—Twisted Metal: Black - Instruction Manual

Crazy 8 is a new vehicle introduced in Twisted Metal: Black.

Special Weapon

• Field Surge: When initiated, Crazy 8's Special Attack surrounds the car in an electric surge that seeks out nearby targets. An additional surge explodes with every tap of the Fire Weapon button [default: L2] (press it repeatedly for max damage). The electric field can also be charged up by pressing the directional button rapidly three times in the direction of the enemy (↑ ← ↓ →) before pressing the Fire Weapon button. Make sure to keep opponents close, otherwise the electric connection will be lost.

Trivia

• The vehicle is likely named after the shedding-type card game Crazy Eights.
• A concept art of Crazy 8 (and its special weapon) suggests that it was originally going to be "Outlaw". The concept can be seen on Sweet Tour and in the gallery below.
  • Other concepts for Crazy 8 include one with a simple painjob, one closer to the final design, and one with the number "69" instead.
• Crazy 8 was scheduled to be in Twisted Metal: Harbor City, keeping the same design and special weapon as from its supposed prequel Twisted Metal: Black. The car isn't selectable from the main menu in the most recent leaked build of the game, only being present in the files.
• A model of Crazy 8 had been made for Twisted Metal (2012) as DLC, but was cancelled for unknown reasons before the game was released.
• In real life, Cord 810's are very rare and expensive, making it a rather unlikely choice for competing in a Twisted Metal tournament.
  • However, it is mentioned that the vehicle that No-Face drives in Twisted Metal: Black was actually a car his father won after a championship match - it could be plausible for a Cord 810 to have been offered as a prize considering it's rarity and expensiveness, and since No-Face was a boxer following his father's footsteps, it would also be likely for him to take the car; both for being a tribute to his father and one of his few options considering his mostly broke lifestyle before competing in the Twisted Metal contest.
• This vehicle was made by designer Corey Kruitbosch.
