The 2025 Toyota GR GT Prototype is the star car of Forza Horizon 6, hitting Japanese roads when the game launches on May 19, 2026. Dubbed a “road-legal race car,” the GR GT is your first taste of high-octane speed in the game, starring in the prologue where you race a Shinkansen bullet train through the twisting Japanese Alps.
Performance & Handling In-Game
The GR GT feels like a car built by engineers who cared about every detail. It’s fast, precise, and incredibly fun to drive, whether you’re carving through tight mountain passes or unleashing it on open highways.

• Weight Distribution: With a “back-weighted” 45/55 front/rear balance, the car has a front-mid-engine character that makes it predictable yet thrilling in turns.
• Powertrain Simulation: The game faithfully reproduces its hybrid 4.0L twin-turbo V8, using real engine sounds and dynamic throttle response to give you that authentic roar.
• Handling: Thanks to a low center of gravity and stiff chassis, the car feels glued to the road. Cornering on Japan’s technical touge roads feels like a real dance with the car—you can feel every micro-adjustment you make.

Technical Specifications
Here’s what the GR GT brings to the table in Forza Horizon 6 Edition:

• Engine: 4.0L Twin-Turbocharged V8 Hybrid
• Power: 642 hp (479 kW) / 650+ PS
• Torque: 627 ft·lb (850 N·m)
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic with “wet-start clutch”
• Weight: Under 1,750 kg
• Top Speed: ~320 km/h (199 mph)

These numbers translate into a car that’s blisteringly fast but also manageable, giving players a chance to master its limits without feeling like it’s uncontrollable.
Customization & Gameplay
Forza Horizon 6 really shines with how it lets you make the GR GT your own:

• Body Kits: The car supports widebody upgrades and factory-inspired tuner looks. You can go subtle or go full showstopper.
• Progression: The prologue gives you a taste of the GR GT, but you’ll have to climb the Festival ranks to truly earn it for long-term play.
• Achievements: Park your GR GT at an Open World Car Meet and you unlock a special in-game milestone, letting other players admire your ride.

The 2025 GR GT Prototype isn’t just a cover car—it’s a statement. It sets the tone for Forza Horizon 6, combining insane speed, jaw-dropping handling, and deep customization. Whether you’re a hardcore tuner enthusiast or just love racing through scenic mountain roads, this car delivers an unforgettable first impression and a thrilling gateway into the game.
