Yes, i drove the Miura during the playtest in Lyon and it was a real nice drive. Not too hard to master. Will be a very good cruiser too.
But you will need to upgrade it to become a better ride, as stock it was a bit slow. 8-)

Here an excerpt of the Q&A the American Magnificent 7 member made during his trip to Lyon.

Q: Will the game support 1080 resolution?
A: Yes, the game will support a full 1080 resolution with both the One and the PS4 along with 30fps.

Q: How many polygons are used for each car?
A: There are up to 50,000 per car.

Q: How much time does it take to make a car in the game?
A: It takes up to 6 months per car with all the modeling, specs, licensing, and handling.

Q: Can you use wipers or headlights in The Crew?
A: You can flash the headlights by honking the horn, but you cannot use wipers.

Q: Will there be weather in the game like rain and thunderstorms?
A: No there will not be any diverse weather, but there will be snow in the mountains.

Q: Is cross platform racing possible with The Crew?
A: No that is not possible. There will be servers for each platform that can't cross over.

Q: Will we be able to build custom races or challenges with The Crew?
A: No, not at this time. We can't promise anything, but this is something that would be fun to add.

Q: Will there be hidden packages all around the map?
A: Yes there will be hidden packages to find across the map to collect.

Q: How many hidden packages will there be?
A: No comment at this time.

Q: What will the hidden packages unlock?
A: They will unlock a secret kit car that is built in your garage.

Q: Will there be a way to flip or move the HUD on screen?
A: No not at this time.

Q: How will the police work in the game?
A: They will have a 5 star wanted level. When the level increases more cars or helicopters will join in and you have to escape the wanted area indicated on the map. We will go into more at a later time.

Q: Will there be citations and arrests?
A: Yes if you are busted there will be a fine to pay.

Q: Is the box art final?
A: The normal box art is final, we have a special box art for the special edition.

Q: How did you research the cars and map for The Crew?
A: We took plenty of pictures of buildings and landmarks and used those to help model the map and lands. We also used internet research to help aid us in making the map. As far as cars go we used real pictures and manufacturer specs to design the cars.

Q: Will the cars have real sounds?
A: Yes Ubisoft Reflections will be doing that with real cars.

Q: What other role does Reflections have with this game?
A: They are also making the PS4 version of the game as well as a few more background projects like car sounds.**

Q: What was the original concept of The Crew?
A: It was called Project Route 66, which later was changed.

Q: Will there be a test track or a way to test mods in a closed environment?
A: Yes you can test mods on open roads, or you can use one of the circuit tracks we included in the map.

Q: Will you get a wanted level for speeding or wrecking?
A: If you hit a police car that will cause a wanted level, but hitting other cars won't. However if you hit enough cars you will get a police warning to which will become a wanted level if you keep smashing items or cars.

Q: Will split screen be possible?
A: No, this game is meant to be played online with friends. It would require double the bandwidth and power to pull it off.

Q: Have the devs settled on the day and night cycle?
A: For the time being it is still set up for 2 hours.

Q: Will a guide be published for the game?
A: Yes we will publish guides on our official website about the game.

Q: Will there be a arcade version coming?
A: This is something that we want to work on and possibly test. No promises though.

Q: What type of games will Ivory Tower focus on in the future?
A: We love racing games!

Q: Will the car be auto fixed when going into your garage?
A: The damage will self repair itself on the road to a certain point. In the garage there will be a fee to fully repair your car.

Q: Will there be a poster map?
A: No comment.

Q: What is the release date?
A: We don't want to share that yet, but it will be coming soon.

Q: Will you need to refuel?
A: No

Q: Can you play as police?
A: No comment at this time.

Q: How will fast travel work?
A: You can fast travel using planes, trains, and the map for a small fee.

Q: Will the kinect be used in The Crew?
A: No the kinect will not be used.

Q: Will the wheels have force feedback?
A: Yes, it will have force feedback.(It worked really really well)
