What makes Weeny Issi Rally special in the GTA Online Los Santos Drug Wars update?
The Weeny Issi Rally is a rally-oriented SUV that has drawn design inspiration from the real-life Mini John Cooper Works WRC (Mini Countryman rally variant). It is basically a modern derivation of both the Issi Sport and the classic Issi, as evident by the same compact profile.
On the performance front, the SUV is powered by a lively V8 engine with a 7-speed gearbox in an AWD layout. Based on the testing done by reputed data analyst Broughy1322, the vehicle can reach a decent top speed of 116.75 mph (187.89 km/h). However, if you modify it with HSW Performance Upgrades, it can even touch 138.25 mph (222.49 km/h), which is very impressive for an SUV.
Broughy1322's testing also revealed that it did a laptime of 1:09.219, making it one of the best cars in GTA Online in the same vehicle class. The added HSW eligibility really makes a difference for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users, who can truly feel the power of the upgraded car.
While the vehicle was originally expected to come back as a permanent edition this time, Rockstar is still pushing for the limited-time event. It is very much possible that the developer is just testing the waters with this for the upcoming GTA 6.
