Some might not know but the Fathom FR36 is one of the few GTA Online vehicles expected to return in Grand Theft Auto 6. While the vehicle's design elements in the upcoming title are currently unknown, the current iteration is seemingly based on the real-life third-generation Infiniti G35 (V35) coupé. The following automobiles have also inspired the design of the FR36:
- Fourth-generation Infiniti G Line (V36) – Side skirts, front bumper, and tail lights
- 2006–2008 Nissan 350Z (Z33) – Headlight set-up
The 2000s vibe of the sports car is one good reason to own the FR36. Moreover, Rockstar has also added a livery called Atomic Racing, which makes it look like a Team Falken G35 Drift car.
In terms of performance, the Fathom FR36 runs on an undisclosed engine with a five-speed gearbox in an RWD layout. The in-game files suggest that it possesses a lackluster top speed of 95.07 mph (153.00 km/h). However, the actual performance of the ride is much higher than that.
According to testing done by popular analyst Broughy1322, the FR36 can go up to a maximum speed of 121.50 mph (195.53 km/h), making it the fastest coupe in GTA Online. To provide a better overview of its high performance, here are the top 10 coupes in the game based on top speed:
- Fathom FR36 – 121.5 mph
- Enus Windsor – 118.5 mph
- Enus Windsor Drop – 118.25 mph
- Ocelot F620 – 118.25 mph
- Ubermacht Zion Cabrio – 118 mph
- Ubermacht Zion – 118 mph
- Dewbauchee Exemplar – 117.5 mph
- Ubermacht Sentinel XS – 116 mph
- Ubermacht Oracle – 115.5 mph
- Karin Previon – 115.25 mph
Moreover, the FR36 also possesses decent acceleration, allowing it to complete one lap in about 1:04.214. This allows players to drive through the traffic of Los Santos with ease.
Here are some performance stats one should know about:
- Speed: 82.09/100
- Acceleration: 75.25/100
- Braking: 28.67/100
