Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The 2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance refined the supercar experience with its 5.2-liter V10 engine producing an exhilarating 620 horsepower. Key upgrades included enhanced aerodynamics and lightweight components, aiming for track-ready performance without compromising on luxury. This iteration further solidified the R8's standing in motorsport, as it was engineered to achieve top speeds while maintaining a comfortable ride for everyday driving. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2020 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
Performance trim of the second-generation R8 V10 takes the 5.2 naturally aspirated V10 to 620hp and adds magnetic ride suspension. In S1-class events on Japan's expressway routes it accelerates harder than the lap clock suggests because the all-wheel-drive launch is repeatable; on tighter routes it feels heavier than the mid-engine layout implies.
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 2020 Audi R8 V10 performance
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.
