Ultima in Forza Horizon 6

Country: UK | Founded: 1992

I've been running the Ultima in Fh6 for a while now, track-focused brutality, lightweight chassis with massive power shoved in. Thing is an absolute animal.

Honestly, Ultima brings 1 vehicle to Forza Horizon 6 and I've put some serious laps into it. This car has a character all its own, whether you're grinding ranked or just messing around. Yep.

What Makes Ultima Special

Trail-braking works wonders on Ultimas, I swear by it. The balance is what keeps me hooked on these cars. Responsive steering, like, stupid responsive, you'll notice it the second you turn in.

For tuning, I've found dropping tire pressure 2-3 PSI makes a real difference on Ultimas. But here's the catch, they can get twitchy under braking if you push too hard without a proper setup. No joke, it'll bite ya.

Best Events for Ultima

I run my Ultimas almost exclusively in road racing events, that's where they belong tbh. Some models are actually kinda cracked in drift zones with the right tune. Fr.

Anyway, that's the quick take.

Best Events for Ultima

So you got yourself an Ultima, now where do you actually race it? I've tested this thing everywhere, and for road racing circuits, Ultimas handle best on medium to high-speed tracks with smooth corners. The Ultima GTR 720 is my weapon of choice on tracks like the Coastal Highway and Mountain Pass circuits, you can really stretch its legs there. Street scene events are solid too since Ultimas have ridiculous acceleration out of corners. But honestly, I'd stay far away from dirt racing unless you've got some meme rally build going, most Ultimas are pure asphalt machines and the offroad handling is sketchy af. Trust me on that one.

For online racing, Ultimas in S2 class are competitive without being straight up broken. You'll hold your own against similar-tier cars. Tuning is the whole game tho, a stock Ultima is fine for solo but you need proper gearing and suspension for competitive multiplayer. I set my final drive ratio slightly longer than stock on Ultimas cause they top out way too early on fast tracks. Big deal if ya get it wrong, like, ruins your whole race.

Tuning Tips for Ultima

Tuning Ultimas is more about refinement than a full rebuild, y'know? These cars come pretty dialed from the factory, and honestly most of the performance gain comes from small adjustments. I start with tire pressure, drop it 2 PSI from stock for better grip on technical circuits, or raise it 1 PSI for top speed runs. The suspension on Ultimas tends to be a bit stiff for Fh6's bumpy roads, so softening the springs by about 10 percent actually improves handling on most tracks. Go figure.

For the diff, Ultimas benefit from a slightly higher rear bias, try 65 percent rear on AWD models and 100 percent rear on RWD. Anti-roll bars, I set them one click softer than default in the front and one click stiffer in the rear. This dials out the understeer these cars sometimes have on corner entry. And gearing, man, this is the most important adjustment, Ultima gearboxes are set up for real-world speeds but Fh6 tracks are shorter and tighter, so I shorten the final drive for better acceleration out of slow corners. Night and day difference, fr.

How Ultima Compares to Rivals

In Fh6's roster, Ultima's in a strange spot among the 1 vehicles from UK. Compared to other manufacturers in similar classes, the driving character is something ya either love or absolutely despise. Some players swear by Ultimas for certain tracks, others think they're undrivable. Honestly, my advice is to just drive a few different manufacturers back to back on the same track and see which handling model clicks with you. Numbers on a spreadsheet don't tell you how a car feels through a corner. For real.

Collecting Tips

If you're trying to collect every Ultima in Fh6, I'd start with the Autoshow cars, those are the easiest, just buy em with credits. The wheelspin-exclusive Ultimas are the real grind tho, no guaranteed way to get em. Nope. I check the auction house regularly, especially on weekends when more players are listing stuff. For the seasonal reward Ultimas, ya just gotta wait for them to cycle back around in the festival playlist. Set a reminder and don't miss the week, it might be months before it comes back. I've been burned by this more than once.

Common Tuning Mistakes with This Brand

I see people mess up Ultima tunes all the time, like, way too often. The biggest noob trap is maxing out every upgrade without thinking about balance. A fully upgraded Ultima with 1500 horsepower is useless if ya can't put the power down. Traction is everything in Fh6, and Ultimas especially need proper tire and suspension upgrades before you start chasing horsepower. Another common screw-up is ignoring weight reduction, Ultimas are already kinda heavy for a track car, and shedding a hundred kilos is worth way more lap time than adding 50 horsepower. Start with handling mods, then add power. And don't forget brake upgrades, seriously, being able to brake 10 meters later into every corner adds up to seconds per lap. Yep.
