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 1973 Mazda RX-3 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. 1973 Mazda RX-3 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.
1970s emissions and oil-shock politics shaped which engines made production. Mazda's contemporary roster reflects that turbulence — and Forza Horizon preserves the era through restored examples in the Classic Sports tier.
In-Game Classification
1973 Mazda RX-3 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 RX-3 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 Mazda Sits in Forza Horizon 6
Mazda contributes a substantial slice of the Forza Horizon 6 vehicle catalog. The RX-3 fits into that broader Mazda 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.
