The Crew Motorfest Season 3 has begun with an entirely new slew of cars, quality-of-life improvements, gameplay tweaks, and other player-focused features. The main theme from Season 3 is action Hollywood, but luckily, there's even more cool new stuff awaiting players. If you're a fan of the 1980s, you don't want to miss what's on offer this week.
The Main Stage bundle is the first on our tempting shopping list. It contains two superb nostalgic rides, like the 1985 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole and the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi.

When Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Margot Robbie hit theaters in 2013, it made the Countach even more iconic, like it wasn't already popular enough. But hey, it brought back the cultural icon in style, even though Leo's character crashed it to bits in the movie.

The 1985 5000 Quattrovalvole (four-valves) retained its wedge-shaped aesthetic, even though other manufacturers like Ferrari or Porsche started to shift to a more curvy design. Still, even in 2024, to see one is like spotting a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It looks nothing short of mesmerizing, almost like poetry.

The RWD 5000 QV didn't have a world-class fuel economy (10.6 mpg or 22.2 L/100Km in the city), but what it brought to the table was the 5.2-liter V12 engine that produced 449 horsepower or 455 ps with 369 lb-ft or 500 Nm of torque. The top speed on this thing was 185 mph (298 kph), and it could hit 62 mph or 100 kph in 5 seconds.

Next, the 1969 Dodge Charger isn't less historically precious, depending on who you ask. This design generation from '68 was entirely different from what Dodge had produced before.

Aside from the exterior redesign, what's under the hood of the R/T package is even more appealing: the 7.0-liter (426 cubic inch) HEMI V8 engine that produced 425 hp (431-ps) with 490 lb-ft or 664 Nm of torque. In Motorfest, the '69 Charger R/T Hemi has a top speed of 133.5 mph or 215 kph with a 0 to 60 acceleration of 6.1 seconds.

The bundle costs 668,079 Bucks or 95,439 Crew Credits, 20% off from 835,100 Bucks and 119,300 CC. The offer expires in a few days, so if you're all stocked up with Bucks, you might want to hurry up.

Next, a 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster Winter Agent Edition awaits you, provided you rise to the occasion in the Main Stage challenges. Also, a 1964 Porsche 911 Director's Cut is up for grabs for 350k Bucks or 50k Crew Credits. It also comes with Directors Cut Nitro, Cut Tire, and Cut Underglow.

Then, another Custom Bundle is offering the 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport Anodized Edition, complete with Black Window Tint, Red Nitro, and Red Underglow. It's down 30% and currently costs almost 200,000 Crew Credits, which you can only buy with real-life money.

This would be pretty much everything for this week's bundles and offers for The Crew Motorfest. It's not a bad deal for those who want their '80s nostalgia fix. Or, you can skip all this and play Grand Theft Auto Vice City for an authentic 1980s experience. However, this raises the question: will GTA VI have a more modern vibe or an oldie but goldie, blast-from-the-past feel?
