1) Ocelot Virtue

The Ocelot Virtue is undoubtedly the best free vehicle in the game. It is a Super Car based on the Lotus Evija that can hit a top speed of 119.25 mph or 191.91 km/h. Its acceleration is also quick, making it one of the fastest cars in GTA Online.

To get the Armored Enus Paragon R in GTA Online after San Andreas Mercenaries update, players must purchase a Diamond Casino and Resport Penthouse and complete all Casino missions solo or with associates as the host. This is the only way to get this car in the game.

3) Benefactor Dubsta

Purchasing the Diamond Casino and Resort Penthouse can also help players get a free gold or silver variant of the Benefactor Dubsta. It is an SUV whose design is inspired by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Once players purchase the casino penthouse, they can access Ms. Baker's Casino missions in GTA Online.

They will also be able to request vehicles from her, including the Benefactor Dubsta. Upon ordering that car, players must drive past Los Santos Customs outlets at Rockford Hills or near LSIA to make the exclusive Dubsta variant spawn. Once found, it can be stolen and stored inside an owned property.

Doing this will allow them to set up an Acid Lab inside the vehicle and make money in GTA Online. Hence, getting the MTL Brickade 6x6 for free is much better than paying $1,450,000 for it on Warstock Cache and Carry.
