New GTA Online Podium Vehicle: HVY Insurgent (July 11 to 17, 2024)
Rockstar released the new GTA Online weekly update moments ago, giving an amazing opportunity to get an HVY Insurgent for free as the GTA Online podium vehicle this week. The off-road military LAPV debuted in 2015 as part of the popular Heists Update. It has taken direct inspiration from the real-life NIMR LLC and Terradyne Armored Vehicles.
When it comes to performance, the HVY Insurgent is quite decent. According to Broughy1322, the armored vehicle can reach a top speed of 98.25 mph (158.12 km/h) and complete a lap in an average of 1:14.141. It also possesses a decent cornering radius for a vehicle as heavy as it is, allowing you to take corners without any major issues.
The best part about this week’s GTA Online podium vehicle is its tough armor. After a full Armor Upgrade, it can survive 26 direct hits from Homing Missiles before exploding on the 27th hit.
Prize Ride of the Week: Albany V-STR (July 11 to 17, 2024)
The Albany V-STR is categorized as a sports car in the game. Debuted in 2020 as part of The Diamond Casino Heist update, the car took inspiration from the real-life 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V.
Unlike the Invetero Coquette D10, the V-STR runs on a V8 engine with an eight-speed gearbox. It possesses the power to reach a top speed of 126.25 mph (203.18 km/h) and complete one lap in 1:04.165. Despite looking a bit heavy, you can enjoy remarkable handling with this luxury sports car, even while taking hard corners. It can also be considered a viable option for some races in Los Santos.
The next GTA Online podium vehicle and Prize Ride cars will be available on July 18, 2024.
