This week at the Horizon Backstage Vote, we are hosting another duel between two iconic brands. On the first corner, straight from Germany, with years of experience winning on different tracks around the world, it's BMW! Their opponents are not afraid to get down and dirty, especially to take the win. With one of the most successful rally careers of all time, it's Subaru!
Vote for your favorite team in-game starting today.
Headlining BMW's team is the very best out of the Series 8 model: the 1995 BMW 850CSi. Equipped with high-end electronics (for the time) and the S70B56 5.5-liter V12 engine, this car can amass up to 380 bhp and switch between two driving modes. The second player for the Bavarian squad is the 2010 BMW M3 GTS, a street-legal car with racing pedigree and components, such as its 4.4-liter V8 engine, adjustable suspension, roll bar, front splitter, and adjustable rear wing.
The first car in Team Subaru is no stranger to winning. The 1996 Subaru SVX comes with a 3.3-liter engine that puts out 231 horsepower and has a drag coefficient so low that it matched hypercars of that era. An almost stock version of this car even conquered the Alcan Winter Rally in 1991! Finally, built to celebrate Subaru's impeccable rally legacy, the 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B-STi Version is a limited edition piece with only 424 models ever made and sold in Japan, the UK and Australia.
