The Crew Motorfest Season 4 Content Overview

Welcome back to a new season on the island, Festival-goers!

With Season 4 right around the corner, we wanted to thank you all for your continued feedback and for making The Crew Motorfest what it is today! We've already talked about some Quality-of-Life Updates that are coming with Season 4 - so today, let's dig into the last big update for Year 1! So, buckle up and get ready for 29 new vehicles, two brand-new playlist, new Summit Contests, and so much more in The Crew Motorfest Season 4!

While Season 3 transported you to the silver screen in Hollywood Action, Season 4 will be all about customization and showing off!

We are excited to show you what else is coming up this season, just keep on reading to find out more!



[h2]CUSTOM FRENZY MAIN STAGE[/h2]
This season, the Main Stage will be all about customization, driving in style, and showing off your sweet rides on the streets!

First off, make sure that you check out the Main Stage regularly - each month, racers can progress through its challenges to become LEGENDS of The Crew Motorfest and earn special rewards for their racing skills.

Our first month of content brings you weekly themes like "Lowrider Custom" & "Drag & Donk Custom." The low riders and high riders square off, with custom bikes zipping on the side and the flashiest wheels on the continent in the forefront. The US mentality thrives by winning, with competition - but then strutting your stuff, your tasteful or gaudy custom rides, and showboating in the most positive sense of the word.
After all, what is a Donk & Lowrider extravaganza without a showreel?

In July, the Legend vehicle reward is the Chevrolet IMPALA LowRider Red Duchess Edition (1967)!



August will present you restomod themes like "Lasting Legacy" and "RingBrothers Makeover." It will start simple: restoring cars back to factory specs using all original parts. It's the originality that becomes the centerpiece - vehicles that left a legacy, or a curated selection of BMWs through the ages, as well as the RingBrothers Dodge CHARGER Tusk, winner of the 2023 SEMA Show; the uniqueness of the vehicle is what turns casual customs to restomod afficionados.

Once you appreciate the car for what it is you can unlock its full potential.

In August, the Legend vehicle reward is the Dodge CHALLENGER R/T Riff Edition (1970)!

September will show you that "custom" is not just modding the parts, wheels 'n' gears, but also immaculate design. So, our Design celebration will include themes like "Yiannimize" and "Creators Mastery Works." Making an already fabulous ride even more glamerous is one thing, but having your own design creations is just as rewarding. After all, original and iconic design should be celebrated in a selection of legendary vehicles.

Also keep your eyes open for any other updates, since we are going to reveal more about Year 2 in September!

In September, the Legend vehicle reward is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Basalt Edition (2022)!

Finally, October will close the season with themes like "Japanese Custom Vol. 2" and "Spooktacular." The very root of JDM culture is drift - and customization. The glistening surfaces of the Liberty Walk customs and those fan favorite Nissans - those are the flagships of the drift and togue races, for the showcase of both minimalist and extravagant customizations. Revel in the part of car culture that wears its heart on its sleeve - or its engine.

In October, the Legend vehicle reward is the Mazda RX-3 Raigyo Edition (1972)!
[h2]NEW PLAYLIST: DONK VS LOWRIDER![/h2]

Choose your side, learn the specifics of each car culture by following various workshops and face-offs, and progressively build a Donk car or Lowrider to show off your style! You will commit to one side at first and will be able to discover the other side once you finished your first choice.

Hosted by two personalities invited by the Motorfest, this Playlist is all about custom rivalry and showing that your sense of style is the best at the 'Fest!

To do this, get behind the wheel of some of the most iconic cars ever produced and drive, race and master every path to unlock the HOONIGAN Chevrolet Caprice DONK (1971) and the Buik GNX Lowrider Edition (1987).


[h2]NEW VEHICLES[/h2]
Season 4 brings you 21 new vehicle drops for TCM, plus 8 returning vehicles from The Crew 2! This July, the long-awaited Audi RS6 Avant (2021) will be available on July 3rd and the Ford Mustang Dark Horse (2024) on July 31st.

In addition, an exciting collaboration with BMW Lifestyle is set to launch at the end of August! The BMW M8 Performance Edition (2019) will be available as a Twitch drop, but that's just the beginning!


[h2]RETURNING VEHICLES[/h2]
The Crew Motorfest also brings some old favorites back!

The Dodge CHARGER R/T Hemi MAD Edition (1969) and the Nissan 350Z Roadster Ultimate Edition (2004) can only be added to the game via the TC2 collection import from July 3rd.

The Jaguar D-Type (1955), the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 (2018), and the Jaguar XJ220 (1992) can either be imported from TC2 or bought in the shop from August 7th.

The Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B (1985) can either be imported from TC2 or bought in the shop from August 14th.

The Maserati Levante Trofeo (2021) and the Maserati Ghibli (1969) can either be imported from TC2 or bought in the shop from September 4th.
[h2]LOWRIDER CUSTOM JUL 03 - JUL 10[/h2]


Season 4 kicks off with a spectacular celebration of Lowrider culture and dazzling customizations! Immerse yourself in a vibrant festival atmosphere filled with stunning cars, pulsating music, and incredible artistry. Join the fun and be part of the ultimate Lowrider experience at Motorfest!

And that's all for now, Festival-goers! We know you'll be itching to hit the streets of O'ahu to see what Season 4 has to offer.
