Overview
1993 Jaguar XJ220 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
The XJ220 was briefly the fastest production car in the world at 217 mph, despite controversially using a 542 hp twin-turbo V6 instead of the V12 originally promised in concept. Pininfarina-styled long-tail body, scissor-style doors and a 1980s-supercar attitude have rebuilt its reputation in the decades since as Jaguar's forgotten hypercar. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 1993 Jaguar 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 2008 BMW M3, which is the A Class (sharp performance) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
XJ220 used a 3.5 twin-turbo V6 making 542hp — controversial because Jaguar originally promised a V12. In A-class events on Japan's longer straight-heavy routes the XJ220 still holds the production-car top-speed crown for the early-1990s era (358km/h record at Nardo in 1992); the chassis tune is more grand-tourer than circuit-focused.
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 1993 Jaguar XJ220
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.
