The Racing is Getting Merrier with an AMG Reward Car



Able to perform on the track and on holiday tours across snowy landscapes, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon is a family-sized speed monster that can do almost anything.

For starters, this wagon comes equipped with 5.4-liter, supercharged V8 engine that puts out 469 reindeerpower. This fantastically powerful engine allows the car to compete with super cars in quarter-mile races.

Along with a delightfully fast engine, the AMG Wagon is also quite nimble. Thanks to its AWD system and clever weight distribution, this car can tackle even the tightest corners with great precision.

With enough power to score impressive times around tracks and room to fit almost anything in the back, you know this is your ride for some late holiday shopping!

Presents Are Sure to Arrive on Time with These Two Reward Cars



Unlock and drive an All-Wheel Drive mansion with the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur from December 5 until December 12 on the Festival Playlist.

Packed with 616 reindeer power, Bentley’s cozy racing cabin can reach 100 kph in around 4.5 seconds. As comfort cannot distance itself from speed in this car, the Flying Spur’s interior is also completely wrapped in premium leather.

Get home in time to celebrate with the entire family with the Flying Spur available now as a reward for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.

The 2024 Nissan Z NISMO is a powered-up version of the Nissan Z. The makeover starts with a new twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 420 reindeerpower. A peek underneath the car reveals Akebono performance brakes and a track-focused suspension to improve handling around tight corners.

Complete the transformation with a new aerodynamic body kit designed to improve grip and increase downforce and you got yourself the best ride for you could ask for this holiday season.

Horizon Holidays Mix-up (December 5 – January 2)


[h2]Festival Playlist[/h2]
A nice quilt and hot cocoa inside a new reward car... is there any better plan for the holidays?



To get you started on your winter adventures, we present four reward cars (three new to Horizon) during the four entirely wintry weeks of Horizon Holidays Mix-up, all with four doors and room for a ton of presents.

2024 Nissan Z NISMO

Complete the “Nissan Eazy” Seasonal Championship during Week 1 “Winter” of the Horizon Holidays Mix-up Festival Playlist. Available from December 5 until December 12.

For this season of giving, Nissan gave the Z a racing makeover and a nice little badge that reads NISMO. This not only means the car looks slicker, but it also performs better on the track.

To start, the Z NISMO found a new twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 420 reindeerpower, wrapped under the tree with its name on it. Next to it was a handling package that includes Akebono performance brakes and a track-focused suspension.

Instead of an itchy festive sweater, Nissan’s racing division gave the car a new aerodynamic look that evokes the brand’s past and improves downforce with side spoilers, air splitters, and a rear wing.

Unlock and customize this car with the included Liberty Walk Rear Wing and Widebody Kit!

2021 Bentley Flying Spur



Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Winter” of the Horizon Holiday Mix-up Festival Playlist. Available from December 5 until December 12.

Chestnuts are roasting on an open fire, and leather is covering your new favorite four-door AWD supercar, the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur.

This distinguished gentleman comes with a mighty W-12, twin-turbocharged engine that provides it with 616 reindeerpower. That alone allows the car to reach 100 kph in just over 4.5 seconds.

As luxurious as it is powerful, the Flying Spur’s interior is covered in high-quality leather and natural wood and metal finishes. If this car’s raw power isn’t amusing enough, you can also get it with a wi-fi package and, if the track did a number on your back, massaging seats are also available.

2006 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon



Earn 20 PTS during Week 2 “Winter” of the Horizon Holiday Mix-up Festival Playlist. Available from December 12 until December 19.

With room in the back for an entire team of toy-building elves and an engine you wouldn’t expect in a family wagon, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon might be the car that can do almost anything.

Thinking of taking it to the track? Not a problem, the E 55 is equipped with a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8 engine built by hand that produces an astonishing 469 reindeerpower. That translates into a 0-100 kph time of just above 4 seconds and a quarter mile in just 12 seconds.

Not only is this certified mom vehicle fast, but its weight distribution and rear-wheel drive allow it to handle amazingly around corners.

The holiday season is better enjoyed with family and friends, so give them a surprisingly thrilling ride with the E 55 AMG Wagon.

2022 BMW M5 CS

Earn 20 PTS during Week 3 “Winter” of the Horizon Holiday Mix-up Festival Playlist. Available from December 19 until December 26.

BMW’s M division does it again, this time upgrading the M5 and creating the thrilling 2022 BMW M5 CS, the most powerful M production model ever created.

For those wondering, CS stands for Competition Sport. This means the lightweight construction with carbon panels, strong V8 engine, and new sports suspension aren’t just a coincidence. In fact, the car was built with performance in mind, so much so that it can reach 100 kph in just 3 seconds.

An all-wheel drive system completes the performance package, putting all the 627 reindeerpower to good use, and the gold accents and wheels make the outside of this car an unmissable sight. Customize even further with AC Schnitzer body parts (a rear bumper, a side skirt, and one of two rear wings!). Drive the fastest and latest in BMW’s luxury-performance division with the M5 CS.

2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon

Earn 20 PTS during Week 4 “Winter” of the Horizon Holiday Mix-up Festival Playlist. Available from December 26 until January 2.

Superpowered, super luxurious, and super spacious. The 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon is everything you want in a luxury muscle car with enough room in the back for decorations and presents.

The Horizon Festival can’t have enough built-for-the-city cars to turn into track or off-road monsters, especially when they are packed with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine.

The biggest highlights of this car are found inside, with bucket seats covered in leather and a huge trunk to pack everything you might need for the holiday season.

Transform this family vehicle into a track shredder unlocking it on the Festival Playlist!

Horizon Extreme (January 2 – 30)


[h2]Festival Playlist[/h2]

Four weeks of extreme flips and stunts deserve a daredevil that can match their freak, and the Horizon Extreme Festival Playlist has exactly that coming up.

1965 DeBerti Chevrolet C10 ‘Slayer’
Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Summer” Season on the Horizon Extreme Festival Playlist. Available from January 2 until January 9.


This DeBerti build is all about extreme numbers: 900 horsepower, 6 wheels, 3 axles, 5 inches of adjustable height, and so much more packed in a car that’s as badass as they come.

In an effort to get as close as possible to 1,000 bhp while running on regular 93-octane gasoline, a 2020 GM LSX-B15 V8 engine provided by Chevrolet Performance was added as this monster’s beating heart. A hydraulic suspension from Mittler Bros allows the driver to lift the car an additional 5 inches, or keep it as close to the ground as possible.

Like a warning sign, this car sports red details all over the place to let you know the “Slayer” name is not a game; it is what this car came to do.
