Earn 15 Winter Season PTS in the City Life Festival Playlist to unlock the 1987 Fiat Panda in Forza Horizon 6.
The Panda’s reward window runs from November 19 to November 26, 2026. Installing the City Life update does not immediately unlock it, and its Playlist requirement is separate from the update’s paid Car Pass cars. Focus on the correct seasonal milestone first, then check its stock specifications before entering an event. The Auction House offers another acquisition route if a player lists one.
How many Winter Season PTS unlock the Fiat Panda?
The Panda requires 15 PTS earned during Winter. Complete activities in that season’s Festival Playlist, then claim the car from its reward milestone. You do not need to complete the entire seasonal Playlist to reach this threshold.
City Life reduces the points required for new Playlist cars. Its seasonal new-car milestones require fewer points than before, while the series-wide reward has a separate target. Read the season name alongside the reward car so you work toward the correct total.
When can you earn the Fiat Panda?
The City Life Festival Playlist starts on November 5 at 2:30 p.m. UTC and runs until December 3. The Panda appears in its third seasonal week, not at the beginning of the series. As of November 5, its reward window has not opened.
The schedule below separates the Panda’s week from the surrounding seasonal rewards and the series-wide Honda reward.
| Reward car | Playlist period | Availability in 2026 | Required PTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Citroën Ami | Summer | November 5 to November 12 | 15 seasonal PTS |
| 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde | Autumn | November 12 to November 19 | 15 seasonal PTS |
| 1987 Fiat Panda | Winter | November 19 to November 26 | 15 seasonal PTS |
| 1966 Hillman Imp | Spring | November 26 to December 3 | 15 seasonal PTS |
| 2016 Honda S660 Alpha | Full City Life series | November 5 to December 3 | 60 series PTS |
The Panda uses a seasonal milestone. Earning points during Summer or Autumn does not replace its Winter requirement, even though those activities contribute toward the series total.
Unlock steps
- Install the City Life update.
- Open Festival Playlist and find the City Life series.
- During the Panda’s reward window, open the Winter Season.
- Complete Winter Playlist activities until the seasonal total reaches the car’s milestone.
- Return to the Panda reward and claim it.
For other cars you want to collect alongside the Panda, the Forza Horizon 6 car list and unlock guide covers their acquisition methods.
How to prepare for the Winter Playlist
City Life adds a Festival Playlist filter to the Garage and Autoshow menus. It displays the active Playlist’s special restrictions, with a toggle for each restriction. Use it to find an eligible car before buying or selecting a vehicle for an activity.
Check restrictions before spending credits on upgrades. A car’s manufacturer or appearance alone does not establish whether it meets an event’s entry rules.
Filter cars for Playlist events
Use your chosen solo championship difficulty
Solo Seasonal Championships now use your chosen difficulty. If a solo championship is part of your points plan, select a difficulty you can complete consistently instead of assuming it has a fixed setting.
The reduced reward thresholds are intended to make new cars easier to earn, including for players without access to the game’s online content. Review the Winter activities you can enter and their displayed point rewards before choosing your route to the milestone.
Can you buy the Fiat Panda instead?
The Auction House is the alternative purchase route. You can buy or bid on a Panda through a player listing, but this depends on someone offering the car.
| Acquisition route | What you need | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Festival Playlist | Complete the Panda’s Winter milestone | A scheduled reward earned through seasonal activities |
| Auction House | An available player listing and enough credits | Availability and price depend on the listing |
The Panda’s listed vehicle value is 250,000 CR. That figure is not a guaranteed Auction House purchase price, so check the actual listing before bidding or buying.

Do you need Car Pass?
No. The Panda is a Festival Playlist reward, not a Car Pass delivery. Owning Deluxe Edition, Premium Edition, or the Premium Upgrade does not replace its seasonal unlock requirement.
The Car Pass car arriving on November 19 is the 1983 Nissan 240RS. If you own Premium Edition and are checking which cars should arrive automatically, the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition bonus content guide explains that separate reward system.
What are the Fiat Panda’s stock specifications?
The Panda is a low-powered city car in the Cult Cars category. Its stock configuration combines a small naturally aspirated engine with all-wheel drive, so check both its performance index and an event’s vehicle restrictions before entering.
What is its stock class and PI?
The Panda starts at D 141. Its collection rarity is Common, while its acquisition classification is Hard-to-Find. Rarity and availability describe different properties, so Common does not mean it can be obtained through every reward system.
Does the Fiat Panda have AWD?
Yes. The Panda has AWD in its stock configuration, with the engine mounted at the front. You do not need a drivetrain conversion to get four-wheel drive.
| Mechanical specification | Stock configuration |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.00L naturally aspirated inline-four |
| Engine position | Front |
| Drivetrain | AWD |
| Transmission | Five-speed |
| Weight | 790 kg (1,742 lb) |
| Weight distribution | 60% front, 40% rear |
How much horsepower and torque does it have?
The stock engine produces 50 hp and 56 lb-ft of torque. Those figures describe the unmodified car, not an upgraded build or engine swap.
The displayed performance ratings give you another way to assess it before driving:
| Performance rating | Stock value |
|---|---|
| Speed | 3.1 |
| Handling | 4.3 |
| Acceleration | 2.2 |
| Launch | 4.4 |
| Braking | 3.0 |
| Offroad | 6.2 |
Review the Panda's stock ratings
Offroad is its highest displayed rating, while acceleration is its lowest. Its stock numbers favor collecting a small AWD car over choosing it for outright speed.
If you want another small car while waiting for the Panda’s reward week, the Forza Horizon 6 Nissan Figaro guide covers that car’s Treasure Car location.
Before modifying your Panda, compare the event’s class limit and vehicle restrictions with its stock configuration. Keep it unmodified for your first drive if you want to judge the original engine and AWD setup.
