Overview
2015 Formula Drift #13 Ford Mustang appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a S1 Class (supercar tier) 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 2015 Formula Drift #13 Ford Mustang, driven by professional drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr., marked a significant return of the Mustang to the drifting scene with its aggressive styling and robust V8 power. This model emphasized Ford’s dedication to motorsport as well as the evolving culture around American muscle cars. Its combination of heritage and modern performance made it a notable competitor in Formula Drift. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2015 Formula Drift entry sits in the S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2022 Acura NSX Type S and 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, which is the S1 Class (supercar tier) peer group this car is usually weighed against. The drift tag on this specific entry signals it is one of the roster's sliding-friendly cars, which usually means a rear-drive layout and tuning headroom on toe and differential.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
S550 Mustang drift car runs the 5.0 Coyote V8 with forced induction, an angle kit and a Sadev sequential gearbox. In S1-class events on Forza's mountain routes the long wheelbase and rear-drive layout make it stable at high drift speeds; the V8 mid-range torque keeps the rear tyres lit through long drift lines.
Where it shines
S1 class fits faster road events, longer point-to-points and online cruise lobbies focused on supercar showcases.
Tuning starting point
Tunes here often balance launch grip vs top-end. If you mostly run open road events, prefer a tune with steadier mid-throttle response over absolute V-max. Rear-wheel-drive cars want a softer rear and careful throttle on corner exit; pay attention to rear tire pressure especially on long Japan map straights.
How to get 2015 Formula Drift #13 Ford Mustang
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.
