Which is the best vehicle to purchase at a discount this week?
As Arena War is the best way to make money in GTA 5 this week, you should grab the Vapid Future Shock Imperator for a 40% discounted price. It is a 2-door custom muscle car that was added to the game with the Arena War update in 2018. Like the Apocalypse variant, the vehicle has taken inspiration from the real-life Ford Falcon XB GT (1973) with some slight changes, like the usage of a traditional rear exhaust setup instead of side stacks.
On the performance front, the Future Shock Imperator is powered by a single-cam V8 engine for excellent acceleration. According to the testing done by well-known creator Broughy1322, the muscle car can reach a staggering top speed of 132.75 mph (213.64 km/h) with ease.
While the vehicle has a tendency to slide out while taking corners at high speeds, you can easily upgrade the brakes at any LS Customs to handle it much better.
Being an Arena War vehicle, you can install Shunt and Jump mods. Boost upgrades can also be installed to significantly improve its short-run speed.
Two top-mounted weapons can be installed on the hood, which can include the short-barreled Browning M2HB machine gun, the M1919 Browning-like machine gun, or a laser gun. You can also add two rear-facing mortar cannons to significantly increase its offensive capabilities.
While the current GTA 6 leaks don’t disclose what type of vehicles will return in the upcoming blockbuster by Rockstar, you can expect the Imperator to return in some capacity due to its popularity.
