The second weekly event of 2025 has added a fresh GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride for gamers to collect in Los Santos. From now until January 15, 2025, the Declasse Impaler LX can be won as a Podium Vehicle featured at The Diamond Casino & Resort. Similarly, the Vapid Caracara 4x4 can be claimed by competing in the LS Car Meet Series and getting a top-three position for two consecutive days.
For gamers to analyze if these are worth their time and grind, let’s quickly learn about the new GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride car.
GTA Online Podium Vehicle is Declasse Impaler LX: Design and performance (January 9 to 15, 2025)
The brand new GTA Online weekly update of 2025 has brought the Declasse Impaler LX back into the limelight as the newest Podium Vehicle. The four-door muscle/sedan debuted in Los Santos in 2023 as part of The Chop Shop DLC update. Rockstar seemingly took design inspiration from a couple of real-life automobiles for its design:
- 1980–1985 Chevrolet Impala – Overall design
- Chevrolet Caprice – Singe-beam headlights, chrome roof trim, and bumpers
- 1978–1979 Oldsmobile 88 – Tail lights
The cop variant of the car, the Declasse Impaler LX Cruiser, also shares the same design.
In terms of performance, the vehicle can reach a top speed of 115.50 mph (185.88 km/h) and complete a lap in about 1:07.969.
The Prize Ride of the Week is Vapid Caracara 4x4: Design and performance (January 9 to 15, 2025)
The newest Prize Ride of the Week is Vapid Caracara 4x4, a four-door off-road pick-up truck that has been a part of the game since 2019’s The Diamond Casino & Resort DLC update. It is also expected to return in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. The following real-life rides seem to be the inspiration behind it:
- 13th-generation 2014–2018 Ford F-150
- Shelby F-150
- VWerks Predator Package for the F-150.
- 1st-generation Raptor
- Facelifted 12th-generation Ford F-Series
- 2014–2021 Toyota Tundra
- 2nd-generation Nissan Titan
- Ram Rebel TRX concept
When it comes to performance, the Caracara 4x4 can complete a lap in 1:10.538 and reach a maximum speed of 103.25 mph (166.16 km/h).
Rockstar will swap the aforementioned GTA Online Podium Vehicle and Prize Ride car with new rides on January 16, 2025.
