Overview
1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a C Class (mid-pack improver) 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
Introduced in 1969, the Ferrari Dino 246 GT is a tribute to company founder Enzo Ferrari's late son, Alfredo 'Dino' Ferrari. This model, with its 2.4-liter V6 engine, represented the shift towards more accessible sports cars. Its mid-engine layout and sleek design helped establish the Dino as a cultural icon, celebrated for its driving dynamics and beautiful craftsmanship. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1969 Ferrari entry sits in the C Class (mid-pack improver) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same C Class (mid-pack improver) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 1964 Aston Martin DB5 and 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo, which is the C Class (mid-pack improver) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
Dino 246 GT was Ferrari's first mid-engined road car, with a 2.4 V6 making 195hp through a five-speed manual. In C-class events on Japan's mountain routes the small V6 rewards keeping the engine in its top third; the mid-engined layout makes turn-in noticeably sharper than the front-engined Ferraris of the period.
Where it shines
C class fits most early Festival progression, beginner-friendly online cruises and any event where you want to refine racing line without the speed punishing you.
Tuning starting point
Aim for a tune that prioritises mid-corner grip first, then a moderate gear-ratio change for the typical road event speed. A community tune is usually enough.
How to get 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
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.
