The newly released GTA Online weekly update has brought the Vapid Winky back in the limelight as the newest Podium Vehicle.

In terms of performance, the Vapid Winky can achieve a top speed of 115.87 km/h (72.00 mph). It also takes about 1:32.158 to complete a lap on average. While its performance doesn’t make it worth owning, it’s still a great vehicle for collectors, as not many vehicles are quite like the Winky.

Furthermore, it is an off-roader with an AWD drivetrain, so one can easily travel through rough terrain with it. The GTA Online Podium Vehicle can also be purchased directly from the Warstock Cache & Carry website for $1,100,000- $825,000.
