Hidden among the 918 MB update earlier this week (that covered the inclusion of the Mobil 1 Car Pack, as well as numerous fixes to the game), Turn 10 has quietly snuck a Nissan Silvia into Forza Motorsport 6. Not the oft-requested S14 generation though: this is the first generation of the venerable nameplate, a model that only saw 554 units produced, all hand-built.
While not announced for the update, eagle-eyed players found the car in an unusual place: in the game’s career mode. Gamers will need to enter Volume 1 of the career, select any of the series, and then chose the Classic Compact division. Here, you can purchase a pre-tuned version of the CSP311, tuned to the top of E Class, though the parts can be removed afterwards. The car has a fully explorable ForzaVista model, and can have its bumpers removed.
This marks the third time in as many months a Nissan car has been included for free in the game’s title updates. The first month saw the Infiniti Q60 Concept, while last month saw the front-drive NISMO GT-R LM.
In addition to the Silvia, the title update includes the following changes:
CARS
- Various car adjustments, including improvements on cockpit camera position for a number of cars
- Fixed a bug where damage would be applied to the wrong part of the car
AUDIO
- Fixed an issue where voice chat would not work when Forza Motorsport 6 was running in snap mode
DRIVATAR
- Addressed issues that were causing Drivatar cars to dramatically pull away from the field during races
- Fixed an issue where “Drivatar Synch Percentage” was always showing as 0% on Hockenheim, Sonoma, and Monza
FREEPLAY
- Players can now choose car divisions to race against when playing in Freeplay mode
LIVERY/TUNING
- Fixed an issue where downloading a tune from a friend who has deleted that tune would cause the game to crash
MISCELLANEOUS
- Damage tab on telemetry will now show fuel level. Fuel level will be expressed as a percentage of the full tank.
- Players can now choose the language they wish would like to use in the game. In addition, we have added Hebrew and Arabic language support.

Damn you and your automotive goodness Forza! If only you weren’t so drifty with your physics, and weren’t on XBONE
Plus, it’s nice to lower a car and put some wide tyres on it. :)
I only found this car in GT6 a few months ago, it’s actually a great looking car (only a standard in GT…)
T10 really do have good taste with their car list, such a good selection
NICE!
SWEEEEET! I would never have noticed this. Please T10 more classic Japanese cars just like this! Love them!
