GTA Online has been on a roll since the release of The Criminal Enterprises update last July, which went on to add new content to the game.

Players are getting new rides every week, with a total of nine brand-new vehicles added to the mix so far. However, players love to collect Sports Classic cars as they offer solid performances as well as classic looks.
