Overview
2020 Lotus Evija appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a R Class (track-focused) 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 Evija was Lotus's first all-electric hypercar and the brand's first new model under Geely ownership, with four electric motors producing a combined 1,973 hp. Only 130 units were planned, each priced at over £2 million, and the production version finally entered customer hands in late 2024. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2020 Lotus entry sits in the R Class (track-focused) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same R Class (track-focused) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2019 Apollo Intensa Emozione and 2019 Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car, which is the R Class (track-focused) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Evija is Lotus's first hypercar and first electric production car — four motors making 2,011hp combined through a 70kWh battery. Around 130 were built. In R-class events on Japan's longer routes the Evija's combined power output is the highest of any production car at launch; the chassis is the most active-aero-equipped Lotus ever built.
Where it shines
R class is at home on the dedicated road circuits and any event where downforce, tire heat and brake bias can be used. Avoid running R class on tight street routes where the car cannot stretch.
Tuning starting point
R class needs an aero-first mindset. Set differentials around how aggressively you trail-brake, and rotate compounds based on the track surface. 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 2020 Lotus Evija
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.
