Overview
2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG 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 2013 A 45 AMG was the most powerful production four-cylinder engine in the world at launch, with the M133 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four producing 355 hp. 4Matic all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox gave the small hatch genuine performance car cred. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2013 Mercedes-Benz 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 2016 Abarth 695 Biposto and 2015 Alumicraft Class 10 Race Car, which is the B Class (balanced sport) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
First-generation A 45 AMG used the M133 2.0 turbo four making 355hp through a seven-speed dual-clutch and 4MATIC AWD — the highest specific output of any production four-cylinder at launch. In B-class events on Japan's mountain routes the A 45 AMG's AWD layout makes wet-weather pace strong; the trade-off is a chassis tune some find too aseptic compared to rivals.
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 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG
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.
