Limited-Time Opportunity: Italian Aftermarket Dealership
The Italian Aftermarket is a limited-time takeover at the Motoki Auto Garage near Horizon Stadium in the Shimanoyama Region .
Availability: July 16 – August 13, 2026
The Hook: Six normally Wheelspin-exclusive cars can appear in the Italian Aftermarket rotation during Series 3 .
The Six Aftermarket Cars
The Italian Exotics takeover adds six rare cars to the Aftermarket dealership's rotation:
| Car | Priority |
|---|---|
| Ferrari 599XX Evolution (2012) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top priority — speed meta |
| Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (2011) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential pick — grip meta |
| Ferrari 288 GTO (1984) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Collector classic |
| Lamborghini Diablo GTR (1999) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rare classic |
| Ferrari F8 Tributo (2019) | ⭐⭐⭐ Solid all-rounder |
| Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2012) | ⭐⭐⭐ Great V12, lower priority |
How the Aftermarket Works
The Aftermarket dealership uses a rotating inventory system, so keep a close eye on the stock. We've mapped out exactly how much each vehicle costs and which ones you should prioritize in our comprehensive Forza Horizon 6 Italian Aftermarket Tier List and Buying Guide.
Aftermarket Buying Strategy
| Budget | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Under 2M Credits | Buy only 599XX Evo or Sesto Elemento when they appear |
| 2M–5M Credits | Prioritize meta cars first, then collectors |
| 5M+ Credits | Buy all six — their availability may become less predictable after the takeover ends |
Location shortcut: Don't fast travel to Horizon Stadium — it drops you inside the maze. Fast travel to Shimanoyama Circuit Parking Lot or Shimanoyama Charge Street Racing instead to land directly across the street .
⚠️ The Aftermarket is a limited-time event. Playground Games has not confirmed whether this dealership takeover will return in a future series.
Car Pass: Separate DLC Content
The Car Pass is a separate DLC purchase — it's not part of the Festival Playlist or Italian Passion Car Pack. Premium owners receive access automatically.
Car Pass owners receive these additional vehicles over the Series 3 weeks :
| Week | Car |
|---|---|
| Week 1 (Jul 16) | Aston Martin DB7 GT (2003) |
| Week 2 (Jul 23) | Nissan Patrol (1972) |
| Week 3 (Jul 30) | Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium (2024) |
| Week 4 (Aug 6) | Honda Z GT (1972) |
Plus 52 new EventLab props for creators .
Italian Passion Pack vs Festival Playlist vs Aftermarket: What's What?
The biggest mistake players make is assuming all Italian Exotics cars are part of the same reward pool. They're not .
| Source | Cars Included | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Festival Playlist | Temerario, Pantera GT5, Huracán EVO Spyder, + reruns | Free (play to earn) |
| Italian Passion Pack | Ferrari F80, 275 GTB4 Spider, Giulia GTAm, SE 048SP | $4.99 (DLC) |
| Aftermarket | 599XX Evo, Sesto Elemento, 288 GTO, Diablo GTR, F8, Aventador | Credits (in-game currency) |
| Car Pass | DB7 GT, Nissan Patrol, Prius Prime, Z GT | Included with Premium/Deluxe |
The Ferrari F80 is NOT free. The Temerario is NOT DLC. The 599XX Evo is NOT in the Autoshow. Each acquisition path is separate .
