The 2020 Lotus Evija Forza Edition is the best Colossus car in Forza Horizon 6 for lap times if you have VIP. Without VIP, choose the 2021 Hennessey Venom F5.
Your goal and event rules decide the other picks. A fast hypercar suits a competitive run, while a Forza Edition reward bonus can make another vehicle more useful for farming. Check which version of The Colossus you are entering before buying a car or changing its upgrades.
Check the Colossus entry rules first
Progress through the Horizon Festival Journal until you earn the Gold wristband. This unlocks Legend Island and its endgame races, including The Colossus.
Open the event screen before selecting your car. The Journal race and versions accessed through Rivals or EventLab can have different entry rules, so the recommendations below are not interchangeable across every version.

Which car should you use for fast runs?
Choose the Evija Forza Edition when your priority is outright pace and the selected event allows it.
2020 Lotus Evija Forza Edition
It is a VIP DLC car, available through VIP Membership or the Premium Edition.
Its main driving weakness is throttle sensitivity. Applying power too aggressively can spin the car, especially when leaving a slow corner. The fastest-lap recommendation comes with a need for controlled accelerator inputs.
Select the exact Forza Edition variant when choosing your car. The recommendation here is for that version, not the standard Lotus Evija.
Lap-time pick for VIP owners
2021 Hennessey Venom F5
The Venom F5 is available from the Autoshow or a Wheelspin. Use the Autoshow route if you want to buy the recommended non-VIP car directly.
Its top-speed focus suits The Colossus’s sustained fast sections, but the slower corners demand more care. If you are deciding between it and another speed-focused hypercar, compare the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 6 before spending your credits.
Already own a Lamborghini Centenario or Mercedes-AMG ONE? Both are alternatives for the S2 Hypercar Journal race. Try an eligible car from your garage before buying another, particularly if you already have a setup you can control through the slower sections.
How to drive the Colossus cleanly
The Colossus combines long high-speed stretches with sharp turns. Favor sustained speed and stability, but keep enough handling to navigate those corners. A car suited to a short, corner-heavy circuit is not automatically the strongest choice here.
Protect your corner exits
Use these adjustments with the two main speed picks:
- Evija Forza Edition: On a controller, squeeze the accelerator trigger progressively out of slow corners instead of immediately applying full throttle.
- Venom F5: Brake earlier for slow turns, finish the turn, and straighten the car before returning to full throttle.
- Both cars: Prioritize the exit onto a long straight. Losing control as you accelerate compromises the section where these cars should be gaining speed.
If you’re struggling with sharp turns more than straight-line speed, compare the best handling cars in Forza Horizon 6 before switching to an even faster hypercar. Choose a car you can keep under control through the complete route.
Which cars should you use for farming?
The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition and Wuling Sunshine S Forza Edition are credit-focused picks.
Credits with or without VIP
Their Forza Edition farming bonuses are the reason to consider them for repeated reward runs instead of choosing solely by finishing time.
The Tacoma uses the VIP DLC acquisition route. The Wuling comes from Wheelspins or seasonal rewards, and you can also look for one in the Auction House. It is not a normal Autoshow purchase, so obtaining one takes a different route from buying the Venom F5.
You can farm with other cars that meet your chosen event’s rules while working toward a reward-focused vehicle. Forza Edition cars are recommended for their bonuses, not required for every farming run.
XP with the Lexus LFA Forza Edition
Choose the Lexus LFA Forza Edition when your target is XP. It fills a different farming role from the Tacoma and Wuling, so do not automatically reuse your credit-focused car for an XP session.
Compare farming options under the same event rules and settings. Look at both the reward earned and the time spent completing the run. For repeated credit farming, compare credits per minute, not just the largest payout from a single finish.
