Forza Horizon 6 has expanded its vehicle roster with the Italian Passion Car Pack, a new paid collection featuring four cars from Ferrari and Alfa Romeo.
The pack is available separately for £4.99 in the UK and $4.99 in the United States. It is also included for players who already own the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition or Premium Upgrade.
The release arrives alongside Series 3 of the Festival Playlist, which introduces the Italian Exotics theme. Premium owners should find the four vehicles available after loading the game, while everyone else can purchase the pack through the Microsoft Store or Steam.
The collection includes the 2025 Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm and 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP. Each vehicle is new to the Horizon series.
| Car | Type | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Ferrari F80 | Modern road car | Ferrari’s most powerful road legal model |
| 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider | Classic grand tourer | One of only 10 examples produced |
| 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm | Performance saloon | 533 horsepower and no rear seats |
| 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP | Group C prototype | Ferrari sourced 3.5 litre V12 |
Ferrari F80 leads the pack with 1,200 horsepower
The 2025 Ferrari F80 is the headline addition.
Created to celebrate Ferrari’s 80th anniversary, the car combines a petrol engine with an electric system developed in house. Its total output reaches 1,200 horsepower, making it the most powerful road legal Ferrari produced at the time described.
The braking system was developed with Brembo, while the body and aerodynamic package can generate up to 1,050 kilograms of downforce.
In Forza Horizon 6, the F80 should suit high speed road events and technical circuits where acceleration, braking and aerodynamic grip are important.
Its inclusion also gives players access to one of Ferrari’s newest flagship models without needing to unlock it through a limited seasonal event.
The Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider adds a rare classic
The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider represents the historical side of the pack.
Only 10 examples were reportedly built, making it considerably rarer than most production Ferraris. It was created as a successor to the 250 California Spider following a request from Ferrari’s North American importer.
The car combines an open roof design with the mechanical foundation of the 275 GTB4. Its value comes from rarity, design and connection to Ferrari’s grand touring history rather than modern performance figures.
Classic vehicles often provide a different driving experience in Forza Horizon. They usually demand more careful throttle and steering inputs because they lack the electronic assistance and aerodynamic grip of current supercars.
The 275 GTB4 Spider should therefore offer a slower but more characterful alternative to the F80.
Alfa Romeo contributes a modern road car and a racing prototype
The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm is a more extreme version of the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Alfa Romeo removed the rear seats and replaced them with a roll cage, while the V6 engine was upgraded to produce 533 horsepower. The car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
Its aerodynamic package was developed with help from Sauber, and Formula 1 champion Kimi Räikkönen contributed to its final setup.
The Giulia GTAm remains road legal, but its lighter interior and track focused engineering make it more specialised than the standard model.
The 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP is even more focused. It was developed for Group C racing as a proposed replacement for the Lancia LC2.
Its final specification used a Ferrari sourced 3.5 litre V12 producing around 680 horsepower. A carbon fibre monocoque and low aerodynamic body were designed to meet the demands of high speed endurance racing.
The car never became a successful competition programme, but it remains an interesting piece of Italian motorsport history.
Series 3 adds more Italian cars through gameplay
The paid pack is only one part of the Italian Exotics update.
Three additional cars will be available through the Festival Playlist over the following four weeks. These are the 2024 Lamborghini Temerario, 2022 Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder and 1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5.
The update also introduces an Italian Exotics takeover at the Horizon Stadium’s Aftermarket dealership. Wheelspin exclusive vehicles will appear there during the season.
Four more new to Horizon cars are planned for the Car Pass garage, while EventLab creators receive additional props for custom events.
A Tank Latte Cup collectible has also been added as part of the seasonal activities.
These rewards require participation in the Festival Playlist or ownership of the relevant Car Pass content, so they are separate from the Italian Passion Car Pack.
The update also fixes AI collisions and leaderboard exploits
Playground Games has included several technical and gameplay improvements with Series 3.
The update reduces excessive collisions caused by AI controlled cars when entering corners. This should make races feel fairer, especially when several opponents attempt to follow the same racing line.
The developer has also fixed glitches and exploits that allowed players to record unfair lap times.
Affected leaderboards have been reset to remove invalid results. Legitimate players may need to post new times if their entries were included in the reset.
The update contains other smaller changes, but the new cars and Italian themed Festival Playlist form its main content.
The Italian Passion Car Pack is now available on Xbox and PC. Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade owners receive it as part of their previous purchase, while other players can buy it separately for £4.99 or $4.99.
