GTA 5 June 18 Weekly Update leaked: New Podium car, double RP events and vehicle discounts

Rockstar Games, in an effort to retain their existing player base and bring in new players on GTA Online, introduces a Weekly Update every Thursday.

The Weekly Update brings a new Podium Car for the Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel Spin. It also brings along several vehicle discounts and double RP Events.

Rockstar avoids introducing any new vehicles during these updates as the game already has a pretty vast collection of vehicles. GTA Online instead offers discounts on existing vehicles.

The June 18 Weekly Update will drop in just a few hours. However, Reddit user u/Call_Me_Tsuikyit has already come up with a leak for this week's update. Reddit users on r/gtaononline have been right with most of their leaks.

Ocelot R88

The Podium Car for this week will be the R88, an open-wheel supercar by Ocelot (fictional car manufacturer in GTA).

The description for the R88 reads:

"We could just keep saying 'ultra' and 'turbo' over and over but even these hardcore buzzwords can't do the Ocelot R88 justice. Instead, simply look at it. Look. Look again. Did you look? Then what are you waiting for?" -Legendary Motorsport
