Overview
1992 Mazda RX-7 Type R appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a B Class (balanced sport) 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 1992 RX-7 Type R was the third-generation FD3S RX-7, with a sequential twin-turbocharged 13B-REW rotary producing 252 hp in early Japanese-market spec (later raised to 276 hp). The lightweight body, double-wishbone suspension, and balanced 50:50 weight distribution made it one of the great driver's cars of the 90s. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1992 Mazda 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 1984 Audi Sport quattro and 2001 Audi RS 4 Avant, which is the B Class (balanced sport) peer group this car is usually weighed against. The JDM tag fits the wider Japanese setting of Forza Horizon 6, where this make tends to be a focal point of cruise lobbies and theme nights.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
FD3S RX-7 Type R was the JDM-market FD RX-7 — a 13B-REW twin-rotor wankel with sequential twin turbochargers making 255hp through a five-speed manual. In B-class events on Japan's mountain routes the FD's chassis balance is widely considered the best of any modern Japanese sports car; the twin-turbo's two-stage delivery gives it a distinctive on-throttle character.
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.
How to get 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type R
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.
