Our worst bike on this list is the new Kobold model of the ARCH Nazaré. Mind you, it’s not bad or anything, but it’s hardly something we can call “new”.
This is just a pink paint job for the ARCH Nazaré, with no new features or changed specs when compared to its sisters. Well, it does have a smidge more weight on it, but it’s not enough to have any meaningful effects on its functionality.
If you love the ARCH Nazaré bikes and just want a pink one, then it’s perfect for you! If you want something that actually felt new, this is pretty disappointing.
5. Kusanagi “Akashita”
Just like the ARCH Nazaré “Kobold” before it, this new “Akashita” model of the Kusanagi bikes is mostly a reskin.
There’s an added backrest and a new color scheme with a pinkish main color and some very light greens for the accents.
It’s slightly lighter than the base Kusanagi bike too, but this seems to have little to no effect on performance!
Nonetheless, it’s nice to get a new alternate style for the fastest bike in the game.
4. Kusanagi “Peacekeeper”
If you want to have a Kusanagi that looks more like it has a bit of a cop aesthetic, the Peacekeeper model is for you.
It boasts a light blue and white color scheme, which sets it apart when compared to the flashy colors of most other bikes in the game!
As for the specs, it’s the lightest Kusanagi model. As we noted with past bikes, though, this doesn’t actually make any meaningful difference in functionality. Still, it’s a unique new look, so it’s a welcome addition!
3. ARCH Nazaré “Racer”
The “Racer” is yet another reskin for the ARCH Nazaré bike. Although it does boast a noticeable lighter weight on its spec sheet, this seems to not matter at all for performance, just like the previous bikes.
What puts it so high in comparison to the others, then? Simply put, its sleek black design.
This is the darkest of all the bikes in the game, easily. It’s absolutely perfect for people who wish to roleplay as a certain brooding hero of justice. Night City doesn’t deserve you!
2. Brennan Apollo 650-S
The 650-S is a new slimmer model of the Brennan Apollo. While the original Brennan Apollo mostly served as an off-road bike, the 650-S sheds some weight and has better acceleration.
Ultimately, it feels more like a proper sports bike, and it looks a lot slicker than the off-road variant!
It’s not as fast as the Kusanagi and ARCH Nazaré bikes, but it also costs less than half what those bikes do and actually feels new. Overall, a nice addition to the game’s bike roster.
1. Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
This is the only new car added in Update 2.1, so that makes it stand out above the bikes. Not only that, it’s an extremely slick set of wheels, and it’s also the only vehicle that adds a new quest to the game!
You can just buy all of the bikes at any Autofixer whenever you want, with no issues. This car, on the other hand, will require you to through a fun short quest to obtain it!
The stats are nothing unique, though, admittedly. It has basically the same stats as the default Porsche 911 Turbo. However, it’s hard not to love the new sleek black and yellow design! It really screams “This is Cyberpunk”.
Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
