The Mazda Furai is unlocked in Forza Horizon 6 by earning 60 points on the Series 1 “Welcome to Japan” Festival Playlist between May 21 and June 18, 2026. It is a Series milestone reward, so points earned across all four seasons of Series 1 stack toward the unlock.
This guide covers both unlock methods, the exact points each playlist challenge is worth, Furai’s FH6 stats, and how it performs across S2, R, and X-Class once it is in the garage.
Mazda Furai Quick Facts
Class: R 926 (Extreme Track Toys, Legendary). Top Speed: 190.0 mph (305.7 km/h). 0-60 mph: 3.1 seconds. Value: 353,000 CR. Unlock: 60 PTS on the Series 1 Festival Playlist.
How to Unlock the Mazda Furai
The Mazda Furai is flagged as a Hard-to-Find car in Forza Horizon 6, meaning it does not appear in the standard car dealer rotation. There are exactly two legitimate ways to own it: the Series 1 Festival Playlist or the Auction House.
Festival Playlist Method (60 PTS)
Open the Festival Playlist menu from the main pause screen and select Series 1: Welcome to Japan. The Mazda Furai sits behind the 60-point Series milestone, with the Nissan 370Z sitting at the higher 120-point milestone.
Each season inside Series 1 offers around 45 points, and the Series runs across four seasons in total. That means players only need to clear roughly 60 percent of the available challenges to claim the Furai, leaving plenty of room to skip events that are not fun.
Series 1 ends on June 18, 2026. After that date, the Furai is no longer available through the Festival Playlist and must be sourced from the Auction House.
Auction House Method
Players who miss the Series 1 window can still buy the Mazda Furai legitimately through the Auction House. Open the Auction House, search the manufacturer field for “Mazda,” then filter by “Furai.” Refresh the listings until a seller posts one.
Auction House prices typically settle in the millions of credits because the Furai is a Legendary-rarity Extreme Track Toy. Buying through the Auction House is fully sanctioned by the developers and is not a bannable offense, since the developers chose not to lock the Furai from trading, unlike certain other event exclusives.
Modifying save files to inject the Furai into a garage is a bannable offense. Stick to the Festival Playlist or the Auction House to keep the account safe.
Series 1 Festival Playlist Point Breakdown
Every Festival Playlist activity rewards a fixed number of points, and players can stack progress across all four seasons. Knowing which events give the most points helps players hit 60 with the least time investment. You can unlock the furai only by making progress in at least 2 series, and progress is time-gated per week. Series 2 is the first Series in which players can unlock the furai.
| Activity | Points | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seasonal Championships | 5 pts each | Highest yield | Three-race events |
| Treasure Chest Hunts | 3 pts | Riddle-based | Repeatable map search |
| Photo Challenges | 2 pts | Quick to clear | Photo mode submission |
| Season Reward Milestone | 15 pts | Toyota Altezza | Per-season bonus car |
The fastest route is to clear every Seasonal Championship first, since they award 5 points each and usually require driving cars the player likely already owns. Treasure chest hunts come next at 3 points apiece, with photo challenges and weekly events filling the gaps.
Test Drive Available Now
The Festival Playlist hub at the Horizon site has a podium that lets players test drive the Mazda Furai for 3 minutes anywhere in the open world before unlocking it. There is also a repeatable ghost rivals challenge inside the playlist that lets players race a Furai against ghosted opponents.
Mazda Furai Stats and Performance in FH6
The 2008 Mazda Furai enters Forza Horizon 6 at stock class R 926 with category-leading braking and handling numbers. It is built for technical roads and circuits, not flat-out top-speed runs, although it still reaches 190.0 mph (305.7 km/h) without any tuning.
Performance Numbers
The Furai pulls 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and 0-100 mph in 5.566 seconds, both numbers in line with FH6’s other Extreme Track Toys. Its braking is the standout figure, stopping from 60 mph in just 63.6 feet (19.4 m).
| Value | |
|---|---|
| Top Speed | 190.0 mph (305.7 km/h) |
| 0-60 mph | 3.100 seconds |
| 0-100 mph | 5.566 seconds |
| 60-0 mph Braking | 63.6 ft (19.4 m) |
| 100-0 mph Braking | 136.6 ft (41.6 m) |
| Lateral G at 60 mph | 1.91 g |
| Lateral G at 120 mph | 2.73 g |
| Mechanical Balance | 0.58 |
| Aero Balance | 0.39 |
| Aero Efficiency | 0.829 |
The Furai’s 2.73 lateral G at 120 mph is the headline figure for circuit racers. Combined with full 100 braking and 9.6 handling, the car is one of the most planted machines in the FH6 garage at stock tune.
Best Class Builds for the Mazda Furai
The Furai is competitive in S2, R, and X-Class, but the build paths differ significantly among them. S2 favors a grippy all-wheel-drive handling setup, R-Class keeps the stock rear-wheel-drive layout for raw speed, and X-Class doubles down on aero with super-slicks.
| Drive Train | Tires | Differential | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S2 Class (900) | AWD Swap | Race Slicks | Drift Diff |
| R Class (926) | Stock RWD | Rally Tires | Stock Diff |
| X Class | AWD Swap | Super Slicks | Drift Diff |
S2-Class Handling Build
The S2 build leans into grip and consistency. Apply the all-wheel-drive conversion (which drops 11 PI), fit race slicks, install lighter rims, and increase rear track width. The drivetrain swap means the drift differential becomes the correct choice.
Run tire pressure at 29.5 front and 29 rear, anti-roll bars at 165, and full front downforce with a small rear downforce bump. The result is a tarmac-glued S2 900 car that still reaches over 300 km/h on long straights.
R-Class Speed Build
The R-Class keeps the Furai’s factory rear-wheel-drive layout. Remove the restrictor plate to boost power to around 1,000 hp, fit rally tires, and widen both the front and rear tires for high-speed downforce in turns.
Drop tire pressure to 24 front and 23.5 rear, set anti-roll bars to 30 front and 65 rear for stability, and max out front and rear downforce. The differential should run 55 percent acceleration and 5 percent deceleration. The car pushes past 350 km/h and chews through hypercars on circuits.
The R-Class build is brutal without traction control. The rear end will step out aggressively in second and third gear, so patience and clean throttle inputs are mandatory.
X-Class All-Round Build
X-Class uses the AWD conversion and SUPER slicks (not standard race slicks) for the full Extreme Track Toy treatment. Apply the widest front and rear tire widths, lightest rims, race drive line, and the drift differential.
Settings mirror the S2 build at 29.5 front and 29 rear tire pressure, anti-roll bars at 165, and a longer final drive for X-Class top speed. The Mazda 787B is still marginally faster in pure X-Class circuit duty, but the Furai is one of the strongest all-rounders for Speed Zones and Drift Zones.
About the Mazda Furai
The Mazda Furai was a 2008 concept car and the final entry in Mazda’s Nagare design line. The name means “sound of the wind,” and it was unique among Mazda concept cars because it was fully functional and tested at real circuits, including Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
It used a chassis based on the Courage Compétition C65 LMP race car, paired with a heavily modified 2.0L 3-rotor rotary engine called the R20B RENESIS. That engine produced 466 hp on E100 ethanol, driving through a 6-speed X-trac semi-automatic transmission to the rear wheels.
The Furai wore the number 55, matching the 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B. Only one was ever built, and it was destroyed in a fire during Top Gear’s road tests in 2008, six months after its public reveal. Forza Horizon 6 brings the car back to open-world driving for the first time since its early appearances in Forza Motorsport.
Real-World Specs
Engine: 2.0L 3-rotor rotary (R20B RENESIS). Power: 466 hp on E100 ethanol. Weight: 1,940 lb (880 kg). Power-to-weight: 530 hp per tonne. Layout: mid-engine, rear-wheel drive.
