I don't see the other cars like the Nero, the comet classic and the specter on any of the websites. Is it like heists again where I have to complete vehicle cargo missions in order to unlock them? Or is Rockstar just saving the rest for the coming weeks ahead? Sorry if it may seem too early to ask this question since the DLC has just been released like an hour ago.

Elegy RH8 costs $858,000 to turn into the Elegy Retro. No new performance upgrades (like super transmission for Sultan RS) and is still in the Sports class, apparently.

Timed release possibly, or Christmas surprise.

R32 Skyline, XJ220, the Tempesta being much closer to the Rossolini namesake than I'd dare to imagine..

rip my bank account, was nice knowing you.

Right then, after going into the game and getting the Elegy without spoiling anything by looking at any forums, i suppose i'll give it a "Yes-i-do-:censored:ing-like-it <3" out of 10.
It has the a similar amount of customization to the Sultan RS and the 900R, yet doesn't decide to bail into the Supers class, and considering that you get it by Benny-fying the normal Elegy(which is a fact that i found i could easily cope with) probably means good things.

How does it handle/sound in comparison to the RH8?

 

[CSMDuty11]

How does it handle/sound in comparison to the RH8?

Handles: Considerably less understeer than the RH8, easy to get into a slide, also seems to accelerate a bit quicker from a standstill
Sounds: Definitely less generic than the RH8, could probably expect the sound of a fully tuned one from a fairly tuned Skyline, though i can't trust myself to judge sounds.

Spoiler: Looks: Amazing

And don't let Steam's image compression tell you otherwise.

And yes, it has racing liveries.

Also, i've been hearing reports that upgrading your regular Elegy drops the performance upgrades you've put on it, however it isn't something i'd notice myself considering i've got a second one to turn into a Skyline instead.

 

[inCloud]

80 000 $ per CEO vehicle export mission, not bad 👍

We need a "super-like"-button for that RH8

Is it worth getting the new CEO garage thing?

 

[CSMDuty11]

Is it worth getting the new CEO garage thing?

While i haven't bought it myself, the starting price, atleast for Maze Bank West, starts at 1.15 Million, plus 855k for the second floor, which is, obviously enough, necessary for the third floor, which costs 745K, rounding up to 2,75M without the Auto Shop, which would send it up to 3,65M.
And that's only going with the cheapest option for all of those.

 

[Leadfoot530]

But I didn't like the video, should I still smash the like button?

The T20 looks good in that colour btw. Custom crew colour I take it?

First question, yes. Second question, yes.

Closest thing I could get to MSO Cerulean Blue.

Now on to the DLC. The roadgoing cars for the most part don't look all that badly priced. It's the flamboyant stuff where the costs are through the roof. Honestly, just from a glance, there isn't a whole lot I need to buy right now. The CEO Garages can wait until I actually need the room. I'll have to get in-game to really see if I need anything.

 

[MMX]

Not really seeing anything that interest me, except maybe the Wasteland truck.

Elegy and KITT Other cars being leaked here https://twitter.com/foxysnaps

Spoiler: COMET CLASSIC

Oh my god. They all look better than I was expecting!

 

[pokemonfan58]

I have a problem guys.

I'm trying to launch the ramp buggy mission from my office but when I launch it the mission doesn't start. I just get a notification telling me that my computer is unavailable during a mission and when I get off my chair nothing happens.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

[Niyologist]

The Rocket Powered Voltic is insanely fast.

 

[Dan]

One thing I haven't seen people talk about is the fact that all of the leaks for this update were correct. Of course, we need to be skeptical of information that might be false, but the leakers (funmw2, Yan2295, etc) were spot-on with everything. Even that R* developer on 4chan: "You're getting a Skyline and you're going to ****ing like it."

 

[Leadfoot530]

Just to reiterate, you can test some (not all) of the vehicals in a deathmatch in the creator, and I have hopes of testing them in races as well. Might save you a few bucks here and there.

 

[Dan]

Since I don't have the update installed yet, can somebody tell me why vehicles like the ramp buggy and Phantom Wedge have two prices listed online?

I believe the higher price is for if you haven't done the mission associated with the car.

If you have done the mission, you get a discount (which is the lower price).

Hmm. Makes sense. What are the requirements to access these missions? I already have a CEO office and a measly garage near Vespucci Beach.

 

[STI9]

Apparently the KITT Ruiner only has 8 rockets, at which point I imagine you need to call it in again - 👍 Good guy R*

 

[Leadfoot530]

Elegy upgraded to the R32. Expect to spend $1mil on upgrade/performance with no cosmetics.

Stays in sports class, but doesn't feel very fast. I find it hard to believe that it'll ever come close to being number one in the class, let alone unbalance it.

Add the showroom upgrade to the office I believe.

What I understood from my quick sneak peek after installing, you'll have to have a warehouse. Kind of like you can't do cratemissions if you don't have the warehouse to store the crates

Edit: In case you didn't know, you can also change the appearance of your character for $100k. Be aware though, if you choose to do it, but then decides that you don't want to, you'll still be charged that 100k

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I have a question about the CEO offices/garages in the new update.
Do they act like your regular apartments with garages, meaning you can sleep, watch tv, change clothes in them etc?

My plan is to buy a CEO office with a 60 car garage along with a warehouse for the import/export business side and then sell the other garages/apartments I have to get some money back.
