Autumn leaves scatter along the British roads as this week brings another opportunity to unlock exclusive cars and cosmetics on the Festival Playlist, most notably headlined by the 1999 Ford Racing Puma, a front-wheel drive retro rally car by the American automotive giant sold exclusively in the UK.

What makes the Puma an incredibly rare and peculiar car is that out of the 1,000 Racing Pumas that were planned, only 500 of those ever rolled off the production line. This was also the final limited-edition Puma produced and it features an advanced 4-piston motorsport braking system, a beefed-up body with lightweight aluminum components, and a racing-inspired interior.



You can drive the Puma around its distant homeland by unlocking it in the Cool Cats Seasonal Championship, available alongside this week’s other Festival Playlist events and rewards until Thursday, August 8:
