The Crew 2 Year of the Tiger Live Summit launches with Jaguar C-X75 reward car

We’ll be honest, we didn’t expect The Crew 2 to be the most downloaded racing game on PlayStation in 2021. Ubisoft’s open-world racer launched in 2018, but The Crew 2 is still surprisingly popular thanks to Ivory Tower’s consistent content updates.

Last week saw the launch of Season 4 Episode 2: The Contractor featuring new off-road delivery missions as well as new vehicles. Now, the latest Live Summit has landed with new weekly events, challenges and a raft of rewards celebrating Chinese New Year.    

Latest Live Summit celebrates Year of the Tiger

While the Rocket League Lucky Lanterns event isn’t returning this year, Lunar New Year-themed content is arriving in other racing games in its absence. This week, a new China Spirit DLC pack was released for Horizon Chase.

And now the latest Live Summit has landed in The Crew 2. Available from 26 January – 02 February, the Year of the Tiger Live Summit celebrates Lunar New Year.

This week’s Live Summit platinum reward is the Jaguar C-X75 Concept Lunar Year Edition. James Bond fans will recognise the hybrid supercar for appearing in the 2015 film Spectre. Driven by henchman Mr. Hinx, the British supercar features in a chase set in Rome against Bond, who drives an Aston Martin DB10.

Under the hood is a 1.6-litre turbocharged and supercharged inline-four engine generating 502 hp. A pair of electric motors increases the total output to a whopping 850 hp. Sadly, the C-X75 never entered production, but you can take it for a spin in The Crew 2.

Other rewards include an orange smoke vanity item (gold), a visual parts set for the Maserati Alfieri Concept (silver), and 200k followers (bronze).  

In addition, the Year of the Tiger Live Summit bundle adds three new vehicles:

• Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 (2006) – Street Race
• Aeroboat SV12 (2018) – Powerboat
• Maserati Alfieri Concept (2014) – Hypercar

New Vehicle & Vanity bundles

Finally, the  2003 Porsche Carrera GT - GT Cab and 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – Ferocity bundles join the Far & Beyond store. As part of the taxi cab conversion, the Porsche Carrera GT is modified with prismatic blue smoke, prismatic blue underglow, black window tint, and blue taxi rooftop.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Ferocity Bundle features a lucky card nitro, low poly golden smoke, blinking yellow underglow, black window tint, and lunar year tyres. Both bundles are available until 1 February.
