Japan's terrain in Forza Horizon 6 is genuinely made for rally driving. Narrow mountain passes, loose gravel roads, forested trails, and unpredictable surface changes make it one of the best open-world maps the series has ever had for off-road racing. But not every car handles these conditions well. A great rally car needs to be light enough to change direction quickly, have AWD for consistent traction across surfaces, balanced weight distribution to avoid understeer or oversteer in loose conditions, and enough power that is controllable rather than overwhelming. Here are the best rally cars in Forza Horizon 6.

| Car | Class | Price | Drivetrain | Power | Weight | Handling | Offroad |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Subaru Impreza 22B-STi (1998) | B 600 | 86,000 CR | AWD | 276 hp | 2,800 lb | 4.9 | 5.7 |
 Toyota GR Yaris (2021) | B 558 | 54,000 CR | AWD | 257 hp | 2,888 lb | 5.1 | 5.6 |

 #4 Ford Focus RS (2001) | A 639 | 415,000 CR | AWD | 300 hp | 2,802 lb | 5.0 | 8.3 |
 Peugeot 207 Super 2000 (2007) | A 632 | 85,000 CR | AWD | 280 hp | 2,425 lb | 5.8 | 8.3 |
Subaru Impreza 22B-STi Version (1998)
- Class: B 600
- Price: 86,000 CR
- Offroad: 5.7
The Subaru Impreza 22B is one of the most iconic rally cars ever built, and it translates that reputation directly into Forza Horizon 6. At 276 hp through an AWD system with a 58% front weight bias, it strikes the ideal balance between power and control on loose surfaces. It is not the most powerful car on this list, but that actually works in its favor on technical mountain roads.
Toyota GR Yaris (2021)
- Class: B 558
- Price: 54,000 CR
- Offroad: 5.6
The GR Yaris is the lightest car on this list at 2,888 lb, and it shows the moment you start pushing it on dirt roads. Its handling stat of 5.1 is the highest among the B-class options here, and its 59% front weight distribution keeps it planted through fast corners without fighting you on the exit.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR (2004)
- Class: B 555
- Price: 30,000 CR
- Offroad: 6.0
The Lancer Evo VIII brings the most power of the B-class rally options at 305 hp, and its off-road stat of 6.0. The 60% front weight bias means it pushes into understeer if you are not deliberate about your inputs. At just 30,000 CR, it is by far the cheapest car on this list, making it an incredible entry point for rally racing without compromising on capability. If you are comfortable pushing a car to its limit, the Evo rewards that approach more than anything else at this price point.
#4 Ford Focus RS (2001)
- Class: A 639
- Price: 415,000 CR
- Offroad: 8.3
The Ford Focus RS rally car is in a different category from the other cars here. It comes stock on rally tires, sits in the dedicated Rally Monsters car type, and its launch stat of 9.6 is extraordinary, the highest by a significant margin on this list. That launch figure translates directly to how quickly it gets moving off the line on loose surfaces. Its off-road stat of 8.3 is the joint highest here, and its near perfect 52% front weight distribution makes it one of the most balanced cars available for mixed surface racing. The price of 415,000 CR is steep, but this is a purpose-built rally monster that justifies every credit.
Peugeot 207 Super 2000 (2007)
- Class: A 632
- Price: Pink Wristband Reward
- Offroad: 8.3
The Peugeot 207 Super 2000 is the lightest car on this list at just 2,425 lb, and it has the highest handling stat at 5.8, which makes it the most responsive option available. It also comes on rally tires from the factory and matches the Ford Focus RS with an off-road stat of 8.3. What sets it apart from the Focus is how it feels through fast direction changes. The low weight means it responds almost instantly to input corrections. The other notable thing about the Peugeot is how you get it. Rather than buying it outright, it is earned as a reward for completing the Pink Wristband event, which makes it one of the more satisfying cars to unlock in the game.

Which One Should You Pick
Start with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII if budget is a concern. At 30,000 CR, it is an exceptional value and capable enough to compete seriously in B-class rally events. The GR Yaris is the smarter pick if you want something more forgiving and easier to manage while still being competitive.
If you are specifically grinding off-road events at A class, the Peugeot 207 and Ford Focus RS are the two best options available. Both are worth having in your garage if rally racing is a serious part of how you play. For more guides, check out our Forza Horizon 6 wiki.
