GTA Online Update Review: Why You Need The Progen GP1 And Which Upgrades To Buy First

The GTA Online weekly update is here – and while it’s not the most exciting of updates, there are a few decent things GTA fans can snap up.

First up – the podium vehicle, and this week it’s the Progen GP1 Super Car. With its McLaren F1 inspired lines, butterfly doors and roaring engine, it’s certainly a lot of fun, to drive.

To get the most out of it, head down to Los Santos Customs and add the active spoiler. The stock car doesn’t come with one as standard.

If you’re tight on budget, upgrade your armour as well as your brakes in the first instance, before buying the best exhaust you can afford in phase 2. For even more punch, add a turbo – but do not do this without upgrading brakes first, as the car will struggle at high speeds.

Below are all the upgrades along with prices, so you can pick and choose based on your budget!

Moving to the interior and the GP1 is pretty stunning. Unlike the McLaren, there’s no central driving position – but there are plenty of dials inside to make the whole thing an enjoyable ride in the first-person view.

The vehicle first arrived in the game back during the Cunning Stunts: Vehicle Circuit update on March 14, 2017 – so it’s unlikely to turn heads like it used to. Still, it costs $1,260,000 which is pretty hefty and is certainly a nice addition to any garage.

There’s also a couple of vehicles on sale – the Western Rampart Rocket, down from $925,000 to $555,000 and the Nagasaki Shotaro – still pricy at $1,446,250 – down from a touch over $2m. The pick of the bunch is the Grotti X80 Proto – down from $2,700,000 to $1,755,00. Unlike the GP1, which resembles a lower-end hypercar, the Grotti is a full-fat speed machine. It’s not by chance, either. It was the first car in the series to be based on a concept car – namely the Ferrari F80 Concept. There’s an in-built spoiler, which also acts an airbrake while LED lights pair beautifully with its sharp lines to scream performance.
