Ferrari J50 in Forza Horizon 6: What You Need to Know

Forza Horizon 6, scheduled to release on May 19, 2026, is bringing some exciting new content, including the 2017 Ferrari J50. This car holds a special place in the game, as it’s a tribute to 50 years of Ferrari’s presence in Japan. Given that the game is set in Japan, the Ferrari J50 fits perfectly into the theme, and it serves as the primary pre-order bonus for players who want to get their hands on this rare, high-performance machine at launch.

How to Get the Ferrari J50

If you want to drive the Ferrari J50 right from the start of Forza Horizon 6, you’ll need to pre-order the game before its release date. Here’s how you can get it:

Pre-Order Any Edition: Whether you choose the Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Edition of Forza Horizon 6, pre-ordering before May 19 will grant you access to the Ferrari J50.

Premium Upgrade: If you’re playing through Xbox Game Pass, you can still unlock the car by purchasing the Premium Upgrade before the launch date.

Redemption: Once the game launches, you can redeem the J50 from the in-game Autoshow. It’ll be available as a special pre-tuned version for those who pre-order.

Special Variant: Pre-Tuned Ferrari J50

While the Ferrari J50 will be available to all players after launch, the pre-order version is special. The pre-order J50 comes "pre-tuned," meaning it’ll have performance upgrades right off the bat, making it a step ahead of the stock version that will be available to other players later. This gives pre-order players an edge when jumping into the game.

Car Specifications & Performance

The Ferrari J50 is a mid-engined roadster based on the Ferrari 488 Spider, and it’s packed with power. Here’s what you can expect from its performance:

Engine: 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8.

Output: Around 681–690 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque.

Acceleration: From 0 to 60 mph in just about 2.9 seconds.

Top Speed: Over 200 mph (323+ km/h), making it a true high-speed machine.

Design: It boasts a unique "helmet visor" windshield and styling cues inspired by Ferrari’s iconic F40 and F50, giving it a distinct look that stands out.
