Overview
1962 Lincoln Continental appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a D Class (entry-level pace) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The 1961-1965 Continental was Lincoln's bold mid-century redesign with rear-hinged 'suicide doors,' integrated headlights and clean slab-side bodywork by Elwood Engel. The 1962 used a 300 hp 7.0-litre V8 and was the car JFK was riding in during the Dallas motorcade in November 1963. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1962 Lincoln entry sits in the D Class (entry-level pace) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same D Class (entry-level pace) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 1968 Abarth 595 esseesse and 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale, which is the D Class (entry-level pace) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
1962 Continental used the 7.0 MEL V8 making 300hp through a Turbo-Drive automatic — the famous suicide-door full-size sedan made memorable in 'Mad Men'. In D-class events on Japan's longer routes the Continental cruises rather than corners; the chassis is built for highway durability and limousine-class refinement, not lap-clock work.
Where it shines
Use D class entries for the lowest tier of road races, learning loops, scenic photo runs, and casual lobbies where players are picking starter cars.
Tuning starting point
Tuning at this tier is mostly about tire pressure, brake balance and gearing. A small differential adjustment can already change the car a lot.
How to get 1962 Lincoln Continental
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
