Enus Paragon R

The Enus Paragon R (Armored) is not sold anywhere in GTA Online. Rockstar gives it as a free reward after the player hosts and completes all six Diamond Casino Story missions, collected afterward at the Port of Los Santos. It carries the same Bentley Continental GT-inspired body as the standard Paragon R, with bulletproof panels on all sides and dual forward-facing .50 cal machine guns bolted on.

How It Drives

Broughy1322's tested top speed for this vehicle, fully upgraded, is 197.14 km/h (122.5 mph), with a lap time of 1:01.426. Rockstar's own in-game display bars for the car read 85.85 speed, 81.88 acceleration, 31.67 braking, and 81.06 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale. That braking number is the one to watch, under 32 out of 100 is low for the class, so drivers used to the base Paragon R's stopping distance will find this one takes noticeably longer to shed speed under the extra armor weight.

How to Get One

There is exactly one path: host the Diamond Casino Story missions and finish all six as the lead player, not a participant. On completion, the car is delivered as a reward and can be collected from the Port of Los Santos. It cannot be bought at Legendary Motorsport, Warstock, or anywhere else. If it's ever sold at Los Santos Customs, the payout is capped at 10% of the value of the upgrades installed on it, not the vehicle's own value, since it was never purchased in the first place.

Customization Highlights

The armor plating, bulletproof glass, and mounted guns are fixed parts of the vehicle and aren't Benny's-style add-ons. What's left to customize runs through the standard Los Santos Customs categories: livery, paint, wheels, spoilers, and so on, with a full build running $334,789 across every category if maxed out. Turbo tuning alone accounts for $50,000 of that, the single largest line item outside armor.

Comparison to Other Variants

Set against the Enus Paragon S (also Bentley-styled, priced at $2,010,000), the S is faster at 205.19 km/h fully upgraded and considerably tougher, needing 12 homing missiles to destroy versus 2 for the Armored Paragon R. The tradeoff is cost and access: the S is a straight cash purchase available to anyone with the money, while the Armored R is locked behind a specific mission chain and can't be bought at any price. Against the standard, unarmored Paragon R (identical styling, no guns, no armor, sold for $905,000), the armored version trades race eligibility for combat durability, since the base car can enter standard races and this one cannot.

Is It Worth Buying?

Since it costs nothing but mission time, yes. The real cost isn't cash, it's finishing all six Casino Story missions as host, which some players never do if they play mostly with friends who host instead. Anyone who already needs to run those missions gets a genuinely durable armed vehicle at the end for free; anyone chasing a Sports-class race car should look at the purchasable Paragon R or Paragon S instead, since this one is locked out of standard races entirely.

Quick Tips

• Host the Diamond Casino Story missions yourself, being a participant doesn't unlock the reward
• Collect the car from the Port of Los Santos after the sixth mission completes
• Don't expect to buy this one at Legendary Motorsport, that listing is the unarmored Paragon R
• Keep it out of standard races, it's blocked from entry
• If you ever sell it, expect only 10% of your upgrade spend back, not the vehicle's value
