Styled after the BMW M2, this Los Santos Tuners drift car ships lowered with low-grip tires, though its stats trail faster rivals in the same lineup.

The Ubermacht Cypher arrived with the Los Santos Tuners update on September 2, 2021, priced at $1,550,000 at Legendary Motorsport, or $1,162,500 at trade price once unlocked through LS Car Meet Reputation Levels. Its design draws from the BMW M2, with additional styling cues from the BMW M6 and M8.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Cypher at 182.66 km/h (113.5 mph), with a 1:04.231 lap time. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 79.33 speed, 81.50 acceleration, 23.33 braking, and 78.48 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale, adding up to a 65.66 overall rating. That braking figure is notably weak relative to its acceleration, so the Cypher builds speed confidently but needs more room to slow down than its handling number alone would suggest.
How to Get One
Buy it outright from Legendary Motorsport for $1,550,000, or unlock the $1,162,500 trade price by leveling up LS Car Meet Reputation, which requires an LS Car Meet Membership and unlocks a new vehicle's trade price every 5 Reputation Levels. There's no mission reward or random event path, it's a direct purchase once the membership and reputation grind are in place.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $633,438 across every category at Los Santos Customs and the LS Car Meet Mod Shop, among the higher totals in the Tuners lineup thanks to an unusually deep customization list. Interior options alone include multiple steering wheel styles, dash finishes, and door panel types not available on most Sports-class vehicles. Turbo tuning is the single largest individual line item at $50,000.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against the Ocelot Jugular (also released around the same era, $1,225,000, 201.17 km/h fully upgraded), the Jugular is both cheaper and considerably faster, and also seats 4 versus the Cypher's 2. Against the Emperor Vectre (another Los Santos Tuners launch car, $1,785,000, 186.68 km/h fully upgraded), the Cypher is cheaper and slightly slower, with the two sharing a similar mid-pack position within the Tuners lineup.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $1,550,000 for a 65.66 overall rating, it's a middling pick against faster, cheaper Sports-class alternatives available at a similar price point. Its real strength is customization depth and BMW-inspired styling rather than competitive lap times, so it's better suited to players building a specific look than those chasing leaderboard numbers.
Quick Tips
- Unlock the trade price through LS Car Meet Reputation before buying if you can wait, it saves nearly $400,000.
- Compare directly against the Ocelot Jugular before buying, it's both cheaper and faster.
- Budget separately for the $633,438 full upgrade cost, it's among the higher totals for a Tuners vehicle.
- Use Low Grip Tires and Lowered Stance at the LS Car Meet specifically for drift runs, not races.
- Don't expect strong braking even fully upgraded, its 23.33 rating trails its other stats.
