The Crew Motorfest will not stop for one second in 2024. The Year One Pass is in full effect, which at the beginning of January dropped the amazing 1,004-horsepower 1988 Chevy Camaro ZZ632/1000 with that mouth-watering exposed 632-ci or 10.3-liter big-block V8. Another V8 came to keep it company, the 577-hp Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC+. Now, another icon is joining the fray.
The RWD Ferrari F8 Spider is joining the roster together with its 3.9-liter V8 turbocharged engine. The V8 can produce 710 hp (720 ps) and 568 lb-ft or (770 Nm) of torque. Experts have measured this car's performance, and some even witnessed it going as fast as 211 mph (340 kph). Another urban legend tells the story of a 2.9-second acceleration time from 0-62 mph (100 kph).
This open-top version of the F8 Tributo first saw the light of day in 2019, and now, in 2024, it reached the peak of its photorealistic beauty in Motorfest. I'm not even kidding; this thing looks absolutely superb in-game.
Thanks to the advanced graphics from Motorfest, each and every car looks as though you can almost touch it through your screen. I recently bought the Lamborghini Revuelto, and the way the light bounces off the surface is pure graphical poetry. It's too bad it doesn't have ray-tracing technology. Hopefully, Gran Turismo 7 will feature RT when it inevitably hits PCs soon.
The F8 Spider will cost you a pretty penny. The store price for this beauty is no less than 1,400,000 Bucks or 200k Crew Credits. Unfortunately, the grind is real, folks and it might take you a few days or even a week to make that cash. Joining the Ferrari F8 are the 2017 Acura NSX, 2013 McLaren P1, and Koeniggseg Gemera Outclassed Edition.

The AWD mid-engine Acura NSX was released in 2016 with a 3.5-liter V6 engine capable of delivering 500 hp or 507 ps with 406 lb-ft or 550 Nm of torque. With a top speed of 191 mph (307 kph), it can go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds.
Next, the McLaren P1 is one of my favorite rides from Driveclub. I still pine after those graphics. The P1 came out in 2013 and is still as gorgeous, if not even more beautiful today, as it was when it came out of the factory gates. It has a 3.8-liter V8 engine capable of delivering 727 hp or 737 ps with 531 lb-ft or 720 Nm of torque.
Both the NSX and McLaren P1 come as a part of a bundle that's now 20% off at 1,017,518 Bucks or 145,359 Crew Credits. When you think about it, both put together are a lot cheaper than the Ferrari F8 Spider, but as a wise man once said, "To each their own."
Finally, we have the Koeniggseg Gemera Bundle, complete with Gold Line Smoke, Nitro, and Tires. It's 308,280 Crew Credits. You can't buy this with Bucks, I'm afraid, only with microtransaction currency.
That's it for this week; tune in next time for more exciting adventures behind the wheel of one of the best open-world arcade racers out there, Ivory Tower's The Crew Motorfest. Now, for those overly saturated with the Hawaii island scenario, you should take a look at Forza Motorsport. In a week, the Daytona International Speedway track will be arriving to test your driving mettle.
Codrin just loves American classics, from the 1940s and ‘50s, all the way to the muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. In his perfect world, we'll still see Hudsons and Road Runners roaming the streets for years to come (even in EV form, if that's what it takes to keep the aesthetic alive). Full profile
