Bringing forth the underground Tuner scene is a great idea for Los Santos, and those that populate it can find every Tuner vehicle in GTA Online below, and come to a decision on whether one or more of these vehicles is worth investing in.

How Expensive Are Tuner Car Modifications?
With 17 Tuner Update cars in GTA Online, players are going to need quite a wad of cash to fully upgrade each one. As usual, vehicles have a set amount of modifications that drastically improve the stats, and these can be found below:
Modification Type |

A vehicle that provides comfort in design and performance, the Tailgater S will set players back a hefty amount of money, but it’s the price to pay for luxury. The vehicle itself drives pretty well thanks to its high acceleration and handling, but it doesn’t give the appearance that some might crave from an underground Tuner vehicle.
16
Dinka RT3000
Top Speed: 119.25 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,715,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)
- Trade Price: $1,286,250 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)
- Total Upgrade Cost: $631,278
Speed |

A steep price can make all the difference, and with the Dinka RT3000, players will leave the competition in the dust when it comes to those classic street races. The vehicle might seem small, but that’s perfect for being underestimated, as the Dinka RT3000 is a competent vehicle with great stats.
15
Vulcar Warrener HKR
Top Speed: 106.50 MPH
- Only obtainable through other players at the LS Car Meet.
- Total Upgrade Cost: $317,350
Speed |

Handling |

Despite being sturdy and reliable, this is a vehicle that won’t catch a nice eye. It’s an expensive piece of kit that doesn’t seem to earn much love based on its pickup appearance, so it might be hard for some fans out there to make this work and increase their street cred if they’re rolling around in a mediocre car that they overpaid for.
14
Vapid Dominator ASP
Top Speed: 119 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,775,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)

Stylistic and desirable, this muscle car-inspired vehicle will truly dominate the competition in terms of performance and appearance. It might not be a classic, but it’s old-school enough to catch an eye or two. Players can easily turn this vehicle into a beast worthy of the road and watchful eyes.
13
Karin Sultan RS Classic
Top Speed: 117.50 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,789,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)

At first glance, players might not be too impressed with the Karin Sultan RS Classic, especially when it looks like a vehicle perfect for an aunt. Yet, it has the performance that makes it a sleeper pick, and players can expect an impressive ride that can make some races seem like a thrilling breeze.

Another willingly expensive addition to any garage, the Previon provides players with a dangerous ride, one that could be in their favor or against them based on how much they have spent on modifications and who is holding the wheel. It’s a fairly modest car, and doesn’t look the most attractive, especially for that price.
11
Cypher
Top Speed: 113.50 MPH

When purchasing something from Legendary Motorsport, players should expect a pricey ride but one that exceeds their expectations. The Cypher can provide that desire, with a powerful and intimidating engine that will see players speed across Los Santos like a desirable supercar. Its appearance also makes for a great addition for those riding to impress.
10
Growler

The Growler’s name is very much deserving, as this puppy will growl its way to first place thanks to its intense speed and acceleration. The vehicle is humble and respectable in appearance and handling, providing players with a vehicle that will look just as good as it performs, and the asking price isn’t too bad.
9
Vectre
Top Speed: 115.25 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,785,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
- Trade Price: $1,338,750 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

The Vectre seems to stubborn to go quietly, and this vehicle doesn’t exactly look the part for an underground vehicle, but all it does is prove how much cash the player who owns this vehicle has. The vehicle is impressionable and violent, and those with it can live a supermodel lifestyle and avoid the outdated classics and rustbuckets that prefer performance over appearance.
8
Comet S2
Top Speed: 123 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,878,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
- Trade Price: $1,408,500 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

Braking |
29.33 |
Handling |

The Comet S2 goes far beyond just being a fast car with great stats. Players are going to be amazed by the performance, but even more so by the pricey cosmetics and modifications. The Comet S2 is a great vehicle that leaves strong impressions, and other players might desire it, especially with some liveries being directly inspired by Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche from Cyberpunk 2077.

The ZR350 sounds and looks rather futuristic, bringing a sci-fi element to the retro vibes of the underground tuner scene. Whilst the performance is fairly average for a vehicle in the Legendary Motorsport category, it’s still worth a purchase for those who want a stylish vehicle and something that drives with power, finesse, and clout.

The Annis Euros is a pretty hip car and something that can easily be seen as a classic based on visual appearance alone. Players might enjoy grabbing this vehicle to see a decent set of stats further rewarded with Drift Tuning Modifications. Euros is expensive, but if players want to look stylish and impressive they’re going to need to spend cash.
5
Jester RR
Top Speed: 125 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,970,000 (Legendary Motorsport)
- Trade Price: $1,477,500 (Random chance after 5 Los Santos Tuners Reputation levels)

The Dinka Jester is beloved for a few reasons, and the RR variant provides the tuners out there with a car that can face the apocalypse with a smile and a roaring engine. The high speeds of this vehicle and its impressive stats are worth the price alone, but paired with the sleek and smug aesthetic of the future of engineering? It’s a notable bonus worth purchasing.
4
Karin Futo GTX
Top Speed: 119.75 MPH
- Stock Price: $1,590,000 (Southern S.A. Super Autos)

The Futo GTX doesn’t look all that impressive, and its design seems fairly outdated by at least 4 decades. Nevertheless, players can find a moderate performance, but one that only sees a benefit from players willing to invest to optimize the performance. The Futo GTX doesn’t look or feel like the best, so maybe leave it in the junkyard.

Compared to other tuner vehicles, the Annis Remus is one of the cheaper options and one of the more optimized performances. The appearance doesn’t seem like an emperor, but maybe it’s one humble enough to be nurtured into a Caesar. The appearance can definitely take on a set of upgrades and modifications that will turn some heads.

Vapid Dominator GTT
