Altezza RS200 Z Edition Secrets in Forza Horizon 6

[MoonstoneVale]

The 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition has made a surprising return in Forza Horizon 6, hidden as a secret, unlisted car. Fans have been waiting for this JDM legend since the Xbox 360 era, and its appearance now has the community buzzing. Interestingly, the car wasn’t on the official vehicle list at launch. Early footage and pre-release videos showed it tucked away in the background, waiting for players to uncover.

How to Unlock the Altezza RS200 Z Edition

The key thing to know is that you cannot buy this car directly from the Autoshow when the game first launches. It’s hidden behind progression and exploration:

Progression Wall: You need to advance through the main Horizon Festival campaign. Completing certain open-world milestones will trigger the car’s availability.
Pre-Release vs. Launch: Test builds of the game showed the Altezza in the standard Autoshow menu. In the final retail version, it’s locked until you hit hidden unlocks, wheelspins, or seasonal playlist challenges.

Players who hunt the map carefully and engage with the Festival Playlist will be the first to get their hands on this rare ride.

Model Specifications & Customization Secrets

This isn’t a straight port of the old Forza Motorsport Altezza. It’s a fully upgraded, laser-scanned JDM model:

The BEAMS Engine: The car sports the famous 2.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 3S-GE BEAMS "Black Top" engine, putting out about 207 horsepower. It’s different from the global Lexus IS200, which used an inline-6.
Z Edition Visuals: The “Z Edition” adds a refreshed factory body spec. Players can spot subtle details like a redesigned front bumper that makes it stand out from older versions.
Secret Upgrade Paths: Drifters and tuners can take it further. While stock it’s a 4-cylinder, the game allows high-power swaps like the legendary 1JZ or 2JZ inline-6 engines. This makes it perfect for custom builds, drift setups, or high-speed street runs.

Whether you’re a completionist chasing hidden rewards or a tuner looking for the ultimate JDM drift machine, the Altezza RS200 Z Edition is packed with secrets that make it a standout in Forza Horizon 6.
