Forza Motorsport Car List: Every Car in the 2023 Reboot Through 2026 Updates
This page tracks every car in Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 Studios’ 2023 simulation racing reboot, from the 500+ launch lineup through every monthly free Update through May 2026. While Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026 as the open-world counterpart, Forza Motorsport remains the dedicated circuit-racing sibling with a curated roster built around the CarPG progression system. The Forza Motorsport track list expanded alongside the car list via the same free Update cadence. Below: the launch car count, every notable Featured Tour and Spotlight car addition through Update 18+, a manufacturer breakdown, an explanation of the class and division system, and a direct comparison with Forza Motorsport 7’s 700+ roster.

Launch Car Count: 500+ Cars on October 10, 2023
Forza Motorsport launched with more than 500 cars — a deliberately smaller footprint than Forza Motorsport 7’s 700+ roster. Turn 10’s rationale was quality over quantity: every car was rebuilt from scratch with new physics, ray-traced cockpit reflections, and individually modeled suspension, brake bias and gearing to support the new CarPG upgrade-progression system.
The launch lineup is organized around five core categories: modern racing prototypes and GT (LMDh, GT3, GT4, Le Mans Hypercars); classic touring and GT cars (DTM, BTCC, Group A, Group C); modern production performance including supercars and hypercars; track day and tuner specials spanning JDM legends and American muscle; and spec-series cars such as Formula Mazda, Formula Ford and the Caterham Seven.
Most notably, 100+ cars were entirely new to the Forza franchise at launch, including the Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh, Acura ARX-06, and the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Turn 10 also updated several legacy model years — 2023-spec Porsche 911 GT3, 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB — rather than carrying over older model variants. The precise count of new-to-franchise cars beyond the confirmed 100 has not been officially published (unconfirmed).

Post-Launch Cars Added in Free Monthly Updates
Since launch in October 2023, Turn 10 has added new cars to Forza Motorsport every month via free Updates. Each Update typically includes 4–6 cars spread across Featured Tour cars, Spotlight cars (earned through gameplay without additional purchase) and Career Pass cars locked behind series progression. Every car is free for all players — there is no paid Car Pass.

Full patch notes for each Update are published at forza.net/news under “Update X Release Notes” and syndicated on news.xbox.com. The cumulative car count as of May 2026 is approximately 600+, but Turn 10 has not released a single official running total (unconfirmed).

Class System: P, R, S, A, B, C, D and Division Filter
Forza Motorsport uses the same Performance Index (PI) class ladder as previous Forza titles — D class (500 PI) at the low end through X class (999 PI) for hypercars — but the 2023 reboot layers a Division filter on top that groups similar machinery for online multiplayer balance and the Builders Cup career.
The core Divisions at launch were:
- Forza P (Prototype) — LMP1, LMP2, LMDh and Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) class
- Forza GT — GT3, GTLM and GT Le Mans cars
- Forza Touring — GT4, TCR, DTM, BTCC
- Forza Production — modern sports cars and supercars at stock PI
- Track Toys — Caterham, Ariel, KTM X-Bow, Radical
- Spec Series — single-make classes including Formula Mazda, MX-5 Cup, Formula Drift
- Vintage and Historic — pre-1990 classics, Group B rally, Trans-Am
The Builders Cup career rotates through these Divisions on a season-by-season structure. Multiplayer Featured Tours typically lock competitors to a single Division per event for parity racing. The precise current Division list as of Update 18+ has not been officially consolidated in one place (unconfirmed).
Comparison vs Forza Motorsport 7 (2017)
Forza Motorsport 7 launched with 700+ cars and grew to over 800 via paid Car Pass DLC. The 2023 reboot made the opposite bet: launch leaner, keep quality high, and add every new car for free. The tradeoff was a smaller opening roster that drew criticism from players migrating from FM7, but 18+ months of free Updates have steadily closed the gap — especially in the modern GT3 and LMDh categories that were FM7’s weakest point.
| Forza Motorsport 7 (2017) | Forza Motorsport (2023) at launch | Forza Motorsport (May 2026) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cars at launch | 700+ | 500+ | n/a |
| Cars currently | 800+ (with DLC) | n/a | 600+ (unconfirmed) |
| Paid car DLC | Yes (Car Pass) | No | No |
| New-to-franchise at launch | ~50 | 100+ | n/a |
| LMDh / Hypercar class | No (LMP1 only) | Yes | Yes + more |
| Free monthly car drops | No | Yes | Yes |
| Per-car upgrade progression | No (free upgrades) | Yes (CarPG) | Yes |
| Forza Edition cars | Yes | Reframed as CarPG perks | Yes |
The 2023 reboot’s CarPG system — where each car has its own upgrade ladder you level through by racing that specific car — is the most fundamental departure from FM7’s model. It makes roster size less directly comparable, because each car requires a meaningful time investment to fully unlock.
