Forza Horizon 6 adds the Exocet XP-5

The Forza Horizon 6 Exocet XP-5 is the current 20-point Festival Playlist reward through August 20. The open-frame kit car combines a Mazda MX-5-based chassis with a 6.2-liter V8 in this track-focused specification.

Forza Horizon 6: confirmed details

Playground lists the 2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 at 1,696 pounds and 525 horsepower at the rear wheels. The broader series rewards are the 1970 Honda N600 at 80 points and the Renault 8 Gordini at 160 points, while the summer reward at 40 points is the Datsun 2000.

What changes for players

The XP-5’s power-to-weight ratio makes it an obvious tuning candidate, but its real value this week is availability: 20 points is the shortest direct route among the listed car rewards. Players pursuing the 80- and 160-point series cars can collect it naturally, while occasional drivers need to finish before the seasonal reset.

Timing and wider context

The Exocet window closes August 20 according to the official playlist post. The Honda and Renault use series totals rather than the same weekly deadline. Vehicle performance can change through tuning or later balance updates, so the published stock figures should not be confused with a final class build.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 13, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
