The first 2025 weekly event has officially started with a brand new GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride for players to collect in Los Santos. From now until January 8, 2025, the Pfister Growler sports car can be claimed as this week’s Podium Vehicle showcased at The Diamond Casino & Resort. Similarly, the Declasse Mamba can be won by participating in the LSCM races and getting a top-five position for three days in a row.
For players to analyze whether it’s worth their time, let’s quickly learn briefly about the new GTA Online Podium Vehicle and the Prize Ride of the week.
GTA Online Podium Vehicle is Pfister Growler: Design and performance (January 2 to 8, 2025)
The newly released GTA Online weekly update gives players a chance to get Pfister Growler as the Podium Vehicle this week. It made its debut in Los Santos in 2021 and is expected to appear in Grand Theft Auto 6 as well. Judging by its design, the sports car seems to be inspired by the real-life Porsche 718 Cayman.
Powered by a flat-6 engine with a 7-speed gearbox, the Growler can reach a top speed of 121.50 mph (195.53 km/h) and complete one lap in 1:04.231. Being a tuner car, players can install Low Grip Tires and Lowered Vehicle Stance to make it drift more easily. Here are the vehicle’s performance stats for reference:
- Speed: 82.55/100
- Acceleration: 83.44/100
- Braking: 28/100
- Handling: 79.70/100
The Prize Ride of the week is Declasse Mamba: Design and performance (January 2 to 8, 2025)
The new Prize Ride of the week is the Declasse Mamba, a two-seater classic roadster that has been a part of the game since 2015’s Executives and Other Criminals DLC. The real-life AC Cobra (MkIII) seems to be the inspiration behind the car’s design.
Unlike the Willard Outreach Faction, the Mamba runs on a high-displacement V8 engine. According to Broughy1322, the roadster can reach a maximum speed of 117.00 mph (188.29 km/h) and complete a lap in about 1:12.372. It suffers from sensitive steering and limited traction, which could be problematic for beginners.
The fragile durability of the vehicle should also be considered before deciding whether to get it or not. Here are its performance stats:
- Speed: 79.41/100
- Acceleration: 85/100
- Braking: 16.67/100
- Handling: 75.76/100
The next GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride car will be available on January 9, 2025.
