Forza Horizon 6 Guide | How to Get Treasure Cars

If you want to expand your garage without spending Credits, Treasure Cars are some of the best collectibles to find in Forza Horizon 6. These hidden vehicles are scattered across Japan and can be claimed for free by following photographic clues. 

There are nine permanent Treasure Cars, with one hidden in each major region. Unlike Barn Finds, Treasure Cars do not require a lengthy restoration process—you find the vehicle, interact with it, and add it to your collection. 

What Are Treasure Cars in Forza Horizon 6? 

Treasure Cars are hidden vehicles placed at specific locations across the Forza Horizon 6 map. Each is connected to a photograph clue showing the car and nearby landmarks.

The challenge is figuring out where the photograph was taken. The clues can point toward locations such as bridges, golf courses, coastal roads, wind farms, and other recognizable landmarks. 

How Treasure Cars Work 

Once you are close enough to a Treasure Car's location, the game provides the clue. Use the background details in the image to identify the correct area, then drive to the vehicle. 

After finding it, interact with the car to trigger a short sequence with Mei. The vehicle is then added to your garage and can be used immediately. 

How to Unlock Treasure Cars 

The good news is that Treasure Cars are much easier to unlock than Barn Finds. They do not require you to reach a specific Discover Japan level before you can collect them. 

Follow the Photo Clue 

Pay close attention to objects in the background of the photograph. Buildings, roads, mountains, bridges, wind turbines, and other landmarks are often the key to locating the car.

You can also use the map's region boundaries to narrow down your search rather than driving randomly across Japan. 

Drive to the Location 

Once you identify the landmark, travel to the area in Free Roam. When you reach the correct spot, look for the hidden vehicle and interact with it. 

You do not need to purchase the car, complete a race, or wait for restoration. It becomes yours after you claim it.

Best Tips for Finding Treasure Cars 

Treasure Car clues can be deliberately vague, so using the environment around the clue is important.

Look for Unique Landmarks 

Instead of searching an entire region, identify the most unusual object shown in the photograph. A wind turbine, bridge, waterfall, or distinctive building can reduce the search area considerably. 

Use the Map 

Open the map and study roads, landmarks, and region boundaries before driving. Switching between the map and clue image can help you match the terrain and structures shown in the photograph. 

Search Off the Main Roads 

Some Treasure Cars are tucked away from normal routes. Check dirt paths, parking areas, coastal trails, and areas behind buildings if the main road doesn't reveal anything. 

Treasure Cars vs. Barn Finds 

Treasure Cars may look similar to Barn Finds, but the two systems work differently. 

Treasure Cars 

Treasure Cars are found using photographic clues and can be collected without the restoration wait associated with Barn Finds. Once you locate one, it is essentially ready to add to your garage. 

Barn Finds 

Barn Finds are another collectible car system and generally use different progression requirements. Because of this, finding Treasure Cars is a useful way to add rare vehicles while continuing your normal exploration. 

What Do You Get for Finding Every Treasure Car? 

The biggest reward is the cars themselves. All nine Treasure Cars are free, and completing the collection also contributes toward the game's Treasure Hunter achievement. 

For collectors, completing all nine is particularly worthwhile because these vehicles are tied to their specific Treasure Car locations rather than normal purchases from the Autoshow. 

Final Thought 

Treasure Cars are one of the easiest ways to grow your Forza Horizon 6 garage while exploring the game's massive Japanese map. The key is to study each photograph, identify the landmark, narrow down the region, and search the surrounding roads and paths. 

With nine Treasure Cars available, completing the collection is a great side activity for both new players and longtime Forza fans. If a clue seems confusing, don't waste time searching the entire map—focus on the unique landmarks shown in the image and work outward from there.
