The new cars are: the TVR Cerbera Speed 12, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, the Honda S2000, the Nissan GT-R (S-G2008), the VW Nardo, the Pontiac Firebird Trans AM, the Volvo C30, and my personal favourite, the McLaren F1 GTR. Owners of the Xbox 360 version will be able to shoot for 100 new Achievement Points to add to their Gamerscore, however, there's no word on new Trophies for the PS3 edition.
THOSE “8 BALL” CARS IN FULL:
McLaren F1 GTR – The McLaren F1 GTR wrote itself into the history books as the only GT car to ever win Le Mans outright in the modern era and is considered one of the finest examples of automotive engineering in history.
TVR Cerbera Speed 12 – The TVR 12 smashes past 60 MPH in just under 3 seconds. Production models were planned, but they were considered too powerful to sell to the general public.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X – For over a decade the Evo has been billed as a supercar slayer – now the Evo-X in GRID lets you unleash its sledgehammer aggression in the Pro-Tuned class.
Honda S2000 – This roadster is heavily modified for drifting and has become a cult-favourite thanks to its award winning engine.
Nissan GT-R (S-G2008) – One of the world’s hottest cars makes its debut in Race Driver: GRID in its fully tuned racing spec.
VW Nardo – This powerful concept car made real from VW uses its 600BHP engine to rocket to 60MPH in 3.1 seconds.
Pontiac Firebird Trans AM – The 1971 racing edition of this true American legend is a worthy addition to GRID’s exclusive group of muscle cars.
Volvo C30 – Adding to Race Driver: GRID’s touring car roster comes the C30, Volvo’s agile, cutting edge hot-hatch straight from the STCC grid.

Picking up the 8 Ball expansion pack will set you back $12.95 AUD/ $14.95 NZD on the PSN, or 800 Microsoft Points on the 360. Although it's not yet available for players of the PC version of Race Driver: GRID, we're expecting it to be announced in the near future.
