The new car drop feels less like a routine reward this time. The DB7 GT gives the garage some much-needed old-school flavour, while the STO is back to remind everyone why modern Lamborghinis can be such a headache to race against. If you've been browsing FH6 Cars, these two are a proper contrast: one wants a fast road, the other wants every apex in sight.
The DB7 GT Has More Bite Than Expected
At stock power, the Aston Martin DB7 GT isn't the car that screams for attention. It cruises. It looks right doing it, too. That long bonnet and the slightly reserved body shape still work better than most modern retro designs. Then you start upgrading it and things get weird, in a good way. Twin turbos, stiffer suspension, wider tyres, a lower ride height. Suddenly the grand tourer is throwing itself out of corners with far more urgency. The V12 doesn't lose all its character either. Even after serious work, there's still a bit of that old Aston growl underneath.
Three Things Worth Trying First
1. Lower the car before fitting any visual parts.
2. Use wider wheels, but keep the classic wheel design.
3. Test turbo power on fast roads before choosing race tyres.
The awkward bit is aero. The huge rear wing may help a leaderboard build, sure, but it looks pasted onto the DB7.
Two Cars, Very Different Jobs
There's no real need to pretend these cars overlap. The Aston is better when you want to tune, experiment, and make something personal. The STO arrives almost ready for trouble. Here's the quick garage-level comparison players have been making after a few wet races and mountain runs.
| Car | Best trait | Road feel |
|---|---|---|
| Aston Martin DB7 GT | V12 character | Fast GT cruiser |
| Lamborghini Huracán STO | Corner grip | Sharp track weapon |
The table only tells part of it. On a damp technical route, the STO feels calmer, quicker, and much easier to trust when the road suddenly tightens.
Why the STO Steals the Session
1. Brake later without the rear getting nervous.
2. Carry more speed through wet bends.
3. Exit corners hard with barely any drama.
The STO's sound won't please everyone. Some players reckon it lacks the raw edge they expected, and that's fair. Still, once the tyres are loaded up through a long corner, nobody's really thinking about the exhaust note. The grip is the headline. It turns in cleanly, stays planted over rough patches, and gives you confidence early in a race rather than halfway through it. The modified DB7 can be quick, but it needs more patience. Miss the throttle timing and it'll remind you that it began life as a grand tourer.
Playlist Rewards and Garage Oddities
The update hasn't been completely smooth. A few garages have hit capacity right when rewards are ready to claim, which is a pretty annoying problem for collectors. There have also been black exhaust flames on certain cars and some strange bouncing around parts of the festival site. Most of it seems temporary. Drive for a while, reload the area, and the visual glitches often disappear. More importantly, the seasonal rotation is bringing back cars people missed the first time around. Italian dealership offers, Playlist prizes, and returning rare machines make weekly challenges worth checking instead of ignoring.
Make Room Before the Next Drop
That's really the lesson from this update: clear a few garage slots before claiming everything. The DB7 GT is the one to build slowly and enjoy on a relaxed run; the STO is the obvious pick when you just want to chase lap times. With more seasonal exclusives likely on the way, players chasing rare rewards may also keep an eye on Forza Horizon 6 Super Wheelspins while they sort out their next garage space.
