2) Ocelot Stromberg

The Ocelot Stromberg is an armored and weaponized Sports Car. It amalgamates several real-life cars like the Maserati Bora, a 1970s European sports car, and Wet Nellie, the Lotus Esprit from the James Bond "The Spy Who Loved Me." While Stromberg's top speed is average, it is highly durable against explosives, bulletproof from the back, and can fire its own Homing Missiles.

However, Stromberg's most unique feature is its ability to traverse in water like the Pegassi Toreador. Fortunately, unlike the Toreador, Ocelot Stromberg is cheaper after the new GTA Online weekly update. Players can purchase it from Warstock Cache and Carry for $2,500,000 or a Trade Price of $1,875,000.
