Forza Horizon 6 drops players into a stunning recreation of Japan, packed with hidden treasures and collectibles. Whether you’re racing through neon-lit Tokyo streets, drifting mountain passes, or exploring snow-covered alpine roads, there’s always something hidden around the corner. Collectors have plenty to chase, and this guide breaks down what to look for and how to track it.
Major Hidden Collectibles
Barn Finds
The classic favorite is back. There are 9 hidden cars tucked away in barns across Japan. Ali and Dak provide rumors that show up as large purple search circles on your map. Drive carefully—you’ll often find these barns in off-the-beaten-path locations, sometimes behind hills or tucked into farmyards.
Treasure Cars (Abandoned Cars)
A new collectible type in FH6, Treasure Cars are abandoned vehicles scattered across the world. Characters like Mei will give you photo clues to help locate them. Some confirmed Treasure Cars include the 1991 Nissan Figaro, 1985 Nissan Safari, and 1969 Dodge Charger. Pay attention to the photos’ background—they often show landmarks, trees, or fences as hints.
Regional Mascots
Every Japanese region has unique mascots hidden throughout the world. Some are tucked on rooftops, in parks, or along highways. These add charm and are often tricky to spot without careful exploration.
Bonus Boards (XP & Fast Travel)
Returning from previous Horizon games, Bonus Boards are great for XP and fast travel discounts. Many are cleverly hidden: look for rooftops, highway bridges, and caves. Smashing them rewards your progression and sometimes reveals hidden shortcuts.
Rare Aftermarket Builds
While exploring, keep an eye out for unique custom cars that spawn in free roam. Some can even be purchased immediately, without menu navigation, giving you an edge in the early game.
Interactive Tools & Tracking
Collection Journal
All your progress is tracked in the Collection Journal. As you photograph landmarks, collect mascots, or find cars, you’ll earn stamps that progress your rank from Yellow to Gold. It’s a satisfying way to see how complete your hunt is.
Interactive Maps
Platforms like MapMaster provide pins for Bonus Boards, Regional Mascots, and Treasure Cars, saving time if you’re going for 100% completion. These maps are a must for completionists.
Drone Mode
Exploring tricky terrain? Use Drone Mode to scout areas quickly. This is perfect for checking large regions for Barn Find rumors or high-up Bonus Boards without wasting fuel or time driving.
Special Promotions & Secret Unlocks
Some rare vehicles are tied to external promotions:
- Fanta Toyota Sports 800: Unlocked through a Fanta mini-game.
- Trolli P50: Earned by uploading a Trolli candy receipt.
- Legend Island: A hidden area unlocked after earning specific wristbands and achieving the Horizon Legend rank.
Final Tips
- Take your time—Japan’s map is huge, and many hidden collectibles require careful observation.
- Pay attention to NPC clues and photos—they often contain subtle hints.
- Use Drone Mode and interactive maps to optimize your search routes.
- Smash every Bonus Board along your path—it helps your XP and uncovers hidden shortcuts.
Whether you’re a veteran collector or a newcomer, Forza Horizon 6 makes every hidden find feel rewarding. Keep your eyes open, your tires ready, and enjoy the hunt!
