Overview
2017 Ferrari J50 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 J50 was a coachbuilt Ferrari built to celebrate Ferrari's 50th anniversary in Japan, based on the 488 Spider but with completely re-skinned bodywork. Only 10 units were made, each individually configured for Japanese collectors, and the targa roof and aggressive aero ducts gave it a unique identity inside the modern Ferrari lineup. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2017 Ferrari 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
J50 was a one-off-style limited edition built for the Japanese market — only ten units, 488-based with bespoke targa bodywork by Centro Stile Ferrari. In S1-class events on Japan's mountain routes the chassis behaviour matches the 488 GTB it is based on; the appeal is the bespoke status and the Japan-exclusive launch.
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 2017 Ferrari J50
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.
