'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds The New Weeny Issi Rally, Taxi Job Bonuses, Double Rewards in Motor Wars And More

by Rainier on Jan. 26, 2023 @ 10:12 a.m. PST

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

The Weeny Issi Rally hits the floor at Luxury Autos this week, as part of a limited time showroom run for the HSW-upgradeable vehicle.

The New Weeny Issi Rally, Available For a Limited Time

When you hear Weeny made a sports SUV, what do you picture? Is it school runs, work commutes, and a trunk packed up for a hiking trip? Or is it racetracks, barrel rolls, and the crowd losing its mind as the fuel tank ignites? If you answered the latter, congratulations — you’re ready for the responsibility of owning this powerful ode to British engineering.

Pick up the Weeny Issi Rally at the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website on your iFruit or at the Luxury Autos showroom across from Record A Studios. This undersized but thoroughly capable SUV is also HSW-upgradeable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to unleash its full potential.

Both the Weeny Issi Rally and its HSW Upgrade will be available through February 1.
