2021 Bentley Continental GT Convertible
One of Grand Touring’s biggest icons has arrived. The power, style, and luxury of the 2021 Bentley Continental GT Convertible is here to ramble on at the Horizon Festival.
Check that heavy metal underneath the hood; the 2021 Conti will get its indomitable power from a W12 engine that produces 626 horsepower that can hit 100 kmh from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds.
That massive engine could only be covered with superb design. Really built with style, the luxurious heritage of Bentley shows in the door lines and headlights; the perfect way to wrap up the ideal GT ride.
Feel the Conti’s power running through your hair when you lower this car’s top with the European Automotive Car Pack.
1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Wagon
A one-of-a-kind powerhouse, a family wagon turned into racer, a suburban king of the raceway; there are plenty of ways to describe the 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Wagon, but our favorite one is unique.
This car started its lifetime as a regular wagon to drive around on Sundays with your family, until it got into the hands of AMG North America. It was then fitted with a 6-liter Mercedes V-8 and a body kit. This upgrade made the once-made-for-comfort car sprint from 0 – 100 kmh in just 5 seconds, the Hammer can also obliterate a quarter mile in mere 13.5 seconds.
You know what they say: when in doubt, strike it with a Hammer.
2019 Jaguar XE SV Project 8
An apex predator of the track, the Jaguar is a magnificent specimen of British automotive prowess. And this particular type of Jaguar, is not afraid to get its claws dirty when looking for a meal.
In the wild the 2019 Jaguar XE SV Project 8 tends to find its prey racing. When it's ready to pounce, the Project 8 puts its carbon fiber upgrades, aerodynamic remodeling, and supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine to work, surprising any unsuspecting opponent it finds on the road.
Unsurprisingly, this big cat’s looks are as striking as its power. A rear wing showing its power, a grill that entices racing, and racing strips that ensure maximum speed.
Like any other feline of this lineage, taming the Project 8 is near impossible. Do you dare?
2020 Automobili Pininfarina Battista
Zero emissions and unbelievable power come together to create the Automobili Pininfarina Battista – the fastest GT car to ever come out of Italy.
Four electric motors send power to each wheel producing a combined total of 1900 bhp, a number that will stay in your mind until you experience it firsthand. Same with its 350 km/h top speed. The Battista can accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h in 1.89 seconds, quicker than you will be able to mutter arrivederci as it flies past you.
Tradition in design and trend setting technology come together in the latest electric warrior joining the Horizon Festival, the 2020 Automobili Pininfarina Battista
