Hey, CryptoMotors collectors!

Next Tuesday at 5 PM EST / 11 PM CET we will be launching a freshly minted batch of CryptoMotors GEN1 Virtual Racer Abyssus.

This batch will include the first-ever collection of Abyssus series cars, featuring five original colors that haven’t been seen in this car before.

There will only be 25 units available in this first batch, and they will be for sale in the OpenSea front store via direct purchase, with no bidding involved.

Important: the previous GEN0 car batches sold out in just a few minutes after release. So you’ll have to be super quick if you want to grab one of the Abyssus for your own collection.

In this article, we explain to you all you have to know about the new Abyssus production series car, its stat range, rarity, price, and total units available, so you can make an informed decision before purchasing it.

We’ve recently partnered with Animoca Brands and the Whale Community to allow users to acquire our exclusive CryptoMotors GEN1 production series cars at a special price using REVV and WHALE tokens.

We also have a HUGE surprise to reward the early collectors who decide to buy a car from this batch 😱 More info down below!

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!

Behold the GEN1 Virtual Racer Abyssus

  • Release date: March 16th, 5 PM EST / 11 PM CET
  • Available units in the first batch: 25
  • Total units available to be minted: 151
  • Colors: MR Flipflop; Punk Dark Purple; Ghost Grey; Prismatic Red; Green Hell
  • Price: 1.1 ETH. (The price in REVV and WHALE will be defined based on the equivalent to 1.1 ETH on Launch day)

The Virtual Racer Abyssus is an absolute beast in street racing. Its explosive acceleration and high velocity make this car the perfect choice for speed addicts.

The GEN1 Virtual Racer Abyssus is the first CryptoMotors NFT car created out of a Design Challenge.

Designed by @joonyoung_koo⁣⁣ and 3D-modeled by the CryptoMotors team, the Abyssus is one of three cars from the Virtual Racer series. This segment stands out for its incredible speed and acceleration and its high overall street and drag racing performance.

There will be only 25 available units in this first batch, so be sure to grab yours before it’s sold out. You’ll be able to purchase the GEN1 Abyssus at the CryptoMotors OpenSea Marketplace on March 16th 👇

The Abyssus’ stats will be randomly generated when each NFT is minted and unlocked once the car is purchased. The stats will fall within these possible ranges:

Unlock the special, Ultra-rare Virtual Racer Abyssus model

To celebrate the launch of the CryptoMotors GEN1 Abyssus production series cars, we decided to reward early collectors with a HUGE surprise.

This launch day batch (and the two following batches) will include a hidden Ultra-rare Virtual Racer Abyssus model featuring a unique design, colors, and NFT traits.

This asset will be randomly placed among the 25 units of the drop. Collectors who purchase one of the Abyssus series cars will have the chance of unknowingly picking the special model.

But there’s a trick to it.

The special Abyssus will only get unlocked if this first batch is sold out during the first two days (From March 16th to March 18th).

If the collection isn’t sold out during that time frame, the special Abyssus won’t get unlocked.

Of course, users who buy more than one Abyssus car will increase their chances of picking up this ultra-rare NFT Abyssus model.

Want to get your hands on this unique asset? Be ready to smash the buy button on March 16th!

Next batch: Virtual Racer Neon Roadster

We will launch the first batch of GEN1 Neon Roadster production series cars very soon. It will also include 25 unique NFT units featuring new original colors.

We’ll share all details of this batch in the following days. Stay tuned to our social media accounts and Discord channels!

About NFT digital scarcity

If you can’t buy the GEN1 Abyssus from this batch, don’t worry.

The car stock will be replenished in the next two batches. However, it’s important to mention that some colors will be exclusive to the first batch.

That means that some of the first 25 GEN1 Abyssus will be highly rare and valuable assets, and few collectors will have the chance to lend their hands on them.

Will you be one of the lucky few?

Remaining GEN0 cars to be minted

Once the current drop of the GEN1 cars ends, GEN0 fans will again have the chance to acquire these OG CryptoMotors models directly from our marketplace. The release date is yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned to our Social Channels.

Important information about GEN0 Cars production

We decided to drastically reduce the number of GEN0 car units left to be minted in order to keep these models scarce and highly valuable.

  • Sport Coupé*: 35 units left to be minted
  • SUV*: 48 units left to be minted
  • Sedan*: 74 units left to be minted

*All models will be minted and released in future batches, featuring new colors and paint finish.

Once all units are sold, these models won’t be purchasable through the CryptoMotors marketplace anymore. When this occurs, users will only be able to acquire these cars from other collectors, and it’ll be the owners of those NFT who decide the price of the assets.

Remember that the amount of units left is tied to the current price of each model.

The Total Cap of GEN0 Cars

  • Sport Coupé*: 75 units Total Cap
  • SUV*: 100 units Total Cap
  • Sedan*: 150 units Total CAP
