We're a long way from Bruce Lee's iconic 1973 blockbuster, Enter the Dragon, and sadly, there's no video game out there to measure up to the legend. Except for maybe Sifu with some proper mods, but I digress. On the other hand, The Crew Motorfest has also entered the Year of the Dragon with some jaw-dropping rides and bundles.
This week in The Crew Motorfest and The Crew 2, we're not only getting some exciting new vehicles, but also a glimpse into the game's future; the not-so-distant future, that is.
Developer Ivory Tower thought to start with the mean-looking 2010 Mini Cooper S Checkered Edition. Sadly, we didn't get a pony count on this 603/880 Performance Level car, but we know it has a top speed of at least 186 mph or 300 kph, which is mindboggling for a Mini. The closest version (from real life) would be the Mini John Cooper Works GP, powered by a 225 kW/306 hp 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that can hit 165 mph (266 kph).
As for what's next in The Crew Motorfest, from 14-21 February, we're getting a new event, Way of Lightning, then from the 21st until the 28th, it's another round of This vs. That. Pitstop Pressure debuts on February 28 and lasts until March 6. Lastly, between March 6 and 13, we're getting Hoonigan Showreel.
The Year of the Dragon Bundle is next, containing the 2017 Audi RS 3 LMS and the 2016 Yamaha YZR-M1 racing bike (240 hp). The RS 3 delivers 350 hp, with a top speed of 165 mph or 265 kph. This baby can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

The bundle costs almost 629k Bucks or 90,000 Crew Credits. I'm afraid you'll have to buy the latter virtual currency with real money. I always favor grinding rather than spending extra money on a game I've already paid $70 for.
The last item on our Motorfest shopping list is the 91,000 Crew Credits Custom Bundle. This has the rear-wheel-drive 2008 Spyker C8 LaViolette GT2-R complete with Yellow Smoke, Yellow Underglow, and Yellow Stripes Tire. It has a 4.2-liter V8 Audi-sourced engine that can output 400 hp with 354 lb-ft or 480 Nm and weighs 2,480 lbs. or 1,125 kg. It can hit 62 mph or 100 kph in just 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 187 mph or 301 kph.
Lastly, if you finish the Live Summit event from The Crew 2, you'll be rewarded with the 1967 Chevy Impala LowRider Red Duchess Edition. This dark beauty with red finishes can output 385 hp and hits 60 mph in 7.4 seconds with a top speed of 125 mph or 201 kph.
As a quick side note, before we part ways, if you're looking for a new and rather unique experience to play, maybe give Helldivers 2 a try. It's an excellent Live Service game on PlayStation 5 and PC.
Codrin just loves American classics, from the 1940s and ‘50s, all the way to the muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. In his perfect world, we'll still see Hudsons and Road Runners roaming the streets for years to come (even in EV form, if that's what it takes to keep the aesthetic alive). Full profile
