GTA Online's New Racing-Themed Event Kicks Off With Five New Cars
It’s been well over four years since the online portion of Grand Theft Auto V was launched and Rockstar has been keeping things fresh with a nice, constant stream of updates and new content. The latest of those is the ‘Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series’, which promises to introduce plenty of racing-themed goodies over the next couple of months.
To get you started there are five new cars. First up is the Cheval Taipan, a Hennessey Venom F5-esque super car that’ll cost you just shy of $2,000,000 in-game dollars.
If that’s not expensive enough for you, then there’s another addition to the super class in the shape of the Koenigsegg-inspired Entity XXR. The price? A hefty $2,305,000.
Next up is the mid-engined, four-wheel drive Vapid GB200, a clear copy of the legendary Group B Ford RS200 which can be given the full-on customisation treatment to look like the rally weapon it was born to be.
Bizarrely for an update focused on racing, Rockstar has decided to include a car based on the Volvo Amazon estate. What the Vulcar Fagaloa lacks in speed, however, it makes up for in style, with plenty of customisation options available for you to put your own spin on the retro wagon.
The final car is perhaps the star of the update and should be instantly familiar to anyone who played Vice City or San Andreas. The Hotring Sabre is GTA Online’s take on a late ‘80s/early ‘90s Nascar racer and comes in a variety of awesome liveries.
The Hotring Sabre also features in the new racing mode, Hotring Circuit, a toned-down version of the stunt races which sees up to 30 cars racing at once at any one of 10 different track layouts.
Hotring Circuit is the first of two new racing modes coming as part of this update. The other is called Target Assault, where teams of two have to marry driving skills with shooting proficiency in order to score points.
Target Assault isn’t coming until 3 April, but the new cars and Hotring Circuit events are available right now, with double RP and GTA$ being offered until 26 March. There are also discounts on vehicle storage and customisation options, perfect for making the most of all of those shiny new motors.
Loads more content is also being introduced as part of the update, including new races and new track creator tools, all of which will be rolled out over the next couple of months.

Don’t buy any of the new cars they are super slow cause R* put a new flag on the cars. Their not good for racing
They’re*
“What the car lacks in speed”… All the cars in this DLC are slow
From all of the cars that were just released, the Amazon has to be my favorite. It just looks awesome and it spits mad flames 😎

And unlocking all these cars, that you might as well mod in the game, will cost over 50$, excluding all modifications. At this moment, all Rockstar does, is giving gaming Youtubers new content, and making parents take second mortgages.
Damn, I’ve already bought the GB200 (RS200) and the Hotring sabre (Nascar). I’ve seen what is coming in a few weeks, I really want to get the Flash GT (Fiesta WRC), Ellie (‘69 mustang), Dominator GTX (Charger/Mustang mashup) the Cheburek (Lada) and eventhough it isn’t that amazingly done the Jester Classic (Supra). Maybe even the Issi Classic (Mini Morris). I wanted to buy a few things from older dlcs, but I thought let’s just wait for the next update, maybe it’ll have a few interesting stuff.
Sweet more cars we can’t afford
There’s more cars that you can actually imagine in this update: https://www.carthrottle.com/post/3l9bvyk/
