Choose by Your Goal
Not sure what you want? Answer the question that fits you best:
I want to win races
Our Pick
The ultimate all-rounder. Incredible grip, fast acceleration, and handles everything from circuits to mountain roads. If you only buy one car, make it this.
Alternatives:
I want to drift
Our Pick
The quintessential drift car. Rear-wheel drive, balanced weight distribution, and forgiving power delivery. Perfect for learning drift techniques.
Alternatives:
I want to cruise and explore Japan
Our Pick
The perfect touring car. Comfortable, great visibility, and an absolute joy on winding mountain roads. Not the fastest, but the most satisfying to drive casually.
Alternatives:
I want to race dirt/off-road
Our Pick
Rally-bred and incredible on dirt. The AWD system and high-revving engine make it a monster on loose surfaces.
Alternatives:
I'm on a tight budget (under $40k)
Our Pick
Best value in the game. Incredible handling, lightweight, and a joy to drive. Won't win drag races, but on mountain roads it competes with cars 3x its price.
Alternatives:
I want to look cool
Our Pick
The rarest car at launch. Only available to pre-order Ultimate Edition owners. Stunning design and top-tier performance.

When to Buy: Timing Tips
Best Days to Buy
- Tuesday-Wednesday: Auction House prices drop mid-week
- Friday-Saturday: Prices peak โ good time to sell
- Sunday: Some sellers discount to clear inventory before week
Priority: Upgrade Before Buying New
Many players make the mistake of constantly buying new cars instead of upgrading what they have. A fully upgraded $50k car will outperform a stock $150k car. Our upgrade priority:
- Tires (biggest handling improvement)
- Suspension (cornering stability)
- Engine (raw power)
- Transmission (acceleration)
- Aero (downforce for high-speed corners)
Car Classes Explained
FH6 uses a Performance Index (PI) system:
- D-Class (200-499): Stock vintage cars, beginner-friendly but slow
- C-Class (500-599): Moderate upgrades, good for early game
- B-Class (600-699): Sports cars, solid mid-game choice
- A-Class (700-799): High-performance sports, competitive racing
- S1-Class (800-899): Exotic supercars, advanced racing
- S2-Class (900-998): Hypercars and maxed builds, top-tier racing
- X-Class (999): Track-only prototypes and Formula cars
My Garage Strategy
Build a versatile garage instead of one "best" car. Recommended minimum garage:
- 1x A or S1 class road racer (e.g., Nissan Z, GR Supra)
- 1x Drift car (Silvia S15 or similar RWD)
- 1x Dirt/Off-road specialist (GR Yaris, WRX STI)
- 1x Fun cruiser (GR86, MX-5, or your favorite)
This gives you options for every race type and keeps gameplay fresh.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't buy at launch prices โ Some cars will be cheaper after launch events
- Don't skip the Auction House โ Same car can be 20-30% cheaper
- Don't underestimate cheap cars โ A fully upgraded MX-5 is terrifying on mountain roads
- Don't buy hypercars first โ You won't have the skill to handle S2 power
