Forza Horizon 6: These cars offer special driving modes and extra features

The cars in Forza Horizon 6 (here in Notebookcheck’s benchmark test) are not only based on real-world performance figures. Some also include driving modes or extra features inspired by their real-life counterparts. However, the game does not clearly explain which vehicles have these functions or how to activate them. Players are uncovering them bit by bit, and Reddit users are currently compiling the relevant cars.

The features can generally be divided into visual functions and driving-dynamics features. One frequently mentioned example is the Mercedes-AMG One. The hypercar prototype can switch between Highway and Track Mode, visibly changing its aerodynamic elements and reportedly affecting handling as well. The Ferrari Portofino does not offer such driving-related functions, but it does have a convertible roof that can be opened and closed at the push of a button.

Players have also discovered other driving programs in FH6 (Xbox version currently around $70 on Amazon). The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, for example, features a Drift Mode that adjusts power distribution to make controlled drifts easier. The Gordon Murray T.50 is said to offer several aerodynamic modes designed either for maximum top speed or increased downforce, depending on the situation.

These extras are usually activated via the special function button, which is assigned to G on PC or L3 on a controller by default. What exactly happens depends on the car. A list of vehicles with special modes discovered by players so far is provided below:
