The Pegassi Tempesta arrived with the Import/Export update on December 13, 2016, priced at $1,329,000 at Legendary Motorsport. Its design draws heavily from the Lamborghini Huracan, and it's confirmed to return in Grand Theft Auto VI, where it appears in Trailer 2 being pulled from the back of a moving truck.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Tempesta at 195.53 km/h (121.5 mph), with a 1:00.243 lap time, one of the faster tested laps in the Super class. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 84.24 speed, 90.00 acceleration, 33.33 braking, and 80.30 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale. That 90.00 acceleration figure is genuinely strong, and paired with AWD, the Tempesta gets off the line and through corners with real confidence, though the braking rating trails well behind.
How to Get One
Buy it outright from Legendary Motorsport for $1,329,000, no reputation grinding or mission chain required. 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, where completing the job gives the option to buy it directly.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $307,950 across every category at Los Santos Customs, on the lower end for a Super-class vehicle at this price point. Turbo tuning is the single largest line item at $50,000, followed by the Race Transmission at $40,000. Compared to some Super-class rivals, the customization list is relatively compact, without the extensive livery or interior options found on Benny's-eligible vehicles.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against the Pegassi Reaper (also Pegassi-branded, priced similarly in the Super class), the Tempesta trades some top-end style for stronger AWD grip and a faster tested lap. Against the Progen T20 (a higher-tier Super car, priced significantly above $1,329,000), the Tempesta is the more affordable entry point into the class, even if it can't match the T20's top speed.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $1,329,000 for a 71.97 overall rating, it's a reasonable mid-tier Super-class pick, particularly for players who value acceleration and lap time over outright top speed. The weak braking is worth planning around, but the AWD grip and genuinely fast lap time make it a solid choice for anyone not chasing the absolute fastest cars in the class.
Quick Tips
- Lean into its strong acceleration and AWD grip rather than expecting the highest top speed in the class Budget separately for the $307,950 full upgrade cost, it's on the lower end for Super-class vehicles Watch for it appearing as an Auto Shop Service customer vehicle, completing the job lets you buy it directly Don't expect strong braking even fully upgraded, its 33.33 rating trails its other stats Keep an eye out for its confirmed return in GTA VI if your site tracks upcoming content.

Special Features
Pros & Cons
- Strong acceleration (90.00 on Rockstar's own scale, among the highest in its class)
- AWD grip that pairs well with its handling rating (80.30 on Rockstar's own scale)
- One of the fastest tested lap times in the Super class at 1:00.243
- Usable in standard races
- Weak braking relative to its acceleration (33.33 on Rockstar's own scale)
- Not bulletproof by default, a single homing missile, RPG, or sticky bomb destroys it even at 100% armor
- $1,329,000 price against a 71.97 overall rating puts it mid-pack for the Super class
- Full upgrade cost of $307,950 adds meaningfully to an already high purchase price
Verdict
Trivia
- Full upgrade cost at Los Santos Customs is $307,950 across all categories. Lap time fully upgraded: 1:00.243 (Broughy1322 test). Added to GTA Online on December 13, 2016, as part of the Import/Export update.
