What Is the Italian Aftermarket?
The Italian Aftermarket is a limited-time dealership takeover introduced with the Italian Exotics update (Series 3) for Forza Horizon 6. It temporarily transforms the usual Motoki Auto Garage—which normally sells used "aftermarket cars" at modest discounts—into an "Italian Exotics" branded showroom.
This is a fresh concept for the Horizon series. The Aftermarket dealership offers pre-owned vehicles that may have aftermarket parts equipped, sold at discounted prices. But for this special event, something far more valuable is happening: cars that were previously only available through Wheelspins can now be purchased directly.
Event Window: The takeover is tied to the Italian Exotics theme and runs as a special event during Series 3 from July 16 to August 13, 2026.
Where Is the Italian Aftermarket Located?
The Italian Aftermarket dealership is located at the Motoki Auto Garage near the Horizon Stadium in the Shimanoyama Region, on the road northeast of the stadium.
🏎️ The Stadium Maze Shortcut
Do NOT fast travel directly to the Horizon Stadium marker—this drops you inside the stadium infrastructure, forcing you to navigate a frustrating interior maze. Instead, use this path:
Open your map and look just northeast of the main Stadium icon.
Fast travel directly to the Shimanoyama Circuit Parking Lot or the Shimanoyama Charge Street Racing event pin.
Both of these drop points spawn your car right across the street from the Motoki shop, bypassing the interior stadium entirely.
How Does the Italian Aftermarket Work?
The Aftermarket works like a used car lot rather than the traditional Autoshow catalog. The Motoki Auto Garage maintains its core mechanic of serving up a rotating trio of vehicles at any given time. The Series 3 update simply adds 6 rare Wheelspin-exclusive cars into the pool of potential spawns.
| Metric | Italian Aftermarket Rule |
|---|---|
| Availability | Limited-time event (Ends August 13, 2026) |
| Inventory Type | Dynamic spawn pool (Rotates 3 cars at a time) |
| Currency Used | Standard in-game Credits |
| Map Location | Northeast of Horizon Stadium (Shimanoyama Region) |
| RNG Required? | None—bypasses Wheelspins entirely when spawned |
If you open the shop and don't see the Ferrari 599XX Evolution or the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, it just means those specific cars haven't spawned in your current shop rotation yet. Check back regularly.
Every Rare Wheelspin Car Available
The following six cars—normally locked behind Wheelspin RNG—have been added to the Aftermarket's spawn pool for the duration of the event:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ferrari 288 GTO (1984) – Classic collector's piece and iconic 80s supercar. Hard to find in Wheelspins and a must-have for Ferrari enthusiasts.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ferrari 599XX Evolution (2012) – Absolute top priority. One of the highest top-speed cars in FH6 that completely dominates Rivals leaderboards. If you can only afford one car, this is the one.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ferrari F8 Tributo (2019) – Solid all-rounder for modern performance. Balanced handling and speed, but less meta-defining than the 599XX.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (2011) – Essential pick. Extreme handling and grip powerhouse, making it a technical road race meta king. Its carbon-fiber construction and razor-sharp cornering make it unbeatable on tight circuits and speed zones.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lamborghini Diablo GTR (1999) – Iconic 90s race-spec Lamborghini that is incredibly hard to find via standard Wheelspins. A strong choice for collectors.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2012) – Great V12 exhaust note and modern Lamborghini styling, but lower priority if you are strapped for Credits.
Pro-Tip: The Force Refresh Strategy
You can technically force the shop inventory to refresh by purchasing the currently displayed vehicle, restarting your game, and driving back to the lot. However, use this tactic with extreme caution.
✅ Only use the purchase-refresh method if the current car on the lot is dirt cheap (under 50,000 Credits).
✅ Save your core capital for the S-Tier drops (599XX Evolution, Sesto Elemento).
❌ Avoid buying expensive cars just to force a refresh—you'll waste Credits you need for the rare Wheelspin cars.
Alternative: Simply check back after a few hours of standard gameplay. The natural rotation will happen without spending unnecessary Credits. If you're on a tight budget (under 2 million Credits), buying up junk cars just to force a reroll will quickly wipe out your bankroll.
Best Credit Strategy
Because the Aftermarket applies randomized discount percentages based on the "used car condition" roll, target your buying power wisely:
| Budget | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Under 2M Credits | Buy exactly one car—prioritize the Ferrari 599XX Evolution or Sesto Elemento the second they roll into rotation. Use the force refresh method ONLY if the current car is cheap. |
| 2M–5M Credits | Secure your meta staples first (599XX, Sesto Elemento), then grab your favorite classic collector car (288 GTO or Diablo GTR). |
| 5M+ Credits | Buy all six. These cars will likely face heavy Auction House price inflation the second Series 3 ends on August 13. |
| 20M+ Credits | Complete your collection and dominate the Auction House resale market after the event ends. |
Pro tip: Save Credits by completing Festival Playlist events and selling duplicate cars at the Auction House before buying from the Aftermarket.
Hidden Things the Game Doesn't Tell You
🎰 Wheelspin Cars No Longer Require RNG
This is the biggest change. Normally, the Ferrari 599XX Evolution, Sesto Elemento, and other listed cars can only be obtained through Wheelspins. The Aftermarket event bypasses this entirely—if you can find them in the rotation.
📈 Auction House Values May Shift
When rare cars become easier to obtain—even temporarily—their Auction House prices often drop. Conversely, after the event ends, prices may surge as supply dries up. Smart players are buying now to resell later.
⏳ Limited-Time Availability
The Italian Exotics event runs through August 13, 2026. Once it's over, the Wheelspin-exclusive cars may become rare again. Don't miss this window.
🏪 Aftermarket vs. Autoshow
The Aftermarket is a separate system from the Autoshow. You can't buy these Wheelspin cars at the regular dealerships.
🎁 Premium Car Pack is Separate
The Italian Passion Car Pack cars (Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP) are separate from the Aftermarket inventory. You don't need the Premium Edition to access the Aftermarket cars—though Premium Edition owners do get the separate Italian Passion Car Pack automatically.
💰 Dynamic Discount Ranges
The Aftermarket garage applies randomized, modest discount percentages to the vehicles it spawns. The credit price tag for a car like the Ferrari F8 Tributo might vary slightly from player to player depending on the specific "used car condition" roll it generated upon spawning.
🗺️ Fast Travel Shortcuts
Skip the Horizon Stadium interior maze entirely. Fast travel to the Shimanoyama Circuit Parking Lot or the Shimanoyama Charge Street Racing event pin to land directly across the street from the Motoki shop.
Community Questions Answered
Is the Italian Aftermarket permanent?
No. It's a limited-time event tied to the Italian Exotics series. It will end when Series 3 concludes on August 13, 2026.
How does inventory rotation work?
The Motoki Auto Garage offers a rotating selection of vehicles. The six rare Wheelspin cars are part of the spawn pool but not all available at once. Only three cars appear at any given time.
Can I buy every rare car?
Yes—eventually. If you check the dealership regularly, all six cars should appear in rotation at some point during the event.
Are these cheaper than the Auction House?
Often yes. The Aftermarket prices are already discounted compared to typical Autoshow prices. Auction House prices for these cars may surge when the event ends.
Do I need Premium Edition?
No. The Aftermarket is available to all players, regardless of edition. Premium Edition owners do receive the separate Italian Passion Car Pack automatically, but that's a different set of cars.
Will these cars return after Series 3?
Unknown. They may return in future events, but there's no guarantee. Playground Games frequently rotates exclusive cars.
Are discounts the same for every player?
The discount range is consistent, but the exact discount percentage may vary slightly due to the randomized "used car condition" system.
How can I force a refresh safely?
Purchase the current car at the Aftermarket only if it's cheap (under 50,000 Credits), restart your game, and check the spot again—this can trigger a new spawn. Avoid wasting Credits on expensive refreshes.
What's the fastest way to reach the Aftermarket?
Fast travel to the Shimanoyama Circuit Parking Lot or the Shimanoyama Charge Street Racing event pin—both put you directly across the street from the Motoki shop.
Is the Sesto Elemento good off-road?
No. While it's an absolute legendary handling machine for asphalt, the Sesto Elemento is a pure carbon-fiber track toy with almost zero ground clearance. Taking it off-road is essentially a meme rather than meta. Stick to tight technical road circuits and speed zones where its grip shines.
Final Verdict
Who should buy: If you have 2M+ Credits and want to add ultra-rare cars to your garage without relying on Wheelspin luck, buy now when they appear in rotation. The Ferrari 599XX Evolution and Lamborghini Sesto Elemento are top priorities for competitive racing.
Who should wait: If you have under 2M Credits or only care about Festival Playlist rewards, save your Credits. You can still earn the 2024 Lamborghini Temerario, 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB, and other cars through the Festival Playlist instead.
Who benefits most: Collectors and competitive road racers who want to dominate Rivals leaderboards or complete their car collection. The 599XX Evolution dominates speed tracks, while the Sesto Elemento is king of technical circuits.
🏆 Bottom line: The Italian Aftermarket is a rare opportunity. Check back regularly for rotation changes, and don't miss your chance to grab these Wheelspin-exclusive cars. Remember to use the force refresh trick wisely—only spend Credits on cheap cars to preserve your budget for S-Tier drops. Skip the Horizon Stadium maze by fast traveling to the Shimanoyama Circuit Parking Lot instead.
