Grotti Turismo R in GTA Online – Price, performance, and more (2023)

The Grotti Turismo R was added to the game in 2014 as part of the Business Update, and Rockstar Games made sure the vehicle stood out from the rest. Its visual design seems to be based on the following real-life cars for different parts:

LaFerrari – Overall design

Trion Nemesis – Front lip

GTA Spano – Headlights

Mazzanti Evantra – Tail lights

McLaren P1 – Rear shape

Corvette C7 – Diffuser

The visual appearance of the Turismo R consists of the following characteristics, giving it many sharp edges and curves:

Front body:

• Carbon-fiber insert on the curved-shaped front end
• CFRP separation to distance the meshed intakes
• Bulky upper area with two black-colored vertical housings
• Dual circular lamps
• A wedge shape on the bonnet area
• Two V-shaped intakes
• A Grotti emblem on the bonnet area’s edge

Side body:

• Large-sized concave sections
• Carbon-fibre side-skirts
• A silver-colored Grotti lettering nearby the front wheels
• Large-sized curved-shaped panels that cover the rear intakes
• Rear-view mirror wings

Rear body:

• A slanted section
• Triangle-shaped rear-window
• Four small-sized vents
• Two curved-shaped vents
• A Grotti logo

Turismo R’s interior resembles Banshee's, especially its dial set, features, and layout.

On the performance front, the supercar is powered by a single-overhead camshaft V8 engine, and its intercoolers suggest that it is turbocharged as well. The vehicle is purchasable from Legendary Motorsport for a price of $500,000 after the latest GTA Online weekly update.

Is it worth purchasing Turismo R in GTA Online after the San Andreas Mercenaries update?

The Grotti Turismo R is a special car in GTA Online for its superior performance. The vehicle possesses excellent acceleration that helps it to reach a staggering top speed of 121.75 mph (195.94 km/h) with relative ease. The car also works on an electric motor, eliminating any power loss during gear shifts.

Players can use it in races and dominate the competitors or easily escape the chaos in the Freemode. While its performance is not the same as that of the new Penaud La Coureuse, it’s still worthy of being one of the fastest cars in the game.
