Overview
2013 Audi R8 Coupé V10 plus 5.2 FSI quattro appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a A Class (sharp performance) 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 Audi 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 2013 R8 V10 Plus capped the first generation of Audi's mid-engined supercar with a 5.2-litre Lamborghini-derived V10 producing 542 hp. Carbon-ceramic brakes, magnetic ride dampers and a quattro driveline made it usable in any weather, while the side blade shoulders and full-LED headlights cemented the R8 as one of the cleanest supercar designs of the decade. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2013 Audi entry sits in the A Class (sharp performance) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same A Class (sharp performance) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C, which is the A Class (sharp performance) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
V10 plus adds a power bump to 542hp and stiffer suspension over the standard 2013 R8 V10. In A-class events it feels more flat-six than V10 in terms of weight distribution because of the engine's location ahead of the rear axle; the mid-engine layout pays dividends on tighter, twistier road routes.
Where it shines
A class is the sweet-spot bracket for many Horizon road events, especially mid-length point-to-points and Street race playlists.
Tuning starting point
A class rewards smarter aero and gearing. Test whether a top-speed gear or a corner-exit gear suits the events you actually run.
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 2013 Audi R8 Coupé V10 plus 5.2 FSI quattro
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.
