Overview
1994 Honda Prelude Si appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a C Class (mid-pack improver) 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 fourth-generation Prelude (BB4) launched in 1991 with the H23A1 2.3-litre inline-four; by 1994 the Si trim sat below the VTEC and SR-V trims with 160hp from the 2.3 non-VTEC four. The fourth generation kept the four-wheel-steer option of the third generation and was assembled at Honda's Sayama plant in Saitama through to 1996. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1994 Honda entry sits in the C Class (mid-pack improver) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same C Class (mid-pack improver) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2001 Acura Integra Type R and 2002 Acura RSX Type S, which is the C Class (mid-pack improver) 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
Fourth-generation Prelude (BB4) Si trim uses the 2.3 H23A1 inline-four making 160hp through a five-speed manual. In C-class events on Japan's mountain routes the long wheelbase and front-drive layout make it stable but not playful; the chassis is more grand-tourer than sports car. Best on faster, sweeping routes.
Where it shines
C class fits most early Festival progression, beginner-friendly online cruises and any event where you want to refine racing line without the speed punishing you.
Tuning starting point
Aim for a tune that prioritises mid-corner grip first, then a moderate gear-ratio change for the typical road event speed. A community tune is usually enough.
How to get 1994 Honda Prelude Si
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.
