Series 3 gives Horizon players more control over how they build a garage instead of leaving everything to random spins and one-off events. The Italian Exotics Festival runs from July 16 to August 13, mixing seasonal challenges, dealership stock, and market changes into one busy month. If you've been waiting for a reason to chase rare FH6 Cars, there's a lot more choice here than the usual grind.

What Makes the Italian Exotics Festival Different

This isn't just a playlist with a few cars at the end. It's a four-season route where every completed activity pushes you toward bigger Series prizes.

You can focus on what suits you, too. Race events, PR stunts, championships, and side objectives all help, so you're not locked into one boring routine.

1. Build Playlist Points Across Four Seasons

This route is for players who like earning cars through regular play. Keep checking the seasonal tab, clear what you can, and the larger prizes start looking very reachable.

Here's what the reward path includes.

• Reaching 80 Playlist Points unlocks the 2024 Lamborghini Temerario, a new-school supercar with the pace and visual drama you'd expect from Lamborghini.

• Hitting 160 Points earns the 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB, giving collectors another modern Italian hybrid performance machine for road and circuit builds.

• Summer brings the 1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 and 2004 Maserati MC12, pairing old-school V8 tuning with one of Italy's best-known track weapons.

• Autumn, Winter, and Spring add the 2017 Abarth 124 Spider, 2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO, 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale, Ferrari Roma, Huracán EVO Spyder, and Pagani Huayra R.

The seasonal cars aren't all aimed at the same driver. The Abarth is a fun little roadster, the Lancia needs confident rear-wheel-drive control, and the Huayra R is built for people who enjoy serious circuit laps.

2. Use New Garage Routes Beyond Wheelspins

This branch suits collectors who are tired of hoping a Wheelspin lands on the right car. Series 3 makes a few previously awkward vehicles much easier to target.

Watch these new options.

• The Italian Aftermarket dealership now sells selected former Wheelspin-exclusive cars near the western stadium, sometimes below the prices players expect.

• Rotating dealership stock means it's worth checking in before spending huge credits at auction, especially when you're after a missing collection car.

• The new Car Pass releases four vehicles over four weeks: the Aston Martin DB7 GT, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium, and Honda Z GT.

• Premium Edition players also receive the Italian Passion Car Pack with the Ferrari F80, Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, and Alfa Romeo SE 048SP.

The dealership change matters more than it first appears. It gives you a predictable buying route, which is a lot less frustrating than burning spins or refreshing auctions for hours.

3. Read the Auction House and Rivals Changes

This part is aimed at players who buy, sell, tune, and chase leaderboard times. The update shifts both the credit economy and the competitive side of Horizon.

Keep these changes in mind.

• Credit caps have been removed for cars that aren't available through the Auto Show, allowing rare models to sell for prices closer to actual player demand.

• Higher possible sale prices should encourage more listings, though desirable reward cars may still become expensive during the first days of each season.

• Rivals leaderboards have been reset to clear cheated times and account for the recent Drag Tire balance adjustments.

• Fresh boards give clean drivers a better shot at setting meaningful times before the quickest specialists settle into the top spots again.

Don't throw credits at the first listing you see. Compare auction prices with the Italian Aftermarket stock, then decide whether the convenience is worth the extra cost.

Which Series 3 Route Should You Choose

Play the Playlist if you want the Temerario, 296 GTB, and seasonal exclusives; visit the dealership if Wheelspin luck has been cruel; use auctions when a rare car simply won't appear elsewhere. For players who'd rather get straight into the builds and events they want, you can also pick up Forza Horizon 6 Cars through U4GM before heading back to Mexico's roads.
