FH6 Car Tier List, Best Cars Ranked
I've put an embarrassing amount of time into testing cars in FH6. Like, genuinely embarrassing. This list isn't based on stat cards or what looks good on paper — I've actually driven everything here, logged lap times, run drag strips, and watched what wins in online lobbies for weeks now. A car with insane on-paper stats can drive like complete garbage (looking at you, certain 2M+ hypercars), and some random car with modest numbers can turn into an absolute giant killer with the right tune. Seen it happen way too many times.
How I rank these: S-tier cars define the meta for their class. Period. You'll see these on every leaderboard. A-tier is competitive but they've got minor flaws holding them back from being truly meta. B-tier is solid, perfectly usable, but outclassed at the sweatiest level. C-tier is collector pieces or specialist picks — fun, but not what you bring to competitive racing. D-tier? Fun cars, but bruh. Don't bring these to anything where you actually wanna win.
S Tier, The Meta-Defining Stuff
These are on every leaderboard and in every sweaty lobby. If you wanna win, start here. Straight up.
- Koenigsegg Jesko — highest top speed in FH6, 300+ mph easy. Dominates speed traps and highway pulls. RWD-only makes it harder to drive than the Bolide, but the top speed ceiling is unmatched. Legit OP for speed runs and nothing else comes close.
- Bugatti Bolide — AWD grip monster with 1,825 hp. Way easier to drive fast than the Jesko thanks to all-wheel drive and that massive downforce. The better all-around S2 car for circuit racing, no question. This is the one I recommend if you only want one X class car.
- Rimac Nevera — best launch in the entire game, 0-60 in about 1.85 seconds. Untouchable in drag racing, unbeatable off the line in literally any race type. The heavy weight (4,750 lbs) hurts it in corners though — you feel every pound when you try to turn.
- McLaren P1 — best balanced hybrid hypercar in S2. Instant electric torque yanks you out of corners, twin-turbo V8 handles the top end. My personal go-to for technical circuits. It just does everything well without being a handful.
- Porsche 911 GT3 RS — best handling car in S1 class, period. That rear-engine traction out of corners is unmatched. It's the driver's car — rewards skill more than any other meta pick. The sweat lords absolutely worship this thing and honestly I get it.
A Tier, Excellent But With Minor Flaws
- Ferrari SF90 Stradale — AWD hybrid with insane corner exit grip. Slightly heavier than the GT3 RS but easier to drive consistently, especially if you're not a pro. Best wet-weather S1 car, no contest. Rain? This thing doesn't care.
- Hennessey Venom F5 — nearly matches the Jesko in top speed, which is wild. RWD-only makes launching a nightmare and corners are tricky. Specialist weapon, not an all-rounder. Buy it for highway flexing, not circuit racing.
- Aston Martin Valkyrie — most extreme downforce in the game, cornering speeds that feel like literal cheating. Below 80 mph the aero isn't working yet, so slow corners are sketchy. You'll think you're a god in fast sweepers and then bin it in a hairpin.
- Lamborghini Revuelto — NA V12 with hybrid assist, sounds way better than the SF90 even if the lap times are slightly worse. It's the emotional pick over the analytical one and honestly I respect that choice every time.
- Pagani Huayra BC — gorgeous handling balance with active aero, but the lighter steering feel makes it less precise at the absolute limit. Looks incredible in photo mode though, like genuinely one of the prettiest cars in the game.
- Nissan GT-R Nismo — basically an AWD security blanket. Not the fastest S1 car on a perfect lap, but the most consistent car in the class. If you race online and can't afford crashes (which is everyone), this is your pick. Boring but effective.
B Tier, Solid But Outclassed At The Top
- BMW M5 CS — fastest four-door in the game. AWD plus 627 hp makes it a beast for highway pulls. That 4,100 lbs weight holds it back on technical circuits though, you really feel the mass in tight corners.
- Dodge Challenger SRT Demon — best pure drag car under 200K credits. Needs the AWD swap and drag tires to hit its potential though, stock form is just wheelspin. Terrible at anything involving corners. Like, seriously, don't even try. It's a one-trick pony and the trick is going straight.
- Ford Mustang Dark Horse — best value in S1 at around 60K CR. Genuinely absurd for the price. RWD requires some skill but the chassis is legitimately capable. Massive upgrade potential with the supercharger kit too.
- Toyota Supra GR — legendary tuner platform. Stock form is B-tier but fully built it can hang with A-tier cars easily. The 2JZ swap potential is enormous, basically a blank canvas. I've spent way too many hours just messing with Supra builds.
- Honda Civic Type R — best FWD car for A-class, dominates tight technical circuits where FWD corner-exit traction matters more than straight-line speed. It'll gap RWD cars out of hairpins all day.
- Hoonigan RS200 — the off-road meta returns from FH5 and it's still ridiculous. The grip this thing has on dirt and snow, combined with a top speed that shouldn't be physically possible for a rally car, makes it S-tier for dirt. B-tier on asphalt, which is fair enough.
C Tier, Collector Cars, Not What You Race With
- McLaren F1 — legendary status, 15M CR price tag, but modern S1 cars absolutely gap it. Buy it for the central driving position and that V12 soundtrack, not for lap times. It's a museum piece that happens to be driveable.
- Ford Mustang Boss 302 — fun classic muscle with genuine Trans-Am racing heritage. Competitive in B-class with the right upgrades but modern machinery will walk it. Still a blast to drive though.
- Toyota 2000GT — absolutely beautiful Japanese classic. Stock 150 hp is painful, like genuinely hard to drive, but the 2JZ swap transforms it into a legitimate A-class contender. Collector piece first, project car second.
- Ferrari 250 GTO — 50M CR collector car, the most valuable barn find in the game. Drives beautifully for a 1962 car but will never be competitive against modern stuff. Own it for the experience, not the leaderboard. It's about the vibe.
- Porsche 356 Speedster — charming rear-engine classic, tons of character. Fun in D-class with sport tires but any modern hatchback will gap it on straights. No joke, a stock Golf will embarrass you.
Best Cars by Class, Quick Reference
If you just want the shortest possible answer for each PI class, here it is. These are the cars I'd buy first if I was starting a new garage today, no hesitation:

| C (501-600) | Toyota GR Yaris | VW Golf R (~35K) | AWD hot hatches own C-class |
| D (100-500) | Mazda MX-5 Miata | Toyota AE86 (~20K) | D-class is about chassis, not power |

Best Value, Most Car for Your Credits
Not everyone has 20 million credits sitting around. I mean, most people don't. Here's what I'd buy at different budget levels if I had to start over from scratch tomorrow:
Under 50K CR: Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Genuinely competitive in S1 with just a few handling upgrades. You'll use it for 30+ hours and not feel held back at all. Second choice: Mazda MX-5, the most fun you can have in B-class for pocket change. Fr, it costs basically nothing and it's a riot.
50K-200K CR: Nissan GT-R Nismo. AWD, fast, forgiving. You can take this car into literally any S1 race and podium without sweating. It's boring but it wins. And winning pays more credits. So whatever, boring works.
200K-1M CR: Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This is the car that actually teaches you how to drive fast. Like, for real. Not the easiest car here, but the fastest S1 car once you learn it. Worth every credit. I'm not kidding — this car made me a better driver.
1M+ CR: Don't buy a hypercar. Seriously, don't. Buy 3-4 meta cars across different classes instead. You'll win way more races with a good S1 car, a good A-class car, and a good dirt car than with one S2 hypercar that can't even enter most events. Trust me on this one. I made this mistake so you don't have to.
