Overview
2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo 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 final year R35 NISMO retained the hand-built 3.8-litre twin-turbo VR38 and added a new rear wing and lighter Rays wheels. After eighteen model years, the R35 left production as the longest-running GT-R generation, with Nissan confirming a hybrid replacement is in development under the Hyper Force concept. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2024 Nissan 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. The JDM tag fits the wider Japanese setting of Forza Horizon 6, where this make tends to be a focal point of cruise lobbies and theme nights.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Final-year R35 NISMO retains the hand-built 3.8-litre twin-turbo VR38DETT and adds a new rear wing and lighter Rays wheels. In S1-class events on Japan's longer routes the 2024 NISMO closes out 18 model years of R35 production; Nissan has confirmed the Hyper Force hybrid concept as the technology basis for the next GT-R.
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 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo
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.
