Karin Previon in GTA Online this week: Performance review (April 10 to 16, 2025)

Since its release in 2020 with the Los Santos Tuners DLC, the GTA Online Karin Previon has been quite popular among street racing enthusiasts, and there’s a good reason behind it. The two-door coupe is powered by a V8 engine with a 5-speed gearbox in an RWD layout. As per in-game files, its top speed is 92.86 mph (149.45 km/h), but it can go much faster.

According to the testing done by Broughy1322, the Karin Previon can go up to a maximum speed of 115.25 mph (185.48 km/h) after being fully upgraded. It can also complete one lap in about 1:04.731. While it doesn’t look like much, the Previon comes in the top 10 non-HSW coupes in the game in terms of top speed:

Fathom FR36 – 121.5 mph
Enus Windsor – 118.5 mph
Enus Windsor Drop – 118.25 mph
Ocelot F620 – 118.25 mph

GTA Online Karin Previon’s design inspiration

The Previon in GTA Online is primarily based on the real-life 3rd-generation Toyota Soarer (Z30) or 1st-generation Lexus SC. Moreover, some resemblance can be seen to the following automobiles:

4th generation Honda Prelude
Penumbra FF
1996–1998 Nissan Skyline
1988–1994 Nissan Silvia
1994–1999 Toyota Celica GT-Four

While the 1980s design is already appealing itself, the available modifications allow players to make the ride look like ported straight from a 2000s Need for Speed game.
