Maibatsu Penumbra FF in GTA Online: Price, design, engine, & more

The Maibatsu Penumbra FF is one of the tuner sports cars in GTA Online that was added with the 2020's Los Santos Summer Special update. Car enthusiasts can immediately recognize a resemblance to the real-life Mitsubishi Eclipse (2nd generation). However, the vehicle is actually based on a couple of more vehicles for different parts of the body:

• Nissan Skyline (1996-1998) – Headlights shape and clusters
• Honda Integra Type R (1995-1998) – Front bumper
• Mitsubishi Eclipse (1st generation) – Rear badge placement and taillight setup
• Toyota MR2 (1990-1992) – Reverse-light placement on the primary taillights

The Penumbra FF carries the following design characteristics, giving it a somewhat similar shape to that of the standard Penumbra:

• A central grille
• Two small square-shaped intakes
• Square-shaped lamps
• Turn signals
• Simplistic side layout
• Large side skirts
• Plastic trim around the windows
• Colored mirrors
• A red strip with the car’s name on it in silver
• Plastic fitting around rear-tail lamps
• Flat rear bumper
• Two exhaust-moldings
• Dual exhausts on the driver-side
• Banshee-like interior

The Maibatsu Penumbra FF runs on a transversely-laid Inline-4 engine with a 5-speed transmission gearbox in an F4 layout. GTA Online players can normally get it for $1,380,000 from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos in-game website.
