Forza Horizon 6 has only been in players’ hands for a short time, but the anime crowd has already done what the anime crowd always does best: turn perfectly normal cars into full-on rolling tribute machines.
And honestly, siapa terkejut? Racing games and anime liveries have been locked in for years. Whether it is real-world itasha builds at car meets or Super GT machines covered in character art, the overlap between car culture and ACG fandom is very real. Forza Horizon 6 is just giving that energy a huge digital playground.
According to Dexerto, players are already sharing custom designs based on Hatsune Miku, Umamusume, and even Zenless Zone Zero. Since the Forza Horizon series lets players customise cars with detailed paint jobs and vinyl work, the community has wasted no time turning the game’s roads into an anime-themed showcase.
Umamusume cars are already on the grid
One of the early waves comes from Umamusume fans. Designs inspired by characters like Kitasan Black, Gold Ship, Satono Diamond, and Oguri Cap have started circulating, complete with share codes so other players can download and use them.
It is a very funny fit, but also kind of perfect. Umamusume is already built around racing spirit, rivalries, and going all-in for the win, so seeing those characters slapped onto sports cars in Forza Horizon 6 makes weirdly good sense. If someone pulls up behind you in a Gold Ship-themed car before flying past, you cannot even be mad. That is lore-accurate behaviour.
For Malaysian and SEA players, this is also the kind of thing that makes the online side of Forza more fun than just chasing lap times. We have a big anime crowd, a growing sim-racing scene, and plenty of car culture fans who appreciate a loud wrap. These liveries are basically digital itasha builds without needing to spend real RM on vinyl, detailing, or explaining to your parents why there is an anime girl on your car door.
Hatsune Miku joins the race too
Hatsune Miku was never going to sit this one out. Players have already created Miku-themed cars, including Racing Miku-inspired designs and other variants shared for cars like the Fairlady Z and GT86.
Miku fits racing culture especially well because Racing Miku has been a long-running part of real motorsport fandom. So when she appears in Forza Horizon 6, it does not feel random. It feels like the community continuing a tradition, just in a more chaotic open-world racing sandbox.
For local fans, expect these kinds of liveries to spread fast through Discord groups, TikTok clips, and Facebook gaming communities. Custom anime cars are very screenshot-friendly, and Forza players love flexing clean builds as much as they love flexing fast ones.
Zenless Zone Zero also gets some love
The anime takeover is not stopping at older favourites either. Dexerto also highlighted Zenless Zone Zero-inspired designs featuring Jane Doe and Ellen Joe. These builds reportedly lean into ZZZ’s urban style, with graffiti-like details and bright colour choices that match the game’s street-fashion energy.
That is probably the coolest part of this trend: players are not just pasting characters onto doors and calling it a day. The better designs try to match the whole vibe of the character or series, whether that means idol racing colours, horse-girl chaos, or stylish city-pop cyberpunk energy.
Forza Horizon 6 may be a racing game first, but moments like this show why community creativity matters. The cars become fandom signals. You are not just driving a tuned machine; you are telling everyone in the lobby exactly what anime, game, or waifu you are backing.
If this is what players are making less than a week in, the livery browser is going to become dangerously distracting. One minute you are searching for a clean race build, the next you are downloading a Hatsune Miku car because, bro, it looks too good to ignore.
