Fan Wishlist: Hot Wheels Expansion for Forza Horizon 6

Hot Wheels has always been a fan-favorite in the Forza Horizon series, appearing in FH3 and FH5 with insane orange tracks, gravity-defying loops, and cars that feel like they jumped straight out of a toy store.

Hot Wheels has always been a fan-favorite in the Forza Horizon series, appearing in FH3 and FH5 with insane orange tracks, gravity-defying loops, and cars that feel like they jumped straight out of a toy store. Now, with Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan, fans are buzzing with the idea of a Hot Wheels expansion—but opinions are split. Some want something completely new, while others hope for a nostalgic twist. If Playground Games decides to bring the Hot Wheels magic back, here’s a dream wishlist for the ultimate expansion.

1. Verticality & New Track Tech

Hot Wheels is all about insane tracks, and FH6 could push it even further:

  • Zero-G Zones – Imagine full inversions where your car sticks to the track only through speed and momentum. Loops, corkscrews, and wall rides become even more intense.
  • Liquid Tracks – Tracks made of slime, water, or oil that affect handling differently than the classic plastic. It would force players to rethink speed versus control.
  • Interactive Hazards – Bring back classic playset vibes with moving obstacles like giant gorillas, T-Rexes, or swinging hammers that can knock cars off course.

2. The "Must-Have" Die-cast Cars

Fans want to see both classic and modern Hot Wheels cars:

  • Deora II – A legendary Hot Wheels car that was oddly absent in FH5.
  • Slingshot – Perfect for fans of the World Race and Acceleracers era.
  • Prototype 12 – Sleek, futuristic, and fast; a fan favorite in real life.
  • Custom Fantasy Body Kits – Imagine adding Hot Wheels-style oversized blowers, exhausts, and side-pipes to your real-world cars. A fun mix of toy flair and real driving.

3. Deep Track Builder Integration

Instead of only racing on pre-built loops, players could:

  • Snap track pieces anywhere on the main map (Japan seems likely).
  • Build custom events for friends or online competitions.
  • Mix vertical loops, hazards, and interactive elements for truly unique tracks.

This would make the expansion feel like a sandbox, not just a set of challenges.

4. Pocket-Sized Scale Mode

A “Honey, I Shrunk the Cars” mode could let players:

  • Race through oversized bedrooms, backyards, or even kitchen counters.
  • Dodge massive pets, hoses, and furniture.
  • Lean fully into the toy aesthetic instead of relying solely on high-altitude loops.

It’s playful, imaginative, and pure Hot Wheels fun.

5. Progression: "The Collection"

Hot Wheels is all about collecting, and FH6 could mirror that:

  • Open virtual blister packs to unlock cars.
  • Treasure Hunt cars, special editions, or rare variants could reward skill and exploration.
  • Build a career mode around collecting, racing, and upgrading your toy-inspired garage.

A Hot Wheels expansion in Forza Horizon 6 could perfectly blend nostalgia with modern mechanics. From insane vertical tracks to collectible die-cast cars and sandbox building, the possibilities are huge. Even if Playground Games decides to skip it, fans can dream—and the wishlist above shows just how wild and creative a Hot Wheels world could get in Japan.
