GTA 5 fan expectations from Karin S95

5) Highly customizable

The Karin S95 will be given away for free to those migrating to the next-gen consoles. For others, the car will be at Hao's Special Works.

Judging by the screenshots, the ride will most likely be placed in the tuners or sports class. The real-life car this is based on is highly customizable, and the in-game version should follow suit.

4) Drifting

The GTA 5 car community has become quite massive. This growth has been exponential since the Tuners DLC, which brought many cars, and the LS Car Meet.

Earlier, GTA 5 cars were owned for looks and customizations, but drifting became a reality after low grip tires made their way into the title.

Since then, gamers can be seen trying to swerve around LS traffic and races. The Toyota GT86 is an amazingly fun machine for drifting, so the Karin S95 has a lot to live up to.

3) Price to performance ratio

Every Grand Theft Auto 5 gamer knows that the prices of in-game items are insanely high. When it comes to cars, the balance just isn't there. Some are absurdly expensive when they aren't worth it, and others are just too cheap.

The Karin S95 will never be priced like its real-life counterpart, as the GT86 is about $30,000. But a decently-priced vehicle would be a welcome change.

Customizations are expensive, and a few users do so quite frequently. Considering it will be a free vehicle for most, it isn't going to be the best among the new cars, so the price should reflect the same.

2) Impeccable handling

Currently, GTA 5 has lots of great cars that suffer from quite a bit of under and oversteer. This is most prevalent in muscle cars, sports cars, and SUVs.

However, the Karin S95, being a tuner or sports car, should have almost perfect handling.

1) Similarity to the Toyota GT86

Rockstar Games always adds cars to GTA inspired by their real-life counterparts. Over time, the game has seen the addition of many iconic cars like the Audi R8, Lamborghini Diablo, Ferrari F12, etc.

The Karin S95 resembles the Toyota GT86 and has become one of the most anticipated cars in the title. Fans have been asking for it for quite some time.

Rockstar has now granted their wish, but how much the Karin S95 mirrors the GR86 remains to be seen. However, the expectations are pretty high.
