Everything to know about the Weeny Issi Classic in GTA Online – Appearance, performance, & more

GTA Online’s Weeny Issi Classic is inspired by none other than the original BMC Mini, with some elements taken from the Trabant and Mini MK II (1967-1970).

Its visual appearance consists of the following parts, giving it a compact design:

Front body:

Small extender with black details
Chrome bumper
European—style license plate
Rectangular grilles with horizontal separations
A set of rectangular-shaped amber signals
Two circular headlamps
Small bonnet with the manufacturer's emblem

Side body:

Black details on the side
Small circular-shaped mirrors
Classic lever handles on the doors
Chrome trimming in the greenhouse area
Fuel cap on the rea-left side of the car

Rear body:

Small boot compartment
California-style license plate
Manufacturer emblem
Circular-shaped tail lights
Chrome rear bumper with black details
A single exhaust tube on the drive-side

The Issi Classic is powered by a high-revving single-cam, Inline-4 engine with a functioning timing belt. It runs on a four-speed gearbox in an FWD layout, and has one of the best accelerations in the Compact class. The car's short size makes it very nimble and agile while racing. Players can also quickly gain speed thanks to the vehicle’s light weight.

The vehicle can be purchased from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos in-game website for $270,000 - $360,000.
