5 reasons to buy GTA Online's Coil Raiden (post-Cluckin Bell Farm Raid update)

The Coil Raiden is one of the best vehicles in the GTA Online roster that is currently available for purchase. The recent Cluckin Bell Farm Raid update added some new cars to the game offering more options to players inevitably making several older vehicles obscure. Fortunately, the recent weekly update has brought the Coil Raiden back into the limelight.

Being an older car that was added to the game back in 2017, many new players are unaware of its features. Being removed from the stores is another reason behind this as well.

So, this article will shed more light on the Coil Raiden and why is it still a great purchase after the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid update.

Tesla is an incredibly popular electric car manufacturer and the Coil Raiden is based on the real-life Tesla Model S. This gives it a sleek and sporty look that is neither too extravagant nor bland. This is one of the reasons why the car used to be so popular back in the day.

Thanks to the ongoing GTA Online weekly update, players looking to curate an electric-only garage in the game can purchase the Coild Raiden and add it to their roster. Once the week is over, the car will once again be unavailable at the stores.

2) It's decently fast with excellent acceleration

Another reason that makes the Coil Raiden worth owning is its speed. While not the fastest car in GTA Online, it still manages to reach a top speed of 113.25 mph (182.26 km/h) without any issues. This is a decent speed for an electric car in the game.

That said, its acceleration is what makes the Coil Raiden so good. Thanks to the electric motor, it can reach its top speed in the blink of an eye. Reversing and catching up to opponents after a crash is also incredibly easy when riding this vehicle. This gives the car an edge over other similar vehicles in the online multiplayer mode.

3) It's currently on sale

Apart from the performance, the design of a car also plays a big role in its popularity. Coil Raiden excels in this department and offers great looks. It has several improvements over other cars in the same category which gives it an edge.

Players particularly like the glass roof of the car that looks incredible in first-person POV. The narrow headlights also make it menacing from the front and combined with the air vent and mesh, the car oozes off luxury while not costing too much. While its interior might be similar to FMJ or Tempesta, it doesn't take anything away from the car but rather makes it even more beautiful.

5) Customization options

The wide variety of customization that the vehicle offers is another reason why players like this car. One can change everything from brakes to bumpers or upgrade the engine further enhancing its performance.

The overall cost to add these parts or upgrade the existing ones is not too high which makes spending time and money on the Coil Raiden worth it. Thanks to the ongoing GTA Online double bonuses, players can stack a lot of cash and spend it on making their cars better.
