[p]Engines are revving and shaking the ground at the Horizon Backstage as four classic muscle cars rumble for your vote this week. Select your favorite pair and vote in-game starting today and until February 5. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Team Plymouth is here to show two of their very best and most iconic muscle cars. Up first is a car covered in chrome and with stylish tailfins, the 1958 Plymouth Fury. The Fury comes equipped with a 305hp Golden Commando V8 engine which makes it great at one thing: going fast on a straight line. The second member of the Plymouth squad is the 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula-S. Its split front grille and 383 Super Commando V8 engine are two of the most recognizable pieces of muscle car history. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The second team entering the bout this week features members from two other classic American brands: Pontiac and AMC. Starting their lineup comes a special version of a car considered part of American heritage and culture: the 1970 Hot Wheels Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom. The Winner of the 2020 Hot Wheels Legends Tour features a humongous iron block LSx V8 outputting over 1,000 bhp. Completing this team and this week’s duelists is the 1970 AMC Rebel The Machine. Covered in red, white, and blue, this car could produce 340 horsepower and is coveted as one of the best performing muscle cars ever. [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Lunar New Year brings great fortune to the entire Horizon Festival!

[p]We have a battle specially built for people who love to spend their days burning rubber and improving their times at the track. Each of this week’s pairs feature a superb track toy and a super car to do some laps in! Which duo of limited-edition racers are you choosing? [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The first high-powered entrant to this week’s bout is the 2010 Noble M600: a handcrafted British supercar capable of reaching a brutal top speed thanks to its lightweight construction and V8 engine. The 2014 BAC Mono may look as simple as they come, but what you are seeing is one of the fastest road-legal track cars ever made, and it closes the first pair of limited production racers available this week! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The spiritual successor to the Noble M400 is here to shake the tracks. Rossion picked up the rights to the English speedster and infused it with an American soul - a Ford Duratec V6 engine - creating the 2010 Rossion Q1. Only 340 units of the final car in this week’s showdown were ever made, and now you might have another chance of getting your own. The 2000 Lotus 340R has no roof, no doors, and is all grip and power. [/p][p][/p][p][/p]
