First seen in the original Grand Theft Auto game in 1997, the automobile returns in almost all major titles in the series, except Grand Theft Auto 4 and San Andreas. The current design in Los Santos is inspired by the real-life Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder.
On the performance front, the Grotti Stinger can complete a lap in just 1:13.239 by reaching a top speed of 112.00 mph (180.25 km/h) in a few seconds. It being one of the originals of the series is enough for a reason to collect it in GTA Online this week.
