American Automotive includes 13 new accolades to earn in this new update.
Here is the list and how to get each one:
Four high-octane, adrenaline-pumping, all-American vehicles are coming to the Horizon Festival this November.
Hot rods, super cars, and pickups take over the Festival with the American Automotive Car Pack, available starting November 7 for $4.99!
Built to celebrate the seven years of victories the original S7 had, the 2017 Saleen S7 LM is a tremendous hypercar all around.
As one of the most remarkable examples of American car manufacturing, the S7 LM produces a staggering 1,300 bhp brought to you by a 7.0 – liter twin turbo V8 engine. It is said that the new and improved body of the S7 LM can produce enough downforce to make it able to be driven upside down in a tunnel.
Whether you want to drive it wheel-side up or down, you cannot miss out on the storm of power the Saleen S7 LM will bring to the Horizon Festival.
When you see flames in front, you already know this custom car is going to be fast.
Originally built to work, but customized to leave skid marks at every red light it stops, the 1961 DeBerti Ford Econoline ‘Shop Rod’ is a monstrous hot rod that can (and will) take you by surprise.
The custom work on this van is remarkable, it has been fitted with a 5.8-liter Coyote V8 engine that puts 850 bhp on the tip of your toes.
The only thing this van will deliver at the Horizon Festival will be Ls to every car that dares challenge it.
Sporting a 5.8 – liter V8 engine, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado LT Trail Boss wants to be your vehicle of choice when trying to have some fun in the mud.
A two-inch lift and locking differentials help this truck switch from pavement to basically anything else seem meaningless.
A powerful truck that can mudsling with the greatest, the Silverado LT Trail Boss makes an off-road detour sound like a great idea.
The future is here and with it come cars designed by A.I. such as the 2024 Czinger 21C.
Built in California, this American hypercar is built of lightweight but robust materials that are 3D printed by a computer in the most sci-fi process we have heard of.
Even if you don’t get terms like “pareto optimization”, there’s one thing you will understand: speed & power. The 21C boasts 1,350 hp, a number we only saw on the car drawings we made as kids.
And when all is said and done, the 21C shatters lap times and records. It clocked in 1:25:44 at Laguna Seca and it is said to reach 100 kmh in 1.9 seconds.
Fulfill your childhood dreams driving this piece of the future, today.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is an American soon-to-be legend created to change the supercar game. This Corvette is both surprisingly affordable and impeccable, being able to go toe-to-toe on the tarmac with other cars that are twice the price.
It’s middle-mounted, massive 5.5-liter V8 engine blasts the car from 0 – 100 kmh in 2.6 seconds only. All that power does not compromise the experience of this car as its supreme grip and braking make it a dream to drive.
The Z06 is a more affordable super car that has everything car heads around the world love with an American feel.
The shortest version of the classic Belvedere still packs a massive punch!
The 1964 Plymouth Belvedere was fitted with a humongous 7-liter V8 engine that made this car a wonderful drag racer due to its big power and lighter weight.
Not only gaining notoriety on the streets, the ‘64 Belvedere did a complete sweep of the 1964 Daytona NASCAR race taking all three positions.
Relive its old glories going round the Oval Track or take it to the Street Scene and see what a classic muscle drag racer can do!
Earn 20 PTS during Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the American Automotive Festival Playlist. Available from November 16 until November 23
Some cars are born made to wave the flag, like the 1966 Chevrolet Nova, one of America’s (and the world’s) most beloved muscle cars of all time.
The Nova’s massive 5.3 V8 engine sends power to an AWD drive system that makes it the perfect contender for the next race occurring at your nearest traffic light.
Paying honor to its name, the Nova is one of the muscle car era’s biggest stars and completely deserving of a spot in your garage during this series.
Earn 40 PTS during Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the American Automotive Festival Playlist. Available from November 16 until November 23
Nothing screams “Born in the USA” louder than the iconic headlights of a Firebird dashing in front of their opponents.
The 1968 Pontiac Firebird does an extremely good job accomplishing this thanks to its loud and mighty 6.5 – liter V8 engine that marked what is considered muscle car peak.
Time to set the night on fire with an icon of the 60’s, the Firebird!
Designed in California and assembled in Arizona the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire is the world’s first fully electric luxury super-sports car.
The thunderous roar of petrol engines now make way for this silent electric powerhouse, challenging the traditional image of American automotive wonders. With an impressive 1,234 hp, the Lucid Air Sapphire does not hold back, sprinting to 100 km/h in just 1.89 seconds.
The Lucid Air Sapphire makes it very clear — the definition of an American supercar will never be the same with this electric all-rounder in the game, and it will stir the competition.
Earn 40 PTS during Week 3 “Winter” Season on the American Automotive Festival Playlist. Available from November 23 until November 30
In the 60’s race for creating the fastest car possible, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge is guilty of stepping up the game.
Its exterior design captured the funky-psychedelic vibe of the era and on the inside, a hammering 6.5 – liter V8 engine that could put 365 bhp at your service.
The verdict is in, the GTO Judge is a must have for muscle car lovers and enthusiasts of speed alike.
The most fun you can get from a box with the label “assembly required” has a name, and that is 2010 Rossion Q1. This unhinged DIY super car is super sizzling to be put onto the track and run like there’s no tomorrow.
The Q1’s recommended engine, a Ford twin-turbocharged Duratec V6 engine, puts out 508 bhp and, much like its predecessor (the Noble M400), it can spew some gasping times on the track such as its 0-100 kmh clocking in at 3.4 seconds.
This car will be available as a reward for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist, and luckily, you will not have to lift a single wrench to start doing laps around Mexico.
Earn 40 PTS during Week 4 “Spring” Season on the American Automotive Festival Playlist. Available from November 30 until December 7
Take a deep breath and engulf all the style of the 1962 Lincoln Continental, its not for nothing that this car was used to transport presidents and royalty alike.
And if the outside is not enough, wait until you crack those doors open in the coolest way known to mankind: the opposite one.
But as we all know, it’s the inside that counts the most, and what an inside does this Lincoln have! Like every other amazing icon of the era, this Continental is hiding a burly V8 that can put out 300 bhp.
Style and speed are the bread and butter of this car, and they can be yours too for 40 PTS on the Festival Playlist.
