Claiming the Lancia 037 in CPM 2
In CPM 2 (Car Parking Multiplayer 2), the Lancia 037 has generated significant buzz as a "free" reward for players who utilize the game's cross-platform capabilities. Unlike many vehicles that require in-game currency or specific achievement milestones, this specific car is tied to the account-linking feature between the Steam version and the mobile version of the game.
According to community reports, players do not need a high-end gaming PC to complete this process. If your computer is barely capable of launching CPM 2, that is sufficient to perform the link and claim the reward. Once the car is claimed on the Steam version, it syncs with your linked mobile account, allowing you to drive it on your primary mobile device, even if you rarely use the PC version.
How to Link Your Account and Unlock the Car
The process requires you to establish a connection between your mobile game profile and the Steam version of CPM 2. This acts as a bridge, triggering the reward delivery for your account.
Install the Game: Download and install CPM 2 from the official Steam store page (AppID 4252340).
Launch the Game: Open the game on your PC.
Access Account Settings: Navigate to the game's account/profile menu.
Link Accounts: Locate the option to link your Steam account. Input your mobile game account credentials to synchronize the two platforms.
Claim the Reward: Once linked, check your inventory in the garage. The Lancia 037 should be available for you to claim or will be automatically added to your collection.
Sync to Mobile: Log in to your CPM 2 account on your mobile device. The vehicle should now appear in your garage, ready for use.
Evaluating the Lancia 037
The Lancia 037 is categorized as a "Group B Rally Legend," which sets specific expectations for players. Based on early reviews of the vehicle in the game, it arrives in a stock configuration. It is designed to offer an authentic rally experience, which includes manual transmission handling.
If you are accustomed to automatic gearboxes, you may find the Lancia 037 requires a slight adjustment in driving style. Many players report that using a controller or a manual setup on a mobile screen takes practice to master. Because the car comes stock, its performance is balanced for its class rather than being an overpowered "meta" vehicle. It is best enjoyed for its historical significance and unique driving dynamics rather than raw speed statistics.
Customization and Visual Modifications
One of the highlights of the Lancia 037 in CPM 2 is the customization suite available in the garage. While it is a free reward, the game provides several options to alter its appearance. However, players should be aware of certain quirks in the current build.
Tip
Watch for Visual Glitches: Community reports indicate that equipping certain aftermarket bumpers may cause the rear wing to disappear or "glitch" out. If you are aiming for a specific aesthetic, test your parts combinations in the garage preview before finalizing your purchase.
Key Customization Options
Body Kits: The game allows for front-end modifications, including a bash bar, which significantly alters the vehicle's profile.
Aero Parts: You can toggle between stock wings and official rally-style wings. Note that some generic wings available for other cars may not fit the Lancia 037’s body lines correctly.
External Details: You can customize the mirrors, intake vents (with carbon fiber options), and mud flaps.
Engine Bay: The vehicle features a visible supercharger in the engine bay, keeping with the authentic Group B aesthetic.
As with many vehicles in the game, some of these modifications—such as removing specific roof components—may come with a cost, even if the base car is free. Keep an eye on your in-game currency if you plan to fully kit out the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a powerful PC to link my account?
No. You only need a PC capable of running the game long enough to log in and link your accounts. Once the account is linked and the car is claimed, you do not need to keep the game running on your PC.
Can I upgrade the Lancia 037 engine?
The vehicle comes with a stock configuration. Current player reports indicate that there are very limited upgrade options for the engine and air filters, as the car is intended to maintain its "stock" rally legend status.
Will the car disappear if I unlink my Steam account?
While the car is synced to your account, it is generally recommended to keep your accounts linked to ensure your progress and inventory remain synchronized across devices. Unlinking could potentially lead to data syncing issues.
Is the Lancia 037 available for purchase with in-game money?
The primary method discussed by the community for obtaining this specific vehicle is through the Steam account-linking process. If it appears in the shop, it is typically a promotional or event-based item.
