The Crew 2 has been around for years, and with over five years of updates, seasonal events, and story content, the game has quietly built a massive list of free vehicles—yes, completely free. This guide covers every method for unlocking those cars, including through events, stories, summits, icon levels, and more. Whether you’re a new player or returning to fill in the gaps, this is your ultimate reference to get every no-cost car possible.

Section 1: Technically Free – One Buck Cars and Summit Rewards

Let’s start with the “technically free” options. These aren’t zero-cost by definition, but they’re close enough.

Summit Rewards

The Summit is a weekly event featuring nine challenges. Based on your performance, you can earn silver, gold, or platinum-tier rewards, which often include exclusive cars.

• Silver Rewards (e.g., Nissan 370Z)
• Gold Rewards (e.g., Mustang GT, SL AMG C197)
• Platinum Rewards – The most exclusive summit-only cars

Good to Know: You don’t need to own every summit-required car to compete. Many challenges use loaner vehicles, and completing even the skill-based or forced-vehicle events can earn you enough points for silver-tier prizes if you’re consistent.

One Buck Cars

A recent update introduced four vehicles priced at just $1 Crew Buck each—essentially free. Available in the four starter specs:

• Street: Road Force One
• Rally Raid: Porsche 959 (one of the best in the spec)
• Aerobatics: Slick Aircraft 360HP
• Touring Car (Powerboat): Fria 1414 Demon – considered the best in its category

There’s also a Ten Buck Vehicle:

• Crown Victoria Marcos Cab – required for Contractor missions to unlock bonus rewards.

These are incredibly valuable for new players and cost virtually nothing.

Section 2: Free Cars via Single-Event Unlocks

These are vehicles you unlock by completing just one event—no grind necessary.

• Mercedes X-Class (Rally Raid): Earned by completing an early rally raid event (starter vehicle provided).
• Mercedes Uhlenhaut (Touring Car): Complete “Going Back to My Roots” in Miami.
• Neon DeLorean (Street Spec): Finish “Miami Ride” to receive this visually unique, wide-bodied car.

Each event gives you the car upon your first completion—easy, fast, and unmissable.

Section 3: Free Cars via Multi-Event Storylines

Head to the Motorflix menu, scroll to:

• Into the Storm (Street)
• Blizzard Rush (Hypercar)

These are five-event playlists themed around cinematic, high-drama races—sandstorms, collapsing towers, and more.

• BMW M8 No Rules Edition – reward for completing Blizzard Rush
• Mitsubishi 3000GT No Rules Edition – reward for Into the Storm, also tied for fastest top speed in Street Spec

These take time but offer great rewards—and some of the best designed events in the game.

Section 4: Spec Completion Rewards (Boss Events)

Once you reach 50% completion in each racing spec, you unlock a boss event. These include:

• Keys to the City (Street)
• The Switch (Off-Road)
• Mutual Benefit EV (Freestyle)
• Beat the Duke (Pro Racing)

Rewards:

• McLaren P1 (Street/Hypercar)
• Helicopter (Off-Road)
• Hovercraft (Freestyle)
• Aston Martin Vulcan (Pro Racing)

These are unbuyable and only available via these boss events.

Section 5: Icon Level Rewards

Progressing through Icon Levels unlocks cars via your Pilot > Timeline menu. These are automatic and require no effort beyond leveling.

Icon Level Rewards:

• Icon 100 – Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
• Icon 200 – Waco YMF (Aerobatics)
• Icon 300 – Peugeot 3.8 DKR Maxi (Rally Raid)
• Icon 400 – Offshore Mark I (Powerboat)
• Icon 500 – BMW M Performance M4 (Racing)
• Icon 600 – Ferrari LaFerrari (Hypercar, exclusive)
• Icon 700 – Acura NSX (Drift)
• Icon 800 – Proto Hop 1 (Monster Truck)
• Icon 1000 – Bugatti Chiron Carbon Edition (final hypercar)

You’ll also earn parts with each milestone, so check your timeline regularly.

Section 6: Free Story Cars

Stories involve traveling across the U.S. and completing a series of exploration missions. While most offer vanity items, ten of them reward free cars:

• Porsche 550 Spyder
• Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Coupé
• Champion Edition Model 17 Struger
• Pontiac GTO Lowrider (Lerde Edition)
• 300ZX (Classic)
• C8 Aileron All-In Edition
• Fairlady Z Under the Stars Edition
• Defenders V8 Pierce Edition
• 300ZX Malu Edition

Most story events don’t allow fast travel, but are packed with great visuals and dialogue. If you’re committed to collecting, this is a must-do category.

Section 7: Hobbies – Progression-Based Unlocks

Complete milestone tasks in Hobbies to unlock even more cars:

Explorer (Drive around the map)

• HX Concept One – excellent Rally Raid car

Racer (Complete lots of events)

• Mazda RX-7 10th Anniversary Edition Turbo

Not Counted:

• Collector Hobby (Plymouth Road Runner) – requires excessive spending, so not technically free

---

Section 8: The Mad Update – Quick Skill-Based Unlocks

Located in the Motorflix menu under Mad Volume 1 and 2, these are short but quirky skill challenges. Complete 27 total skills to unlock:

• Audi TT RS Roadster
• Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B – currently the best Rallycross car in the game

For such high-value vehicles, the time investment is shockingly low.
