Unlock these four new reward cars by earning Accolades on each of the 12 Realms available in this new update. This collection of rewards comes with amazing power and perhaps more wheels than you expected.
The raging bull goes hybrid with the latest addition to its exotic hyper car collection: the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto.
The total power output of this car is the largest of any Lambo ever: 1001 bhp. 814 horsepower comes from the V12 engine set in the middle of the car, and the rest comes from three electric motors (two mounted on the front axles and one in the gearbox).
Rear-wheel steering and improved stability make the Revuelto handle corners like a breeze.
Plug into the madness of Lamborghini’s ultimate hybrid drive with the Lamborghini Revuelto.
Lamborghini takes to the dirt with the 2023 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato! The Italian brand’s icon of the roads gets off-roading modifications to take the dirt roads by storm.
The Huracán Sterrato marks a very important moment in time for Lamborghini. It is the last “special edition” of the Huracán; it is the last Lambo to use the iconic V10 engine; and it is the first time Lamborghini put a Rally button on a coupé.
The first noticeable changes come with adding a new air intake on the roof of the car and removing the side intakes to prevent the car from breathing too much dirt. Next comes a modified version of the classic V10 engine that puts out 601 horsepower!
Flip the off-road switch in the raging bull, available in Horizon Realms!
The ultimate Lotus experience has arrived at the Horizon Festival with the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430, an even stronger and loonier version of the Exige.
Hidden in plain sight within the car’s name is its first impressive stat: the horsepower. The Exige Cup 430 produces 430 horsepower dispatched by a 3.5-litre V6 engine. While that number might not sound crazy, when it’s paired up with the car’s extreme lightweight and improved downforce, the 430 reaches 100 kph in about 3.3 seconds.
Designed to fulfill your deepest track fantasies, the Exige Cup 430’s gorgeous design and crazy speed will not disappoint racing fans eager to dominate the courses of the Horizon Festival.
