Are the GTA+ bonuses worth it? (July 20-August 16, 2023)

Anybody indecisive about this new month's benefits for GTA+ should know that the rewards are pretty good. This month's essential bonuses include the free Penaud La Coureuse and a 50% discount on all HSW vehicles. Note that the Penaud La Coureuse is an HSW vehicle, which profits from that discount. Some HSW conversions on other vehicles could cost over a million dollars, so there is plenty of money to be saved here.

There are some other GTA+ benefits worth discussing further in more detail. It is worth mentioning that not every player will consider this month's bonuses to be of good value for them. Likewise, some people would pay for membership no matter what. This article is merely for the efficient players who are still undecided.

Note: Some aspects of this article are subjective.

GTA+ bonuses for July 20 to August 16, 2023, are pretty good

The main draw of this month's benefits is the free inclusion of the Penaud La Coureuse. This car, when equipped with its HSW upgrade, is the best vehicle for many Sports car races due to its superior lap time, based on Broughy1322's data. For instance, the HSW Penaud La Coureuse has a record of 0:56.139, whereas the second-place HSW Itali GTO Stinger TT has a time of 0:59.292.

A few seconds' difference is a huge deal in races. It's not as if the Penaud La Coureuse is only suitable for those activities. This car has Imani Tech, which could equip either a Remote Control Unit or a Missile Lock-On Jammer, giving the automobile extra utility in Freemode.

Remember, this vehicle benefit came out on the GTA Online weekly update that debuted this car.
