Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/hertz/) can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger (http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/challenger/), Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/), Chevy Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/camaro/), even a Corvette (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/corvette/) as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/07/rent-a-racer-hertz-dream-cars-lets-you-rent-an-exotic/) lineup even includes Porsches (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/) and AMGs (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/). But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/04/16/new-york-auto-show-2007-shelby-hertz-gt350h-intro-and-high-res/) made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/09/hertz-penske-gt-latest-hot-ford-mustang-at-the-rental-counter/) to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) delivered a couple of Focus STs (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus+st/) made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below (http://www.mnfords.com/2013/10/23/hertz-ford-focus-st-h/#continued).Continue reading Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/23/hertz-ford-focus-st-h/)
