A new event week has just started in GTA Online and a quick look at the new weekly update tells us there's plenty of new bonuses for players. That also means more money to spend and new vehicles to unlock or purchase.

For the sake of this page, we're going to take a look at the Emperor Vectre. This isn't a new Podium Car or Prize Ride, but simply a new car added as part of the drip-feed of content from the Los Santos Tuners DLC.

Naturally, some GTA Online fans could be wondering if this car is worth buying, hence this quick review.

So, without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the hot new sports car coasting around San Andreas and if it’s worth getting for your GTA Online car collection.

Emperor Vectre Review

The Emperor Vectre was released in August 2021 as part of the Los Santos Tuners update and is compared to a "supermodel with a mean 100m sprint", according to Legendary Motorsport.

Having only just launched let's not give the car a scored review just yet, but let’s continue to break down the vehicle, its stats and whether it’s worth purchasing.

The good thing is that you can test drive the vehicle on the Test Track as part of the Los Santos Tuners update this week.

Where Can I Buy The Emperor Vectre?

If you've got the cash, the Vectre offers a V8 engine in a weighty, but powerful vehicle. It's also a tight steer, meaning you'll want to be confident in your cornering abilities.

It's powerful, but that power needs to be harnessed – so be prepared to spend some money on repairs while you get to grips with it.

If you have the cash to splash - and let's face it, players can earn plenty of money with the new daily exotic exports car list - we reckon it's at least worth a look.
