Overview
1993 Autozam AZ-1 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 1993 Autozam AZ-1 stands out in automotive history as a unique kei car featuring butterfly doors and a mid-engine layout. Powered by a turbocharged 657cc engine, it offered spirited performance in a compact design that captured the essence of Japanese automotive innovation. It gained a cult following for its quirky aesthetic and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1993 Autozam 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 1980 Abarth Fiat 131 and 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, which is the D Class (entry-level pace) 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
AZ-1 is a kei-class mid-engined coupe with gullwing doors and a 657cc Suzuki F6A turbo three. In D-class events on tight Japanese mountain routes the mid-engine layout pays — turn-in is quicker than almost anything else in the class. The trade-off is straight-line top speed, capped by the kei power limit.
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. Front-wheel-drive cars want stiffer rear sway and careful weight transfer on entry to keep the front planted under throttle.
How to get 1993 Autozam AZ-1
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.
