With only 158 bhp on tap, favour a close gearbox and a light, neutral setup so you can keep the S20 on the boil through corners instead of chasing top speed.

Overview
The Hakosuka is the boxy first-generation Skyline GT-R, the car that turned three letters into a legend. Its 2.0 litre S20 straight six was effectively a detuned race engine, happiest singing near the redline, and in Forza Horizon 6 it keeps that same high-strung character. At C class it is no straight-line weapon, but a feathery 1100 kg kerb weight and tidy rear-drive balance make it a delight on the tighter Japanese routes where momentum beats horsepower.

FAQ
- What class is the 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R in Forza Horizon 6?
- It runs in C class at 545 PI in stock form, a rear-wheel-drive classic that rewards smooth, momentum-led driving. A few light upgrades can lift it into B class if you want more pace.
- Is the Hakosuka good for drifting?
- It can be coaxed into a slide, but with 158 bhp and a narrow power band it takes commitment. Most players enjoy it more as a nimble grip car, then build power and fit a locked diff if they specifically want a retro drift machine.
- Why is it nicknamed the Hakosuka?
- Hakosuka is Japanese shorthand for roughly 'boxy Skyline', from hako (box) and suka (Skyline). It refers to this early 1970s generation, the first model to wear the GT-R badge.
