Forza Horizon 6’s Italian Exotics Update Brings New Cars and a Rivals Reset
The update adds Italian-themed Festival Playlist rewards, 52 EventLab props, dealership deals, and four cars in the Italian Passion Car Pack.
Forza Horizon 6 has begun rolling out its Italian Exotics update, which brings a new Festival Playlist series, fresh cars, EventLab additions, and a reset for the game’s Rivals Leaderboards. The update became available on Steam on July 13 at 5:00PM UTC, while the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist series will begin on July 16 at 2:30PM UTC.
The full announcement is available through the Steam announcement. The Italian Passion Car Pack will follow on July 14 at 3:00PM UTC. It is included with the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition and will also be sold separately through Steam.
Rivals Leaderboards Reset With the Update
Playground Games has reset all Rivals Leaderboards alongside the Italian Exotics release. The decision follows the discovery of unrealistic entries linked to glitches, exploits, and times recorded with Drag Tires before the June 15 physics changes.
Clean lap times used to unlock the associated Rivals Collection Journal items will remain intact. The team is also investigating similar issues affecting PR Stunts Leaderboards, although no reset date has been provided for those boards.
Italian Passion Car Pack Cars
The Italian Passion Car Pack adds four cars to the garage. Premium Edition owners will receive them at no extra cost once the pack becomes available on July 14 at 3:00PM UTC. Other players can purchase the pack separately.
- 2025 Ferrari F80
- 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider
- 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm
- 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP
The Ferrari F80 arrives with 1,200 horsepower and 1,050 kg of downforce. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm produces 533 horsepower, while the racing-focused SE 048SP uses a Ferrari-sourced 3.5-liter V12 producing around 680 horsepower. The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider is one of only 10 examples built.

The Italian Exotics Festival Playlist contains 10 Series Reward cars, including three new-to-Horizon vehicles. The 2024 Lamborghini Temerario, 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB, and 1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 will be available through Playlist events beginning July 16.

EventLab, Customizable Garages, and The Estate receive 52 new props. The additions include festival and gameplay props, scaffolding, shipping containers, lanterns, plant pots, signs, vending machines, station pieces, fences, and other urban and rural objects. Existing props also receive more color variants.
Patch Notes
The update addresses AI behavior, skill tracking, Auction House pricing, and several exploits affecting progression and The Eliminator.
- Improvements have been made to reduce excessive AI collisions on corner entries.
- Fixed an issue causing the LINK Clean Sweep Skill to not be counted.
- Removed Auction House price cap for cars not purchasable in the Autoshow.
- Fixes have been applied to numerous exploits, including XP and credit farming using Auto Drive while AFK, Skill Points farming from Estates, and making yourself un-challengeable in The Eliminator by disabling head-to-head races.
The Italian Exotics series will run through August 13, giving players several weeks to collect its cars, complete Playlist events, and check out the temporary dealership.
