FH6: Ferrari FXX-K Evo vs Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro – Which R-Class Car is Better?

TL;DR

• Ferrari FXX-K Evo (R-998 PI) is the best all-round R-Class car in FH6 — higher PI, better acceleration and launch.
• Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro (R-989 PI) is the handling and braking specialist — perfect for sweeping roads and technical circuits.
• FXX-K Evo wins on most road races, drag, and general use.
• Valkyrie AMR Pro wins on long, smooth circuit layouts where precision matters most.
• Both cost over 4 million credits — plan ahead or check unlock methods before buying.

Ferrari FXX-K Evo vs Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is one of the biggest R-Class debates in Forza Horizon 6. These two cars sit at the very top of the brand-new R-Class tier, and choosing the wrong one for your race type can cost you wins. This guide breaks down every stat, every strength, and every situation where one beats the other.

What Is R-Class in Forza Horizon 6?

R-Class is completely new to the Forza Horizon series. It sits above S2 and is reserved for track-built monsters — prototypes, LMP machines, factory race cars, and purpose-built specials. These are not just fast road cars. They are engineered for circuits, and they behave very differently from anything in the classes below.

Quick summary: The Ferrari FXX-K Evo wins 7 of the 13 contested categories. The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro wins 3. Three are tied. If you can only pick one, the FXX-K Evo is the right call for most players. If you want a specialist circuit car and can unlock it free, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is worth having alongside it.

Real-World Background

2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo

The Ferrari FXX-K Evo is a track-only evolution of the LaFerrari. It produces 1,036 hp from a 6.3L V12 hybrid powertrain. Ferrari unveiled it in 2017 as an upgrade package for existing FXX K owners. The Evo version increases downforce by 23% over the standard FXX K — and by up to 75% over the LaFerrari itself. It is not road legal. It was never meant to be.

2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro

The Valkyrie AMR Pro is the track-only version of a car that was already extreme. It is powered by a Cosworth-built 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 producing 1,000 hp. In the real world, it weighs just 2,370 lb — 600 lb lighter than the standard road-going Valkyrie. It generates more than 3G of lateral force through corners. Only 25 units were ever built. Every single one was sold before deliveries began.

Ferrari FXX-K Evo vs Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro – Race Type Breakdown

Road Racing

The Ferrari FXX-K Evo wins here. Its higher acceleration and launch stats mean it gets out of corners faster and builds speed more aggressively. It works well across most road layouts — long straights, fast sweepers, and wide circuits. It is the most consistent R-Class pick for road events in the game. The one thing to avoid is Tokyo’s tight, bumpy city streets. Save the FXX-K Evo for longer highway and circuit races. For street-heavy sessions, drop to a tuned S2 instead.

For more on this, see our guide to the best roads and mountain passes in FH6.

Touge Battles

Touge is where things get closer. Both cars share the same 9.4 handling score and perfect braking. The FXX-K Evo has a slight edge because of its higher launch stat — getting out of tight hairpins faster is a big deal on touge runs. That said, the Valkyrie AMR Pro’s slightly lower PI means it may be a better match in restricted-class touge events. Clean lines matter more than raw speed on these roads.

Check the best cars for touge battles guide for a wider comparison, and see specific touge route breakdowns at Bandai Azuma Touge, Hakone Nanamagari Touge, and Mt. Haruna Touge.

Circuit and Track Events

On smooth, flowing circuits with long sweeping corners, the Valkyrie AMR Pro is an excellent pick. It rewards smooth inputs and clean racing lines. It is one of the most forgiving R-Class cars if you scrub a barrier mid-corner. Think of it as a circuit specialist. On tracks with lots of short straights and frequent direction changes, the FXX-K Evo’s better acceleration means it pulls away more often.

Speed Traps and Speed Zones

The FXX-K Evo is the better pick here. Its higher acceleration and launch mean it builds speed faster through zones. The Valkyrie AMR Pro’s 7.9 speed stat means it will not compete as well on long straights where top-end velocity is what counts. For full details on this, see the best cars for speed traps and speed zones guide.

PR Stunts

Both cars perform well in PR Stunts but the FXX-K Evo has a slight edge given its higher PI and launch. The danger sign at the Airfield Takeoff is a good example of where launch and acceleration matter most. For a full overview of all stunt types, see our PR Stunts guide.

Drag Racing

The FXX-K Evo is clearly better for drag. Its 9.4 launch stat versus the Valkyrie AMR Pro’s 8.6 is a significant gap on a drag strip. However, neither of these is the top drag choice in the game overall. See our best drag cars guide if drag racing is your primary focus.

Welcome Pack Version vs Standard Version

There are two versions of the Ferrari FXX-K Evo in FH6. The base Autoshow version costs 4,500,000 CR. The Welcome Pack version — included with Deluxe and Premium editions — comes pre-tuned to R-998 PI. It has better speed, acceleration, and launch than the standard car, and it can be bought for just 250,000 CR if you own the Welcome Pack. The stats listed in this article use the Welcome Pack version since it is the meta pick. If you only have the standard version, the stats are slightly lower but the car is still excellent.

The Welcome Pack also includes the 2021 BMW M4 Competition, 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R, and the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR.

How to Get Both Cars

• Buy from the Autoshow for 4,500,000 CR (standard version)
• Welcome Pack version included with Deluxe or Premium editions at 250,000 CR

Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro

• Buy from the Autoshow for 4,200,000 CR
• Earnable for free as a Collection Journal reward in the Horizon Legend category — check this before spending credits

Tuning Both Cars

Both of these cars are RWD at stock. That means throttle control out of corners matters a lot. Sloppy inputs will spin you out. The FXX-K Evo is slightly more forgiving out of the box. The Valkyrie AMR Pro punishes mistakes harder but rewards clean driving with very stable high-speed cornering.

For both cars, a good tuning setup focuses on softening the rear suspension slightly and dialing in brake bias toward the front. This stops the rear stepping out under hard braking. See our full car tuning guide and mechanical balance system for details on how to set these up properly. The best settings guide is also worth checking if you have not optimised your controller or wheel setup yet.

Which Car Should You Buy?

Buy the Ferrari FXX-K Evo if:

• You want the best all-round R-Class car for most events
• You race a mix of road, circuit, and PR stunts
• You have the Welcome Pack and want the R-998 version for cheap
• Acceleration and launch are important to your race style

Buy the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro if:

• You prefer smooth, sweeping circuits over short-burst acceleration tracks
• You want a car that feels planted and precise at all times
• You can unlock it free via the Collection Journal and want to save 4.2 million credits
• You want the most forgiving R-Class car for online events and multiplayer

Other Top R-Class Alternatives

If neither of these fits your style, there are other strong R-Class options worth considering:

• Lotus Scura Motorsport Exige WTAC — Best for tight, technical tracks. See the Lotus Scura guide.
• Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 — High-speed downforce specialist. See the Essenza SCV12 guide.
• Zenvo TSR-S — Strong speed stat with excellent braking. See the Zenvo TSR-S guide.

Final Verdict

The Ferrari FXX-K Evo is the winner for most players. It is the highest-rated car in R-Class, has the best acceleration and launch in the head-to-head, and works in almost every race type. If you own the Welcome Pack, it becomes an even easier choice at just 250,000 CR.

The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is not worse — it is just different. It is the precision tool. On the right circuit with the right driver, it feels special. It also has a path to being completely free through the Collection Journal, which makes it one of the best value unlocks in the game.

For most players, the FXX-K Evo goes in the garage first. Then, once you have it, the Valkyrie AMR Pro earns its spot as your second R-Class car for events where track grip matters more than straight-line punch.
