Ocelot Jugular
Four seats and AWD grip are unusual for a car with a perfect handling score, but the Jaguar XE SV Project 8-inspired Jugular manages both at once.

The Ocelot Jugular arrived with The Diamond Casino & Resort update on October 10, 2019, priced at $1,225,000 at Legendary Motorsport. Its design draws from the Jaguar XE SV Project 8, and its Rockstar-assigned handling score sits at the maximum possible 100.00 on the game's own 0 to 100 scale, a rare achievement shared by only a handful of vehicles.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Jugular at 201.17 km/h (125 mph), with a 1:01.371 lap time. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 84.51 speed, 94.50 acceleration, 36.67 braking, and a perfect 100.00 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale. That combination of near-maxed acceleration and perfect handling makes it genuinely confident through corners, and the AWD layout helps put that power down cleanly, even though braking trails the rest of its numbers.
How to Get One
Buy it outright from Legendary Motorsport for $1,225,000, or unlock the $918,750 trade price by completing The Diamond Casino Heist Finale as leader with the Jugular selected as the reward vehicle beforehand. It can also show up as a target vehicle for the Exotic Exports side mission through an owned Auto Shop, or as a customer's car during Auto Shop Service.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $368,400 across every category at Los Santos Customs. Turbo tuning and the Super Transmission are tied as the largest line items at $50,000 each. Livery options lean into a mix of styles, from Sport Stripes to branded designs like Redwood Cigarettes and Jakey's Lager, with ten total choices available.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against the Ubermacht Cypher (a similarly styled sports saloon, $1,550,000, 182.66 km/h fully upgraded), the Jugular is both cheaper and faster, with a much higher tested top speed. Against the Dinka Sugoi (also holding a perfect 100.00 handling score, $1,224,000, 189.90 km/h fully upgraded), the Jugular is nearly identically priced but faster, and adds AWD along with two extra seats.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $1,225,000 for a perfect handling score, strong acceleration, and a genuinely fast tested top speed, it's one of the stronger all-around picks in the Sports class. The weak braking rating is worth planning around, but the 4-seat layout and AWD grip give it practical advantages most 2-seat rivals in this price range don't offer.
Quick Tips
- Complete The Diamond Casino Heist Finale as leader with the Jugular selected beforehand to unlock the $918,750 trade price Lean into corners rather than late-braking, the perfect handling score rewards smooth driving more than hard stops Take advantage of the 4-seat layout for freemode passengers, most Sports-class cars only seat 2 Budget separately for the $368,400 full upgrade cost Don't expect strong braking even fully upgraded, its 36.67 rating trails its otherwise strong stats.
