The 695 has two seats, three doors, and more power than it looks; the car is equipped with the already famous T-Jet 1.4-liter engine with upgrades such as a new Garrett turbo.

Abarth’s tiny beast weighs only 997 kg, which means it’s capable of putting good use of its small engine and racing 5-speed gearbox. Simply bellisimo!

This little, fun machine will be available for you to unlock on the second week of the Festival Playlist until August 31.

And available for 40 PTS, is the second Alfa of the season, the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C. Beautiful from every possible angle, this car is more than just a pretty face; it's completely carbon fiber chassis allows it to make the most out of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with an output of 237 bhp.
