The 2023 KIA EV6 GT has the heart-and-home feel of an SUV that crosses the “GT” line on the sand to become a racing utility vehicle that’s as comfy as it is powerful.
Like a futuristic spaceship, EV6 GT features a green button on the steering wheel that unlocks its true power, transforming this changeling from urban driver into racing speedster able to go from 0 – 100 kmh in just 3.2 seconds using its surprising 576 bhp.
To keep you on your toes from the get-go, this KIA’s inside is adorned with racing interiors like the seats and trim, so even the tamest drives around the Festival will have the unique race-to-the-finish feel.
Did we mention it’s 4 wheel-drive and electric? Because it is and we love it.
2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
Galloping to the Horizon Festival with crashing footfalls; it’s the latest, biggest, and meanest horse we have seen: the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse.
As soon as you pop this car’s hood you will be greeted with a very delightful badge, one that says “5.0”. The emblem is not there only for decoration, it’s to remind you of the massive 5.0-liter V8 naturally aspirated Coyote engine that drives this car forward and powers it with 500 horsepower.
6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive to get the complete muscle car experience and an updated braking system to excel its performance on the track as well
Enjoy the reckless charge of the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse!
2023 Hyundai iONIQ 5 N
The future has arrived. Looking like your regular Sunday-drive SUV, but hiding a potent powertrain and futuristic technology, the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is an auspice for cars to come.
The all-electric powertrain will put its 320 bhp to work and to make the 5 N vanish right in front of your eyes as it reaches 100 kmh from a standstill in 4.5 seconds.
This new iONIQ is a great outdoors partner with an upgraded towing capacity, a great ride, and a minimalist interior design you’ll want to live in.
2021 Toyota GR Yaris
Running on sheer force of vigor and with a willingness to take you from point A to point B in the least number of seconds possible, the 2021 Toyota GR Yaris is taking its shot as your new favorite hot hatch.
The GR is quite hot, actually: a daredevilish four-wheel drive system to make quick work of corners, a very eager 2.1-liter turbocharged engine that puts out 257 bhp, and a six-speed manual transmission to experience corner taking like a true champion built to smash the giants of the track.
Drive around the Horizon Festival in the new benchmark for modern hatchbacks and create your own special build of the versatile vehicle.
2023 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S
Picture it: the echo of eons of Porsche's magnificent history added to modern electric technology and comfort of an all-wheel-drive SUV. You don’t have to imagine it anymore: it's the 2023 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S,: Porsche’s all-electric sports utility vehicle.
As the name implies, this Taycan shares a lot of aspects and components with its sedan counterpart. However, the electric SUV comes with two engines that output 750 horses as soon as you touch that pedal. You will cruise so comfortably inside; you’d probably forget that this vehicle can reach 100 kmh in just 2.4 seconds.
Porsche reaps the past by adding elements of its racing legacy into this model which perfectly contrasts with the new generation additions such as touch screens and, of course, the completely modern electric power train bringing the racing history of the brand into the modern era.

Retro Rally Never Looked Better Than the 1986 Citroen BX 4TC
Please take a look at this post’s header and tell me you need another reason to unlock the 1986 Citroen BX 4TC other than drifting in the dirt with the production version of a rally racer.
Fine, if you need them here are a couple more. First, the wonderful and unique Citroën hydropneumatic suspension included in this car that gave it a one-of-a-kind driving and handling sensation.
Second reason, only 62 copies of this car were ever produces, so chances are scarce to try out the 2.1-liter engine with straight 4 cylinders equiped on this car. Not in the Horizon Festival, you will have an entire week (from June 13 until June 20) to unlock rally-rarity and put it into action!
If you have encountered any issue with this update, please make sure to report it on our Troubleshooting Hub. You will find other known issues we are currently investigating as well.
The Horizon Retrowave’s final week comes ashore. Unlock retrorewards and immerse yourself in the neon vibe as long as it lasts!

How to make the already cool Lotus Esprit even cooler? After tons of head scratching, the engineers from the Birtish car maker found the answer in a Garrett T3 turbocharger that gave birth to the 1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo.
