5 reasons to own the Maibatsu Penumbra FF in GTA Online

1) It's a Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi is an extremely popular Japanese car manufacturer, and the Maibatsu Penumbra FF is inspired by the real-life second-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse while using the second-generation Eagle Talon for other parts of the vehicle. The game has several other Mitsubishi-inspired cars, and the Maibatsu Penumbra FF will be a great addition to the garage.

Rockstar Games also took the liberty to add parts from the Nissan Skyline, allowing the Penumbra FF to flourish and look better. This is especially evident from the car's exhaust note, which sounds quite similar to the Fast and Furious car.

While a price tag of $1,380,000 might not sound cheap to some, it is still quite inexpensive for the Sports class in GTA Online. When similar vehicles cost around $2 million, the Penumbra FF offers decent performance along with amazing handling for this price tag.

Combined with the ongoing GTA Online weekly update, players can easily make this amount quickly and purchase this car. Thanks to its power outfit and overall performance, the Maibatsu Penumbra FF is a good choice to pick in 2024 for both new and veteran players.
