Toyota GR GT Debuts in Forza Horizon 6

Gamers are in for a treat. The newest speed machine of Toyota is hitting the digital streets in Forza Horizon 6 before the real ones.

The GR GT, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s (TGR) flagship, is making its first appearance in Forza Horizon 6, featured prominently on the game’s newly released cover art ahead of the 2026 release.

The artwork sets the stage perfectly: a red GR GT roaring through a stunning Japanese landscape, Mount Fuji towering in the background, and cherry blossoms drifting past as if cheering on your next high-speed run.

And in the game?

Expect players to push this road-legal race car to its limits — from insane drifts around tight corners to jaw-dropping top speeds on open highways. Gamers can even tweak performance settings and customize the look, making it as personal as it is fast.

Toyota first revealed the GR GT in Tokyo last December, alongside its track-ready sibling, the GR GT3. Designed with motorsport DNA, the GR GT is a true “race car for the road.”

Now, for the first time, gamers everywhere can experience the thrill of TGR engineering long before it hits real asphalt. Whether you’re all about drifting, street racing, or just flexing epic cars in-game, the GR GT in Forza Horizon 6 is shaping up to be the ride everyone will want in their virtual garage.

Forza Horizon 6 is set to launch later this year, and Playground Games offered fans an exclusive look at the game during today’s Developer Direct. The studio revealed how the latest installment brings its vision to life, from the detailed recreation of Japan to the new features designed for the mainline series.

Design Director Torben Ellert shared insights on the game’s development, highlighting how Forza Horizon 6 aims to give players unprecedented freedom to explore its open world while introducing brand-new gameplay additions.
