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.

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.

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

5) Its custom hood option often disappears
While the various customization options available for the Karin Calico GTF in GTA Online are excellent, there are some minor bugs and glitches associated with the car. One such bug makes the custom hood option invisible if it is detached from the car.
