
| Season (week) | Dates (2026) |
|---|---|
| Summer | June 18 – June 25 |
| Autumn | June 25 – July 2 |
| Winter | July 2 – July 9 |
| Spring | July 9 – July 16 |
As the official announcement puts it: "Over the next four weeks, players can look forward to experiencing 3 new-to-Horizon cars and a temporary Car Meet at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit." — forza.net, Series 2 Horizon Decades.
The catch: most reward cars are tied to a specific week. Once that season rolls over, the weekly cars rotate out of the Playlist and you can no longer earn them the easy way — you're left chasing them on the Auction House or hoping for a Wheelspin. So if a car below shows a single-week window, claim it that week.
All Forza Horizon 6 Series 2 reward cars (full points ladder)
Festival Playlist points are cumulative across the whole Series. You earn points by completing Seasonal Events, Challenges, Photo Challenges and Treasure Hunts, then the game hands you the reward car automatically once you cross each threshold. Here's the complete Horizon Decades ladder:
| Points | Reward car | When (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 pts | 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf | Summer (Jun 18–25) |
| 40 pts | 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV | Summer (Jun 18–25) |
| 20 pts | 1998 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 | Autumn (Jun 25–Jul 2) |
| 40 pts | 1993 Schuppan 962CR | Autumn (Jun 25–Jul 2) |
| 20 pts | 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10 | Winter (Jul 2–9) |
| 40 pts | 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning | Winter (Jul 2–9) |
| 20 pts | 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R | Spring (Jul 9–16) |
| 40 pts | 2017 Saleen S7 LM | Spring (Jul 9–16) |
| 80 pts | 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau | Series-wide (Jun 18–Jul 16) |
| 160 pts | 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 | Series-wide (Jun 18–Jul 16) |
That's 10 reward cars. The pattern is simple and consistent: each week gives you one 20-point car and one 40-point car, and the two big Series-wide milestones (80 and 160 points) stay available the entire month so you can grind toward them across all four weeks.
(Note: the official news post lists the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 alongside the 40-point cars, while the forums reward table places it at 20 points for its Autumn week — we've gone with the consistent one-20 / one-40 weekly pairing. Either way, it's an Autumn-week reward, so prioritize it June 25 – July 2.)
The two cars you actually want: Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau & Lotus Exige Cup 430
The 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau (80 pts) and the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 (160 pts) are the Series' grand-prize cars and the reason to keep playing all four weeks. Because they're available the entire Series (June 18 – July 16), you don't have to rush — points you bank in week 1 still count toward them in week 4. Prioritize hitting 80 first (you'll likely pass it in the opening two weeks of normal play), then push for 160 before the Series ends.
Series History reward: 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II
Beyond the per-Series ladder, FH6 tracks your lifetime Festival Playlist points on a separate "Series History" page. The current Series History reward is the 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II, unlocked at 500 cumulative points across all Series. This is a layered system that trips a lot of players up — see the FAQ for exactly how the reward tiers stack.
The 4 new Car Pass cars (weekly schedule)
If you own the Car Pass, Horizon Decades drops four more cars on a weekly cadence — these are separate from the Playlist rewards and unlock automatically as the weeks tick over:
| Date (2026) | Car Pass car |
|---|---|
| June 18 | 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD |
| June 25 | 1974 Mazda #123 Mad Mike 808 Wagon 'FURSTY' |
| July 2 | 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary |
| July 9 | 2023 Toyota GR Corolla |
The R8 GT RWD and GR Corolla are genuinely strong all-rounders, and the Mad Mike 808 Wagon is a rotary drift toy — but the Car Pass is a paid add-on, so these are only "free" if you already bought it.
The Trial returns in Series 2
One of the Festival Playlist's single biggest point payouts, The Trial, comes back for Horizon Decades. It's a co-op championship — your human team races a best-of-three against a squad of Unbeatable AI Drivatars, with scoring based on combined finish positions (lowest team total wins each race). It pays roughly 10 points in one shot, so it's one of the most efficient ways to climb toward those 80- and 160-point milestones.
Two things to know before you queue:
- Access is gated behind the Gold Wristband / Horizon Legends progression — if you haven't pushed your Wristband track far enough, you won't see The Trial yet.
- It's far easier with a full convoy of real players than with matchmade randoms, because every teammate's finishing position counts against the total.
The temporary Car Meet at Hokubu Time Attack Circuit
Horizon Decades adds an Evolving World Car Meet at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit — a dedicated parking area with Horizon Decades festival branding where you can show off your collection. It's a cosmetic/social feature, not a points machine, so treat it as a bonus rather than a grind target.
How to earn Festival Playlist points fast
You need points, not playtime, so play efficiently. The highest-value point sources in FH6:
- Horizon Promo Photos — 10 points per car. Snap a promo photo of each car you own in Photo Mode for a flat 10 points apiece. With 550+ cars in the game, this is an enormous, repeatable points bank most players ignore.
- The Trial — ~10 points in a single championship (see above).
- XP Boards — 10 / 30 / 50 points for hitting 1,000 / 3,000 / 5,000 smashed boards.
- Link Skills — 10 points the first time you perform each new shared skill near other players.
- Race wins on tuned-down Drivatar difficulty — fast, repeatable, and they feed your Wristband progression at the same time.
If you'd rather not grind the photo/board busywork at all, the fastest route to the cars you missed is simply buying the Credits to snipe them on the Auction House, or skipping straight to a fully-stocked All-Cars Bundle.
Missed a weekly car? Wheelspins are your backup
Once a weekly reward car rotates out, your realistic options are the Auction House or Wheelspins. For Wheelspin farming, the community's best-value method is well established: run a high-Wheelspin reward car on a dense skill-points map to convert skill points into Super Wheelspins cheaply. Players rate the Subaru Impreza 22B as the top value pick — roughly 30 skill points for a Super Wheelspin at around 86k CR, far cheaper than the Lamborghini Revuelto route (most Wheelspins, but ~400k CR). For the full method, see our Wheelspins guide.

FAQ
When does Forza Horizon 6 Series 2 start and end? Series 2 "Horizon Decades" goes live Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 2:30 PM UTC and runs through July 16, 2026, split into four weekly seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring).
What is the Series History reward and do I really need 500 points? Yes. FH6 layers its rewards: Event rewards for finishing a specific event, Weekly rewards for accumulating points within a week, Series rewards for accumulating points across the four-week Series, and a separate Series History reward for your lifetime total. The current Series History car is the 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II at 500 cumulative points — it sits on top of the normal Playlist ladder, so it's a long-game milestone, not part of the 160-point Series ladder.
What's the fastest way to get the Horizon Decades reward cars? Bank points efficiently: Promo Photos (10 pts/car), The Trial (~10 pts), XP Boards, and Link Skills add up fast, with race wins on lowered difficulty filling the gaps. Hit the 80-point Porsche first, then push for the 160-point Lotus. If you miss a weekly car, use Credits/Auction House or Wheelspins to backfill.
Can I still unlock a weekly car after its season ends? Not through the Playlist — weekly cars rotate out when the season changes. After that you're limited to the Auction House (using Credits) or Wheelspins. The two Series-wide milestone cars (Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau and Lotus Exige Cup 430) stay available the entire month.
What's the best car for farming Wheelspins? Community testing favors the Subaru Impreza 22B for value — about 30 skill points per Super Wheelspin at ~86k CR — run on a dense skill-points map. The Lamborghini Revuelto carries the most Wheelspins per car but costs ~400k CR, making the 22B the cheaper grind.
Do I need the Car Pass for the reward cars? No. The 10 Festival Playlist reward cars are free for everyone via points. The Car Pass is a separate paid add-on that unlocks four extra cars (Audi R8 GT RWD, Mad Mike 808 Wagon, Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary, GR Corolla) on a weekly schedule.
