Toyota Celica is a popular real-life vehicle and Rockstar Games used it as a reference to design the Karin Calico GTF in GTA Online. This is the biggest reason why the vehicle looks so sleek and stylish without going too extravagant or over the top.

While there are some inspirations from other cars like the third-generation Toyota Soarer (Z30) and the 1999–2001 Hyundai Tiburon (RD2), these are delimited to headlights or certain specific parts of the car. However, if you want to create a Toyota garage in the game and add one of their best cars, then the Calico GTF is your go-to option.


2) It's great for races

The Karin Calico GTF in GTA Online is one of the best cars to use for both street and track racing. While it does understeer a bit, it is manageable and its speed and well as acceleration more than make up for it. The car can reach a top speed of 121.25 mph (195.13 km/h) quite easily which is great during races.

It has good acceleration and braking which is superb around the corners. However, you need to be careful and let go of the throttle otherwise the car will understeer heavily making you lose speed. Other than that, the car is simply perfect for the racing scenario of the online multiplayer mode of the title.


3) The car can drift

Not many players would think of the Karin Calico GTF in GTA Online as a drift car but it is quite capable of doing so. While it might not have the special Drift Tuning modification like some others, you can put the Low Grip Tires and lower the vehicle's stance which allows it to glide around the corners.

This makes it one of the best cars in GTA Online to take for drift racing, especially if you don't own any vehicle that can apply the Drift Tuning modification. This car is slick and tackles the corners easily making the rider comfortable around the bends. One can try it out in the LS Car Meet since the vehicle is available as the Prize Ride during the ongoing GTA Online weekly update.


4) It's one of the most customizable vehicles
