Since its debut in 2023 as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC update, the GTA 5 Online Karin Hotring Everon is considered quite reliable for day-to-day usage. Powered by a single-cam V8 engine with a 6-speed gearbox, the sports vehicle possesses a top speed of 100.32 mph (161.45 km/h) as per the in-game files.

However, the Hotring Everon is much faster than that and can go up to a maximum speed of 125.75 mph (202.37 km/h). It can also complete one lap in 1:06.487 owing to its strong acceleration. While it may not appear that fast, the vehicle beats the following rides in terms of top speed:

Albany V-STR
Vysser Neo
Ocelot Jugular
Bravado Hotring Hellfire
Dewbauchee Seven-70
Benefactor SM722

Furthermore, the Hotring Everon can take corners with little to no body sway. However, players should avoid hitting obstacles on the road as it can slow the vehicle down. Apart from this minor flaw, it is considered an easy-to-drive car. Players can use it to complete the GTA Online FIB Files and earn double bonuses till May 21, 2025.
