Overview
2016 Audi R8 V10 plus 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 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus showcased the brand's commitment to performance and luxury, featuring a powerful 5.2-liter V10 engine producing 610 horsepower. Its lightweight construction and advanced aerodynamics contributed to impressive handling, making it a competitive option in the supercar segment. This model also marked the transition to a more refined design language while still paying homage to the original R8's iconic silhouette. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2016 Audi 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.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Second-generation R8 V10 plus shares its modular sports car platform with the Huracán and uses the same 5.2 V10 making 610hp. In S1-class events it feels noticeably stiffer than the first R8 generation; the all-wheel-drive layout makes it less playful but very fast in mixed-condition road events.
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.
How to get 2016 Audi R8 V10 plus
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.
