Overview
1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR 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 Evo III ran the 4G63T at 270 hp with reduced turbo lag, a larger intercooler and aggressive front splitter and rear wing. It won Mitsubishi the 1996 World Rally Championship constructors' title with Tommi Mäkinen at the wheel and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Evos. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1995 Mitsubishi 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
Evo III GSR was the first Mitsubishi rally homologation widely sold outside Japan. 4G63T 2.0 turbocharged inline-four making 270hp through a five-speed manual and full-time AWD. In B-class events on Forza's mixed surfaces the Evo III set the template for the Lancer Evolution formula; the AWD layout and short wheelbase reward aggressive throttle inputs.
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 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR
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.
