Rockstar Games recently announced that GTA Online players could get the Emperor Vectre for free in the latest weekly update for the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC. However, this car is only available at $0 for GTA+ members, and non-subscribers cannot acquire it for free.

It might seem strange to call a deal like this "free" when one has to pay for GTA+, but that's the terminology that Rockstar Games uses in its official Newswire article. This offer also includes the previously unreleased Mambas 24 and Sword Boy liveries.

The current GTA+ offer lasts from February 16 to March 15, 2023. You will have to purchase the subscription first, so the "free" aspect solely comes from the fact that you don't spend any GTA Online cash to obtain the vehicle.

Mambas 24 is the new livery shown in the above promotional image. It is vital to mention that the free car isn't delivered to the player's account automatically. To get it, perform the following steps:

Access the in-game Internet.
Go to 'Travel and Transport.'
Select 'Legendary Motorspot.'
Look for the Emperor Vectre.

It normally costs $1,785,000 (or $1,338,75 at Trade Price). GTA+ members don't pay any in-game cash.

GTA Online members who pay for GTA+ can get two new previously unavailable liveries. The first is the Mambas 24, while the other is the Sword Boy livery.

Rockstar Games hasn't announced if these liveries will be available to everybody in GTA Online. Until then, one can assume that it is exclusive to GTA+ for one month. Players can also use a different livery if they don't like the Mambas 24 or Sword Boy.

Here are some important stats you should know about the car, as provided by Broughy1322:
