While players can no longer purchase it normally, it is available at Simeon’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom at a 40% discounted price during the ongoing GTA Online weekly update. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to add a sweet old-school car to their garage. It is based on the real-life Maserati Merak, Ghibli I, Citroen SM, and Alpine A310.

While its top speed is limited to 115.50 mph (185.88 km/h), its ability to drift and handle surpasses this downside. On top of that, it only costs $1,370,000 to purchase, which is worth every penny. The Annis Remus is based on the real-life Nissan Silvia S13.
