Seven out of ten cars in Forza Horizon 6‘s second series are ones you’ve already driven — in Forza Horizon 5. That’s not laziness on Playground Games’ part: it’s a deliberate move to build seasonal content around nostalgia and fan-favourite vehicles. And alongside the returning cars comes a mode many players have been waiting for since launch.
On June 18, Forza Horizon 6 kicked off its second series, officially titled Horizon Decades. It’s structured as four back-to-back weekly seasons, each lasting exactly seven days — bringing its own set of challenges, points, and free cars to add to your garage.

How the Points System Works in Forza Horizon 6 Series 2
The mechanics are straightforward, but they reward consistent play. Complete challenges, earn points. Hit the required threshold for a specific car, and it’s yours — no additional cost, no Auction House grind.
The key thing to understand: every car is locked to a specific time window. Miss your week and that vehicle disappears with the season. Some cars are available for the full series run through July 16, while others exist for just seven days. Knowing the schedule ahead of time is the difference between a full garage and regret.
All Cars in Horizon Decades Series 2 — Full Table with Points and Dates
| Car | Points Required | Availability Window |
|---|---|---|
| 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf | 20 | June 18–25 |
| 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV | 40 | June 18–25 |
| 1998 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 | 20 | June 25 – July 2 |
| 1993 Schuppan 962CR | 40 | June 25 – July 2 |
| 2006 Dodge Ram SRT-10 | 20 | July 2–9 |
| 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning | 40 | July 2–9 |
| 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R | 20 | July 9–16 |
| 2017 Saleen S7 LM | 40 | July 9–16 |
| 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau | 80 | June 18 – July 16 |
| 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 | 160 | June 18 – July 16 |
The two headline prizes — the Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau and the Lotus Exige Cup 430 — cost 80 and 160 points respectively, but you have the entire month to earn them. Every other car in the series is tied to a single week, so plan accordingly.
Which Cars Are New and Which Carry Over from Forza Horizon 5
Seven of the ten vehicles in Series 2 previously appeared in Forza Horizon 5 — including the Porsche, Lotus, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, TVR, Schuppan, and Dodge Ram. The Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, Mercedes-AMG GT R, and Saleen S7 LM are the fresh additions to the FH6 roster.
That said, “returning” doesn’t mean uninteresting. The Schuppan 962CR is one of the most extreme hypercars of the ’90s, built around a racing Porsche 962 chassis. The TVR Cerbera Speed 12 is the stuff of legend — a car so violent that TVR themselves refused to put it into production. These are vehicles that earn cult status in any racing game.
The Trial Returns — 6v6 Co-op Racing Is Back in Forza Horizon 6
The biggest community news from Series 2 is the return of The Trial — the fan-favourite 6v6 co-op racing format. Two teams compete across a series of races, with the win going to whichever side accumulates more combined points by the end of the session. It’s one of the most social and high-stakes modes the Horizon series has ever offered.
Who Can Access The Trial in Series 2
There’s a catch: The Trial is locked behind the Horizon Legends status — the gold bracelet tier in FH6. If you’re still working your way up through the reputation ranks, you won’t be able to jump into co-op races just yet.
It’s a debatable call. On one hand, locking competitive co-op behind a progression gate keeps less experienced players from frustrating veteran teams. On the other, many fans see it as an artificial wall blocking content that was open to everyone in previous entries in the series.

What the “Decades” Theme Actually Means for Series Content
The Horizon Decades name suggests each of the four seasons is themed around a specific era of car culture. That’s why you get the 1988 Lamborghini Countach sitting alongside the 2017 Saleen S7 LM in the same series — different decades, different ideas of what speed looks like, different philosophies behind the wheel.
It’s a smart editorial angle from Playground Games. Rather than just dropping cars into a rotation, they’re building a seasonal narrative around automotive history. Whether that theme carries through into the actual challenge design and in-game descriptions — or whether it’s mostly a branding exercise — is something only the full four weeks will reveal.
Series 2 of Forza Horizon 6 is built around a tight rhythm: four weeks, ten cars, and one long-awaited co-op comeback. Horizon Decades feels like Playground Games’ attempt to give players a reason to log in every single week — ideally with a team of six. The real question now is whether the “decades” concept goes deeper than the name, or whether Series 3 will need to carry that weight. Either way, the calendar is set. Don’t miss your week.
