Mitsubishi in Forza Horizon 6
Country: Japan | Founded: 1917
Look, I've been driving Mitsubishi in Fh6 for way too many hours now. Rally-bred legends, right? The Lancer Evo, all-wheel-drive mastery, the whole deal. Honestly my favorite thing about this brand is how it just rips through corners like it was born on dirt.
So Mitsubishi brings 1 vehicle to Forza Horizon 6. Not a lot, I know. Yep. But each one's got its own vibe, its own build path, and honestly I've spent more time tuning these than actually racing them. That's kinda the point tho.
Available Vehicles
Lancer Evo X (2015)
Class: B | PI: 720
What Makes Mitsubishi Special
Manual shifting with these, tbh. Fr. The top end speed is what hooks me, but the cornering? That's the real magic, no joke. I've pulled off some legit drifts in the Evo that made me laugh out loud. Something about that AWD grip just clicks with my driving style.
Tuning-wise, I drop tire pressure 2-3 PSI and the whole car wakes up. Like, transforms. The short version: gets kinda tail-happy if you push too hard without a proper setup. Ya gotta respect the weight transfer or it'll bite you mid-corner, and I learned that the hard way.
Best Events for Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi cars perform well in road racing events. Some models also excel in drift zones with the right setup.
Anyway, that's the quick version.
Best Events for Mitsubishi
So you grabbed a Mitsubishi, now where do you actually send it? For road racing circuits, I've found these cars handle best on medium to high-speed tracks with smooth sweepers. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X? Legit meta in B class on Coastal Highway and Mountain Pass circuits. No joke. Street scene events are a solid pick too, cuz the acceleration out of slow corners is kinda broken, in a good way. But dirt racing? I mean, unless you've got a specific rally tune going, it's a noob trap. The offroad grip feels sketchy, like driving on ice half the time.
Online racing with Mitsubishi in B class is competitive, but not OP. You'll hold your own fine. But tuning is everything, ya know? A stock Mitsubishi works for solo stuff, but for sweaty multiplayer lobbies you need proper gearing and suspension. I set my final drive slightly longer than stock, cuz these cars top out way too early on fast tracks. Drives me nuts.
Tuning Tips for Mitsubishi
Tuning Mitsubishi is more about refinement than overhaul, tbh. These cars come decent from the factory, and honestly most of the gains I get are from tiny tweaks, not massive rebuilds. Start with tire pressure, I drop it 2 PSI from stock for grip on technical circuits, or bump it 1 PSI for top speed runs. The suspension on Mitsubishi cars runs a bit stiff for Fh6's bumpy mess, so I soften the springs about 10 percent and it actually helps handling on most tracks. Go figure.
For the differential, I run a slightly higher rear bias, try 65 percent rear on AWD models and 100 percent rear on RWD. Anti-roll bars should be one click softer in front, one click stiffer in the rear. This dials out the understeer that plagues Mitsubishi on corner entry. Drives me crazy otherwise. Gearing is the biggest deal though, Mitsubishi gearboxes are set for real-world speeds but Fh6 tracks are shorter, so shorten the final drive for better pull out of slow corners. Yep.
How Mitsubishi Compares to Rivals
In Fh6's roster, Mitsubishi sits in a weird spot among the 3 vehicles from Japan. I've driven every Japanese car in the game, and Mitsubishi just feels different. Some players I know swear by Mitsubishi for certain track types, others think it's a meme car and move on. The best advice I can give, honestly, is drive a few different brands back to back on the same track and see what clicks. Numbers on a spreadsheet don't tell you how a car feels through a corner, and that's where Mitsubishi either wins you over or loses you completely.
Collecting Tips
Trying to collect every Mitsubishi in Fh6? Start with the Autoshow cars, those are the easiest cuz you just buy them with credits. Basic stuff. The wheelspin-exclusive Mitsubishi vehicles are the real grind tho. No guaranteed way to get them, and I've spent millions on wheelspins chasing one car. Check the auction house regularly, especially weekends when more players are listing stuff. For the seasonal reward Mitsubishi cars, you just gotta wait for them to cycle back in the festival playlist. Set a reminder in-game and don't miss the week, it might be months before it comes back. For real.
Common Tuning Mistakes with This Brand
I see people absolutely butcher Mitsubishi tunes all the time, drives me insane tbh. The biggest mistake? Maxing out every upgrade without thinking about balance. A fully upgraded Mitsubishi with 1500 horsepower is literally useless if you can't put the power down. Traction is everything in Fh6, and Mitsubishi cars especially need proper tire and suspension upgrades before you go chasing big power numbers. Another common screw-up, ignoring weight reduction. These cars are heavy, and shedding a hundred kilos is worth way more lap time than adding 50 horsepower. Like, way more. Start with handling mods, then add power. Oh, and don't forget brake upgrades. Seriously. Being able to brake 10 meters later into every corner adds up to seconds per lap. I've tested this stuff, it works.
