Overview
2022 Maserati MC20 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 MC20 replaced the MC12 as Maserati's halo supercar with a 621 hp twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 (Nettuno) developed in-house, featuring a pre-chamber combustion system borrowed from F1. The carbon-fibre monocoque, butterfly doors and 50:50 weight distribution placed it directly against the McLaren GT and Ferrari F8. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2022 Maserati 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
MC20 is Maserati's first true mid-engined supercar since the MC12 — 3.0 Nettuno twin-turbo V6 making 621hp through an eight-speed dual-clutch. In S1-class events on Japan's mountain routes the MC20 is noticeably more refined than the MC12 it succeeds; the Nettuno engine pioneers Maserati's pre-chamber combustion technology, derived from F1.
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 2022 Maserati MC20
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.
