Overview
1964 Jaguar Lightweight E-Type appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a B Class (balanced sport) entry in the base roster. This page focuses on what the car actually means for everyday players: how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside Forza Horizon 6's Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which other roster entries it naturally compares against.
If you found this page while searching for a single Jaguar model in Forza Horizon 6, you are in the right place. Everything below is built around the official list fields (year, class, pack, manufacturer) plus plain-language player notes. We do not invent horsepower numbers, hidden upgrade paths, or unlock guarantees that the official list has not confirmed.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The Lightweight E-Type was a competition-spec E-Type built for privateer racing teams in 1963-64, with an aluminium monocoque, hardtop body, dry-sump 344 hp 3.8-litre inline-six, and ZF five-speed gearbox. Only 12 of the originally planned 18 chassis were built, and Jaguar later completed the remaining six as continuation cars in 2014. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1964 Jaguar entry sits in the B Class (balanced sport) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same B Class (balanced sport) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 and 1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, which is the B Class (balanced sport) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Lightweight E-Type was built in 12 units (with six more in 2014-2015 to original specifications) — aluminium body panels, dry-sump 3.8 XK inline-six, around 320hp. In B-class events on Japan's longer routes the lightweight body makes it the most circuit-oriented E-Type ever sold; on Forza's faster road events the chassis is approachable but old-school.
Where it shines
B class is one of the most popular brackets in the Forza community because cars feel quick but balanced. It works for Road racing, Street racing on shorter routes and most casual rivals.
Tuning starting point
Look for tunes that match how you brake. If you brake late, dial in slightly stiffer rear damping. If you trail-brake, soften the front anti-roll bar.
These are general starting points only, not a guaranteed competitive setup. Forza Horizon 6 community tunes that already have hundreds of downloads are usually a faster route than building from scratch, especially if you are not sure of the car's drivetrain or aero behaviour yet.
How to get 1964 Jaguar Lightweight E-Type
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.
