In this comprehensive guide, you will discover the latest additions to Cyberpunk 2077. Among them are new bikes and a standout car, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, each offering unique features and quests.
From faster bikes like the Nazare Racer and Peacekeeper to the Nazare Kobold’s vibrant design, these vehicles bring diverse options. Meanwhile, Porsche’s quest, involving a mysterious disappearance and gang involvement, adds an interesting storyline to the game.
ARCH Nazare Kobold
This bike is the least favorite among the new bikes. It looks similar to other designs but is slightly pinkish. It shares almost the same features as the other bikes, making it appealing to some people.
Redesign:
It’s essentially a redesigned version of the Arch Nazare. It has the same power of 170 horsepower but is a bit heavier, making it slightly slower.
Cost:
It’s priced at 68,000 Eddies, making it the cheapest among the Nazare versions. However, there are three other models available for free.
Reasons to Buy:
The only reasons to buy it would be if you want to collect all the versions or if you prefer a very pink style. Otherwise, there are many other similar bikes available.
Durability Testing:
The bike can sustain one shot to puncture tires, 2.2 dying night mags to explode, and just one projectile arm launcher.
Variety Issue:
It’s disappointing that none of them were made stronger for some variety in durability.
Brennan Apollo 650 S
The Brennan Apollo 650 S is the least expensive among the new bikes. It’s a version of the Brennan Apollo, which is known as the slowest bike in the game and was typically used for off-road purposes.
Changes in the 650 S:
However, the 650 S has undergone some changes. It used to be an off-road specialist, but now it’s more of an affordable sports bike designed for navigating the city streets. Most of its off-road features have been removed to make it cheaper.
Performance Changes:
The 650 S has slightly increased horsepower from 94 to 99, which provides a bit more acceleration. However, this has come at the expense of its great off-road handling. It still can’t outmatch the Nazar or the Kusanagi, with a top speed of just 108 and a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.5 seconds.
Design and Popularity:
Interestingly, the 650 S is the same bike used by the Night City Police Department (NCPD), and people have expressed a desire to own it. It’s the most stolen motorcycle in Night City, partly because of its design and lower price, which makes it more common on the streets.
Reasons for Theft:
Since it’s a bike owned more by regular citizens rather than gangs, it’s less likely to lead to payback if stolen. The bike’s green light-up wheels look cool at night, adding to its overall style. However, despite its style, it’s a cheaper bike and not as powerful as some others available.
Kusanagi Akashita
You have got new versions of the Kusanagi, which is famously known as the red Akira bike and was the fastest in the game. These two new models match that speed but offer different designs and slight weight changes that might slightly impact their acceleration.
The Akashita Variant:
One of the new versions is called the Akashita and it’s cheaper, priced at 72,000 eddies still more expensive than the classic CT3X. Its design resembles the Itsumade more, with a taller backrest that might offer a more comfortable ride. However, it might be less aerodynamic compared to the streamlined Akira bike.
Acceleration:
Statistically, it’s quite similar though, boasting a top speed of 170, accelerating from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and reaching 0 to 120 in 14 seconds.
Performance on Road:
Despite potentially being less aerodynamic, the Akashita feels incredibly smooth on the road. It offers excellent responsive handling, allowing you to easily move through traffic and even perform wheelies over smaller cars if timed right. It pairs well with abilities like Laika or Comrade’s Hammer, aiding in jumping across barriers or highways with practice.
Name Origin:
Akashita is the name of a Japanese monster that hides behind dark clouds, which seems fitting for this bike. However, in reality, any of these bikes could look great emerging from a cloud of smoke.
New Feature:
Additionally, a very cool new feature allows you to throw knives and axes while riding the bike, adding an exciting new element to gameplay.
ARCH Nazare Racer
Although there’s barely any difference in the technical specs on paper, the Nazare Racer deserves a spot on the list for a couple of reasons.
Technical Differences:
Firstly, it’s the lightest among the Arch Nazares due to its carbon fiber design, which theoretically should make it the fastest. It maintains the standard Nazare stats, including the fixed top speed, but perhaps it could accelerate a few milliseconds faster.
Design and Style:
What sets the Nazare Racer apart is its design. It’s the darkest and most brooding bike in the game. While it’s not jet black like a true Murkman bike would be, it’s the closest representation to that style. Night City might not deserve a hero like the Murkman, but this bike embodies that vibe. The Murkmobile, despite being cool, lacks the agility and maneuverability of a motorcycle. So, to complete the full Murkman look, adding the Nazare Racer to your vehicle collection is essential.
Cost Consideration:
Priced at 74,000 eddies, it’s one of the more expensive bikes in the game. However, from the mid-game onward, this expense isn’t tremendous and should be manageable for most players.
Kusanagi Peacekeeper
The Peacekeeper, among all the new bikes introduced in version 2.1, stands out as the second-best. It shares the same top speed and horsepower as the Akashita and CT3x but is slightly lighter. Similar to the Nazare Racer, this weight advantage should theoretically make it a bit faster.
Design:
In terms of design, it’s more contained and smoother than the Akashita, though not as impressive as the Akira CT3x. It provides a good alternative look and having multiple versions of the fastest bike in the game is always useful.
Cost and Performance Stats:
Priced at 75,000 eddies, it has a top speed of 170 mph, reaching 0-60 in 4 seconds and 0-120 in 14 seconds. It’s a great backup in case other bikes get destroyed during police chases.
Handling and Mechanics:
The Peacekeeper performs excellently both on roads and in narrow spaces like alleys or even going upstairs, especially when utilizing wheelies. It’s exciting to discover new accessible places while riding this bike. Overall, the updated bike mechanics are impressive, and the Peacekeeper offers the best combination of speed and design among the new bikes.
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
This new car stands out as the most significant addition in the update, not only for its fantastic appearance but also because it introduces a new quest. It’s available for purchase from the autofixer website for 73,000 eddies.
The Quest – Shape of a Pony:
After buying the car, the Shape of a Pony quest initiates. Players are tasked with tracking down the car and its seller, who seems to have disappeared. This leads to discovering the dead body of Johnny Silverman, whom a Silverhand mimics. The copy is selling the Porsche but has a change of heart due to a newfound obsession with colors and wants to reinvent himself.
Dealing with the Wraiths:
The situation gets complicated as the Wraiths, a gang, are also interested in the car. Players track them using Silverman’s GPS, which reveals coordinates leading to the Porsche Garage in Germany. In-game, this journey leads to a conflict with the Wraiths to reclaim the car.
Technical Details:
Once obtained, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet’s stats closely match Johnny Silverhand’s genuine Porsche. It boasts a top speed of 150, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds, reaches 0 to 120 mph in 15 seconds, and has the same horsepower. Interestingly, despite being a convertible, it’s slightly heavier, which doesn’t significantly impact driving but might affect its collision abilities.
Quirks and Design:
Curiously, there are reports of the car causing other vehicles to explode when slightly colliding with them. The original Porsche has a classic look, while the Cabriolet’s black and yellow color scheme and decals make it dashing and more distinctly Cyberpunk. It’s a welcomed addition to the game, not the fastest, but one of the most stylish.
