The Ubermacht Sentinel Classic arrived with The Doomsday Heist update on December 19, 2017, priced at $650,000 at Southern S.A. Super Autos or Benny's Original Motor Works. Its design draws from the BMW E30 M3, leaning into a lightweight, no-frills rally-car identity that the Sentinel nameplate has carried since GTA III.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Sentinel Classic at 188.70 km/h (117.25 mph), with a 1:04.732 lap time. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 75.12 speed, 66.25 acceleration, 26.67 braking, and 68.18 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale, adding up to a 59.05 overall rating. That acceleration figure is the weakest of its four main stats, so the car takes longer to build speed than its lightweight 1,100 kg frame might suggest, though it holds a line reasonably well once moving.
How to Get One
Buy it outright from Southern S.A. Super Autos or Benny's Original Motor Works for $650,000, or unlock the $487,500 trade price. It can also show up as a target vehicle for the Exotic Exports side mission through an owned Auto Shop. No reputation grinding or mission chain is required for the standard purchase.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $387,530 across every category at Los Santos Customs, more extensive than most Sports-class vehicles thanks to a deep roster of hood, spoiler, and bumper variants unique to this car. Turbo tuning is the single largest line item at $50,000. Its real customization draw, though, is the option to convert it into the Sentinel Classic Widebody at Benny's Original Motor Works for an additional $700,000, which is also eligible for the LS Car Meet's Drift Tuning modification.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against its own widebody conversion, the Sentinel Classic Widebody ($700,000 additional cost, 204.79 km/h fully upgraded), the standard Sentinel Classic is far cheaper but noticeably slower, roughly 16 km/h behind fully upgraded. Against the Karin Sultan (also a budget-friendly Sports car with a conversion path, $12,000, 187.09 km/h fully upgraded), the Sentinel Classic costs significantly more upfront but comes with more standard features, including liveries and a Missile Lock-On Jammer option.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $650,000 for a 59.05 overall rating, it's not a strong pick as a standalone purchase against current Sports-class options. Its real value is as the required base vehicle for the Sentinel Classic Widebody conversion, similar to how the Karin Sultan feeds into the Sultan RS, so the buying decision should hinge on whether the widebody conversion is the actual goal.
Quick Tips
- Buy it if you're planning the Sentinel Classic Widebody conversion, that's where its real value lies Don't expect strong acceleration even fully upgraded, its 66.25 rating is the weakest of its main stats Consider unlocking the $487,500 trade price if available before paying full price Budget the separate $700,000 conversion cost at Benny's if you want the Widebody variant Watch for it as an Exotic Exports target vehicle for a straightforward cash reward.
