Festival Playlist
Hidden Horizons's rewards feature an all-round collection of cars to take on any terrain. Try track superstars and rally legends, all unlockable in each of the next four weeks and solve the mystery of which one is the fastest around our roads.
1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR
The first Reward Car available to unlock this series is a highly regarded rally legend. Solve off-roading mysteries with the 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR. Equipped with an all-wheel drive system and built to be lightweight, this car handles like a dream on road and off it as well. Furthermore, the reduced weight helped the car make the most out of its 2.0 turbocharged engine, allowing it to reach 100 kph in 5.1 seconds. The Evo III is a car that’s used to podiums having earned two second place finishes in the Constructors Championship in 1995 and 1996 as well as a first-place finish in the WRC Driver’s Championship at the hands of Tommi Mäkinen. Do not break its tradition and keep earning wins in the Evo III at the Horizon Festival!
2010 Rossion Q1
The most fun you can get from a box with the label “assembly required” has a name, and that is 2010 Rossion Q1. This unhinged DIY super car is super sizzling to be put onto the track and run like there’s no tomorrow. The Q1’s recommended engine, a Ford twin-turbocharged Duratec V6 engine, puts out 508 bhp and, much like its predecessor (the Noble M400), it can spew some gasping times on the track such as its 0-100 kmh clocking in at 3.4 seconds. This car will be available as a reward for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist, and luckily, you will not have to lift a single wrench to start doing laps around Mexico.
1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo
The reward for the Winter Season of Hidden Horizons is one of the smoothest JDMs ever made. Make room in your garage for the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo. This version of the Chaser sports a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine that is, of course, turbocharged. The 1JZ-GTE engine can produce 276 bhp and 268 lb-ft of torque. This car’s other highlights include its amazing drive, courtesy of a phenomenal suspension that includes a limited-slip differential on the rear, and its front-engine/rear drive build that provides a ton of balance. Have a go at creating your perfect street racer with the GT Twin Turbo!
2013 Volvo C30 Polestar
One of Volvo’s most exclusive builds arrives at the Horizon Festival this series. A front-wheel drive, 250 horsepowered, ready-to-race version of the C30: the 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar. The source of all its power? Elementary, my dear reader! It's a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine tuned by Volvo’s long-time partner in making things fast, Polestar. To make the look match the inside, this car was fitted with a new, more aerodynamic bodykit, and a striking blue color. Polestar also added new brakes and stiffer springs to upgrade the driving experience. Only 250 units of this car saw the light of day in America; get a hold of yours and discover the mystery of its performance!
