Pfister Comet Retro Custom
A Benny's widebody conversion of the base Pfister Comet, built around a Rauh-Welt Porsche 930 look with strong handling that trades off some of the base car's speed.

The Pfister Comet Retro Custom arrived with the Import/Export update on December 23, 2016. Unlike most vehicles, it isn't a direct dealership purchase, players first buy the standard Pfister Comet for $100,000, then convert it into the Retro Custom variant at Benny's Original Motor Works for an additional $645,000, bringing the total cost to $745,000.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Comet Retro Custom at 195.53 km/h (121.5 mph), with a 1:04.615 lap time, slightly slower than the base Comet it's converted from. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 81.56 speed, 85.00 acceleration, 26.67 braking, and 90.05 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale. That strong handling number is the car's standout trait, and it holds up well through corners even though its braking trails behind.
How to Get One
Buy the standard Pfister Comet from Legendary Motorsport or Benny's Original Motor Works for $100,000 first, then take it to Benny's Original Motor Works and pay $645,000 to convert it into the Retro Custom. There's no way to skip the base Comet purchase, the conversion only applies to a vehicle you already own.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $553,544 across every category, nearly matching the $745,000 purchase and conversion cost combined. Benny's-exclusive options set this apart from a standard Los Santos Customs build, including interior trim colors, dial designs, door panels, and column shifter levers not available anywhere else. Ten distinct livery designs are available, from Globe Oil to Retro Racer.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against the standard Pfister Comet it's built from ($100,000, 192.72 km/h fully upgraded), the Retro Custom costs $645,000 more for a widebody look and stronger handling, but comes out slightly slower. Against the Comet SR (a separate, faster Pfister variant, $1,145,000, 196.34 km/h fully upgraded), the Retro Custom is cheaper overall and has noticeably better handling, though the SR wins on raw top speed.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $745,000 total for a 90.05 handling rating, it's a reasonable mid-tier pick for players who want a distinctive look over outright speed. The extra $645,000 conversion cost on top of the base Comet is a real commitment, so it's best suited to players who specifically want the widebody Rauh-Welt aesthetic rather than those chasing top-speed numbers.
Quick Tips
- Buy the base Pfister Comet first, the conversion can't happen without owning one already Budget the full $745,000 (base car plus conversion) before starting, not just the $645,000 Benny's price Lean into its strong handling rather than expecting a braking advantage, that stat trails the rest Explore the Benny's-exclusive interior options, they aren't available through a standard Los Santos Customs build Watch for it appearing in future GTA VI content, it's confirmed to return with revised styling.
