Overview
2020 Jimco #179 Hammerhead Class 1 appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a A Class (sharp performance) 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
Jimco's Class 1 buggies are the top-tier unlimited open-wheel class in SCORE off-road racing, with mid-engine V8 power (typically LS-based), tube-frame construction and over 30 inches of rear wheel travel. The #179 Hammerhead is one of the marquee Class 1 entries in the Baja 500 and 1000. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2020 Jimco entry sits in the A Class (sharp performance) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same A Class (sharp performance) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C, which is the A Class (sharp performance) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Class 1 unlimited buggy with around 850hp V8 and 35 inches of suspension travel — purpose-built for desert dunes and washboard surfaces. In A-class events on Forza's mixed surfaces it absorbs jumps and surfaces that ruin almost anything else; on tarmac the soft springs and off-road tyres limit cornering speed dramatically.
Where it shines
A class is the sweet-spot bracket for many Horizon road events, especially mid-length point-to-points and Street race playlists.
Tuning starting point
A class rewards smarter aero and gearing. Test whether a top-speed gear or a corner-exit gear suits the events you actually run.
How to get 2020 Jimco #179 Hammerhead Class 1
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.
