A video posted by YouTuber Gam3 4 Lif3 showed a modded gameplay that wowed many fans.

The YouTuber posted a 14-minute-long racing video composed of three parts. However, they also used a number of mods to achieve the surreal graphics output, which blurs the line between the gaming world and real life.

YouTuber transforms GTA 5 into a real-life racing simulator with mods

On February 27, 2023, Gam3 4 Lif3 posted a video demonstrating the insane improvements achieved by the GTA 5 mods. The first part of the video showed the YouTuber racing a Toyota Supra with other NPC cars. While the map looks unfamiliar, according to Gam3 4 Lif3, they used the Ugase City: Fall Update map mod for the gameplay.

The Supra showcases realistic handling, engine sound, and top speeds. Moreover, the lights reflecting from the vehicle's body just add to the wonders of the mods.
