A look at the Tailgater S in GTA Online
“After a day of synergizing teleconferences in your underwear, nothing provides an escape like the Tailgater S. Go to the right auto shop and you'll have a car that looks like a street racer on the outside, while on the inside it gives you the kind of air-conditioned comfort you need to pull over and give 110% in your team's 9 pm Idea Shower.”
— Legendary Motorsport description.
Launched as one of the first few vehicles from the LS Tuners DLC, the Obey Tailgater S kicked off Rockstar's fresh breed of cars. Based on the Audi RS3 and S5 from real life, the Obey Tailgater S is a four-door performance sedan.
Armed with a 6-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drivetrain, the Tailgater S clocks in a respectable top speed of 115.75 mph (186.28 km/h) when fully upgraded. While this is nowhere near the upper echelon of GTA Online's hypercars, the Tailgater S manages to provide value in the fact that it's a four-door ride that can carry the entire squad.
In LS Tuners race series, players are advised not to use the Tailgater S unless completely necessary as its slow acceleration puts it at a disadvantage against the likes of the Calico GTF.
