Quick Take
The Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II and the Toyota Supra RZ (A80) are the two most-requested JDM icons in every Forza Horizon entry. This page compares both cars across real-world manufacturer specs and verified in-game Forza Horizon 5 stats. FH6 stats are not yet published, so they are unconfirmed as of May 2026.

Quick verdict: R34 or Supra MK4 in Forza Horizon?
If you want point-and-shoot grip, faster launches and confidence on dirt cross-country, pick the 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34). In Forza Horizon 5 it sits at PI 657 (B class) with an AWD ATTESA drivetrain, 244 kW (327 hp), 1,560 kg and a 0-97 kph time of 4.9 s — noticeably quicker than the Supra off the line and easier to drive on mixed-surface events.
If you want a higher stock top speed, lower price, and a tuner-friendly RWD platform, pick the 1998 Toyota Supra RZ (MK4). It runs PI 646 (B class), 239 kW (320 hp), 1,510 kg, RWD — and hits 282.7 kph top speed stock, 14.7 kph faster than the R34. It also costs 38,000 Cr versus the R34’s 63,000 Cr, leaving budget for upgrades.
FH6 in-game stats are unconfirmed as of May 2026 until Playground Games publishes the official car list.
Real-world specs: RB26DETT vs 2JZ-GTE
Both cars were sold under Japan’s “gentleman’s agreement” 276 hp ceiling, but the two engines reached that number very differently — and the export Supra escaped the cap entirely.
- R34 RB26DETT — 2,568 cc twin-turbo I6, factory-rated 206 kW (280 PS) at 6,800 rpm and 392 N·m (40.0 kgm) at 4,400 rpm. Real dyno output widely reported above 320 hp. Power goes through ATTESA E-TS Pro AWD to all four wheels.
- Supra MK4 2JZ-GTE — 2,997 cc twin-turbo I6. Japan rated it at 206 kW (276 hp / 280 PS) and 318 lb-ft (431 N·m); export markets received upgraded turbos and larger injectors for 239 kW (321 hp / 325 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 315 lb-ft (427 N·m) at 4,000 rpm, sent through a Getrag V160 6-speed to the rear wheels only.
- Weight & layout — R34 V-Spec II: 1,560 kg, AWD. Supra Turbo manual: 1,565 kg, RWD.
The RB26 is the racier, rev-happier engine; the 2JZ is the legendary tuning block — its cast-iron closed-deck cylinder block is the reason 1,000+ hp builds are routine.

| Lateral G @ 97 kph | 0.92 | 0.92 |
| Speed rating | 6.1 | 6.4 |
| Handling | 5.1 | 4.8 |

The R34 wins five of seven driving categories (handling, acceleration, offroad most decisively). The Supra wins speed and launch — its lighter weight and lower gearing give it more terminal velocity.
Tuning potential and which one wins at S1/S2
- R34 (AWD advantage): ATTESA AWD is preserved in-game, so once you push the R34 past 600 hp it remains the more drivable build for Road Racing and Cross Country at S1 and S2. Community tunes regularly take it past 450 kph with full drivetrain and aero upgrades.
- Supra (RWD ceiling): The 2JZ in Forza accepts huge power gains, and the Welcome Pack Supra RZ variant ships pre-tuned at PI A 800, 505 hp, 207.2 mph top speed and 1.14 lateral G — a free preview of what the chassis can do. RWD makes it the better Drift Zone and Drag Strip car but more demanding on dirt.
If you race mixed surfaces and online lobbies where consistency wins, the R34 has the higher ceiling. If you tune for drag, drift or pure top speed and want a cheaper buy-in, the Supra wins. Both are almost certainly returning in FH6 — though their FH6 PI placement is unconfirmed as of May 2026 until launch.
FAQ
Which is faster in Forza Horizon 5, the R34 or the Supra MK4?
The Supra RZ has a higher stock top speed (282.7 kph vs 268.0 kph), but the R34 V-Spec II is faster off the line (0-97 kph in 4.9 s vs 5.3 s) thanks to its AWD drivetrain.
How much horsepower does the R34 GT-R have in Forza Horizon 5?
The 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II in FH5 is rated at 244 kW (327 hp), slightly above the JDM-rated real-world figure of 280 PS.
Is the Supra MK4 RWD or AWD?
The Toyota Supra MK4 (A80) is rear-wheel drive with a Getrag V160 6-speed manual on Turbo models. The R34 GT-R is AWD via the ATTESA E-TS Pro system.
Will the R34 and Supra MK4 be in Forza Horizon 6?
Both cars have appeared in every mainline Forza Horizon since FH2 and are universally expected in FH6, but the official FH6 car list and in-game stats are not yet published — confirmation is unconfirmed as of May 2026.
Why is the R34 more expensive than the Supra in Forza?
In FH5 the R34 V-Spec II costs 63,000 Cr versus the Supra RZ at 38,000 Cr, reflecting both higher real-world market value and a higher in-game PI (657 vs 646).
Which engine is better for tuning, RB26DETT or 2JZ-GTE?
The 2JZ-GTE’s cast-iron closed-deck block is famous for handling 800-1000+ hp on stock internals. The RB26DETT also tunes well but needs internal upgrades sooner; in Forza the 2JZ is the higher-ceiling drag/drift platform.
