Highly likely to return based on appearances in Forza Horizon 4 and 5; not yet officially announced for FH6 at the time of writing.
About the 1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R in Forza Horizon
Classic sports cars from this era share a recipe — light bodies, modest power, and steering linkages that talk to the driver before any electronic aid intervenes. 1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R sits in that tradition: rear-drive when the segment trended that way, with a kerb weight that lets cornering balance, not horsepower, define the lap time.
1980s electronics changed performance cars: fuel injection, programmable ignition, the first wave of OBD diagnostics. Nissan's late-decade releases reflect that, and Horizon's audio team often nails the throttle-blip character of these systems.
In-Game Classification
1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R sits in the Classic Sports bracket of the Forza Horizon car list. Stock-tune class C performance leaves room to upgrade either toward B with engine work, or stay in C with grip-focused parts.
The RWD drivetrain shapes how Skyline GTS-R responds to power and tire upgrades — every Forza Horizon entry rewards drivers who understand what their drivetrain layout means for weight transfer in corners.

Where Nissan Sits in Forza Horizon 6
Nissan contributes a substantial slice of the Forza Horizon 6 vehicle catalog. The Skyline GTS-R fits into that broader Nissan lineage — every entry on the wiki cross-references its in-game class, drivetrain, and country of origin to help players plan their Festival Playlist garage. For a Japan-built Classic Sports machine in the C class, this is one of the more interesting picks in the full 896-vehicle catalog.
