Festival Playlist
A track day is not a track day without a speedy companion to rush through corners in, or to floor its gas pedal on straights. This time, the Festival Playlist reward cars feature a collection of some of the finest, modern Porsches you are going to want to unlock and take on a beautiful tour of every track available at the Horizon Festival.
2017 Porsche #92 Porsche GT Team 911 RSR
The mid-engine endurance racer from Porsche took home gold in 2018 from the FIA World Endurance Championship, with amazing wins at the 6 Hours of Fuji and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Now, it takes on the challenges of the Horizon Festival. Propelled by a 3.9-liter flat-six engine that produces 504 bhp and 360 lb-ft of torque, this car has earned 4 Teams’ Championships, 2 Constructors’ Championships, and 5 Drivers’ Championships. Become a part of Porsche’s legacy by dominating every race you can find in this iconic piece of endurance racing history.
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The best bits of the 911 cranked up to 11 create a performance focused version of one of the world’s favorite GT racers: the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a superb partner for any track day. The highly exclusive GT3 RS comes with a 4-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 518 bhp and reaches 100 kph in just beyond 3 seconds. Porsche’s engineering masterminds brought ideas birthed in F1 and other racing divisions into the GT3 RS as seen on the adjustable rear wing and turbo body that allows maximum airflow and 88 pounds more downforce. Every material found in this car, including the windows, is lightweight and its design with dynamic aerodynamics makes the most out of an already great engine. From its conception, the GT3 RS was built to become the king of the track.
2023 Porsche 911 Rallye
Who said tracks were tarmac only? Not the 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye. This car has all the bits and pieces that make 911s great, and an amazing rally modification package. The rally modifications start with a new suspension that has been lifted around 2 inches and can be lifted 1.2 more if needed. New Pirelli Scorpion tires were fitted into the Rallye to improve performance on rough terrain and to resist punctures among other inconveniences that arise with off roading adventures. According to Porsche, this car can reach 100 kph in just over 3 seconds and has a top speed of 241 kph all thanks to a mighty twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine:, the same one you can find on a Carrera GTS.
Nothing makes a track day better than spending quality time with our friend dirt. Unlock the 911 Rallye and take on a wildly different concept of a track!
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R
Who’s ready for some endurance racing? What better way to spend a track day than going round and round the Oval Track Stadium in a car designed to be taken to the limit: the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 R. The engine fitted in this car had a growth spurt over the summer and is now a 4.2-liter flat-six, direct injection engine that can put out 565 bhp. To make the most of this engine, Porsche made the car lighter using carbon fiber panels and an aluminum-steel body and improved its handling with fifth-generation ABS software, an elevated underbody, and traction control system upgrades. The GT3 R is not only here to run, but also here to steal the gold, whatever it takes.
2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935
In celebration of its legendary 935/78 Le Mans racecar, Porsche reignited the storied legacy of the often dubbed “Moby Dick” with the all-new 2019 Porsche #70 935. While its heritage is deeply rooted in motorsport, the car itself isn’t homologated for competition, which gave its engineers and designers the freedom to create something truly special. Porsche DNA is written all over this car with technology based on the 911 GT2 RS, rear wing endplate LEDs from the 919 Hybrid LMP1, side mirrors taken from the 911 RSR, and exposed titanium tailpipes modelled on the 1968 908. Its 3.8-litre 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine is also nearly identical to the unit found in the 911 GT2 RS and can produce 700-horsepower with increased downforce courtesy of all-new aerodynamics. While only 77 units have been produced and are already naturally spoken for, Forza Horizon 5 players can join those lucky buyers in getting their hands on the 959’s robust carbon wheel, fittingly inspired by the 2019 911 GT3 R.
