The Vapid Retinue MK II debuted in GTA Online under the Diamond Casino Heist update in December 2019. Its rather tame appearance can make it look like a simple civilian car, but it's among the best performers in the Sports Classics category, making it a worthy addition to your collection. It is available as the Prize Ride car through March 3, 2025, so you can also get it free of cost.
Those interested in the car can read on to learn more about it. Here are five reasons to own a Vapid Retinue MK II in GTA Online.

Vapid Retinue MK II in GTA Online: Here are 5 reasons to own it in 2025
1) Vapid Retinue MK II: Good top speed and lap time
Trending
As stated, the GTA Online Retinue MK II can come across as a regular civilian car at first glance. However, it boasts a pretty solid performance under the hood, especially for a vehicle of its type.
According to tests conducted by popular vehicle YouTuber Broughy1322, a fully upgraded variant of the Retinue MK II can hit a top speed of 120.50 mph (193.93 km/h) and a lap time of 1:05.765. The latter is decent enough, but the former is quite impressive.
2) Vapid Retinue MK II: Among the fastest in its class
The Vapid Retinue MK II is one of the fastest Sports Classics cars in GTA Online in terms of top speed. In fact, few of the rides that bested it in this regard, such as the Lampadati Viseris, Truffadi Z-Type, and the Lampadati Pigalle, are no longer purchasable in the game.
So, if you want a fast Sports Classics ride, the Retinue MK II is a pretty good option. Although its peers like the Pegassi Toreador and Imponte Deluxo are significantly faster, they are also much more expensive.
3) Vapid Retinue MK II: The standard Retinue is no longer purchasable
The standard Vapid Retinue, which costs $615,000, was removed from GTA Online in June 2023 with the San Andreas Mercenaries DLC update. Therefore, players looking for a similar vintage car can consider getting the Retinue MK II instead.
They have very few visual differences. The former was seemingly based on the Ford Escort Mk, while the latter looks inspired by the Ford Escort Mk. II. Additionally, Retinue MK II offers better performance. While it does cost a lot more, you can get it for free during the GTA Online weekly update active as of writing.
4) Vapid Retinue MK II: Decent customizability
This factor may interest those who like tinkering with their cars. The Retinue MK II has 22 customization categories in total (including standard engine, armor, and brake upgrades). There are also options for bumpers, spoilers, roofs, fenders, and hoods.
You even add a roll cage and apply liveries to this vehicle. Completely upgrading the Vapid Retinue MK II can cost up to $351,350; which can be afforded easily by selling Salvage Yard Robbery vehicles.
5) Stands out from the crowd
Many players boast supercars or modern sports cars in GTA Online. Needless to say, a vehicle like the Retinue MK II stands out in such an environment and draws a lot of attention.
This unique vehicle can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $1,620,000 but can also be bought for a Trade Price of $1,215,000. The latter gets unlocked after beating the Diamond Casino Heist as leader with the Retinue MK II. Again, you have a chance to win it as Prize Ride through March 3, 2025.
