Forza Horizon 6 includes two distinct versions of the Honda NSX-R, and they couldn't be more different to obtain. The 1992 Honda NSX-R sits in the Autoshow waiting for your credits, while the 2005 Honda NSX-R GT is locked behind a Barn Find that requires story progression to unlock. Both are rear-wheel-drive retro sports cars with 276 hp, but their stats, weight, and acquisition paths differ enough that you'll want to know which one to chase first.
How to get the Honda NSX-R GT (2005)
The 2005 NSX-R GT is a Barn Find, which means you can't simply buy it. The car won't even appear on your map until you've collected the Yellow Stamp through the Discover Japan story progression. Once that stamp is in your collection, the Barn Find rumor triggers and the car's location is marked on your map.
Here's the exact sequence:
- Progress through Discover Japan until the Yellow Stamp unlocks.
- The Barn Find rumor for the NSX-R GT will appear automatically.
- Follow the map marker to the car's location.
- Restore the car to add it to your garage.
You cannot skip straight to the Barn Find. The Yellow Stamp is gated behind Discover Japan story progress, so focus on that first if the NSX-R GT is your target.
The restored NSX-R GT carries no CR value in the traditional sense since its value is listed as "Restored" rather than a credit price. That makes it one of the free cars in the game, provided you put in the story work to unlock it. For a full breakdown of every vehicle you can unlock without spending credits, the complete Forza Horizon 6 car unlock guide covers the entire roster.
How to get the Honda NSX-R (1992)
The 1992 NSX-R is the simpler of the two. It's an Epic-rarity car available directly from the Autoshow for 450,000 CR. No story gates, no stamps required. If you have the credits, you can grab it at any point in the game.
If 450,000 CR feels steep early on, prioritize money-farming activities before buying. The NSX-R isn't going anywhere.
Forza Horizon 6 Guide: How to Get Honda NSX-R
Which NSX-R should you get first?
The 2005 NSX-R GT is the stronger car across almost every metric, and it's free if you progress Discover Japan. That makes it the obvious priority. The 1992 NSX-R is worth picking up later if you want a lower PI option for B 572 events, or if you just want the full Honda NSX collection in your garage.
If you're still building your car collection and want to see what else Honda has in the game, there are over 20 Honda models confirmed in Forza Horizon 6, ranging from the Honda Beat (1991) to the Honda Civic Type R (2023). The full Forza Horizon 6 car list covers every vehicle by class and unlock method.
Both NSX-R variants are classified as Retro Sports Cars and run on Street Tires by default. Upgrading tires is one of the first tuning changes worth making if you plan to push either car hard in competitive events.
What else is worth chasing in the Honda lineup?
Honda's roster in FH6 goes well beyond the NSX-R. The Honda NSX-R (2005) (non-GT variant) is also in the game as a separate car, and the Honda S2000 (2003) and Honda Civic Type R models across multiple years round out a strong JDM selection. For players working through the Welcome to Japan playlist content, there are specific seasonal rewards worth tracking.
