What’s that you say? The Horizon isn’t fast enough for you? Some of the crazier folks at Teller sympathize with you. The Horizon is a fast car, for sure, but come on. A hard top coupe would surely be lighter and sport lower drag, and why did they stop at 7.4 liters? There’s plenty of room for more engine on that thing’s chassis. The Horizon is already crazy, but why not go even crazier? Convertibles are fun, sure, and there’s nothing else quite like that V8 rumble, but you know what else is fun? Going very, VERY fast. In fact, Teller was working on an even faster Horizion before they scrapped it for the one you know today. Fortunately for you, they were tempted by the magic 200 miles per hour mark that their competitors were now approaching and even exceeding. If other people were doing it, why couldn’t they? It’d be a shame for all of that research and development to go to waste, after all. They could have road-ready examples out there long before they could develop a completely new car as well. It was just too tempting. Enter the 1992 Teller Horizon ll, it’s time to get serious.
This isn’t just a coupe variant of the Horizon with familiar, but quirkier looks. Under the hood of the Horizon ll is an 8.6 liter V12, dubbed the Hyperblock, cranking out a staggering 500 horsepower. That’s nearly 100 more horses than what’s on tap in the Horizon. Combine that with an aerodynamic undertray and the Horizon ll’s sleek hard top and you have yourself a machine capable of hitting 213 miles per hour. How many cars out there can hit that kind of speed without all kinds of space-age valvetrain technology or forced induction? Not many. A single cam, some push rods, and a heap of glorious displacement does the job just fine, and just the like the Horizon’s Superblock you’ll have a very wide power band at your disposal. How does a quarter mile time in the neighborhood of 12.5 seconds sound to you? 0-60 in under 5 seconds? You want speed? Here’s your speed, and we’re giving it to you without complex all-wheel drive systems or a motor stuck behind you.
Don’t forget that this car is a HORIZON, which means you’ll be getting one of the rawest, purest driving experiences out there. There may not be a V8 in front of you anymore, but the clear, smooth growl of a massive, low-revving V12 is nothing to sneeze at either, especially with its liberal exhaust system keeping much of the beast’s sonic glory intact. Power steering, ABS, and traction control aren’t available for the Horizon ll, granting the driver complete control over the vehicle. We aren’t ones to water down the fun with computers. Needless to say, a car this fast without driver assists can be VERY dangerous, which is why potential buyers will have to be evaluated and required to attend training courses provided by Teller Performance themselves before they are able to purchase and own a Horizon ll.
It doesn’t get much better than this as far as we’re concerned. 8.6 liters, 500 horsepower, rear wheel drive, we’re here to deliver the goods. This is pure angst and fury on four wheels. This thing has BALLS. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call to schedule your evaluation.
