The GTA Cheburek is a budget sedan in GTA 5 Online that highly resembles the real-life VAZ-2101. Moreover, its overall design also seems to be inspired by the following automobiles:

  • VAZ-2106 – Front end and the boot
  • Datsun 510 – Rear fascia
  • Moskvitch-2140SL – Front bumper, rear bumper, and plastic trim

There’s also a livery available for the vehicle, called Tinkle Mobile, that seems to be based on the liveries available for Lada VFTS.

The simplistic design of the car makes it an appealing ride for classic sedan enthusiasts.

As per the in-game files, the GTA 5 Cheburek is powered by a small inline-4 engine and possesses a top speed of 86.99 mph (140.00 km/h). However, it has been found that the actual performance of this sports-classic car is much higher than that.

According to Brough1322, a popular analyst who tested the ride, the Cheburek can go up to a maximum speed of 108.50 mph (174.61 km/h) after being fully upgraded. It can also complete one lap in 1:12.339.

Moreover, the automobile has a very responsive handling, making it a great choice to traverse through the traffic in Los Santos.
