The Karin Futo makes an eagerly-anticipated return in Grand Theft Auto VI, bringing with it all the charm of a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe that’s been a staple of the series.
Rooted in the spirit of the real-world Toyota AE86 Levin, the Futo is built for driving fun: around 900 kg in weight with a compact 2-seat layout, rear-wheel drive and a five-speed transmission.
In GTA VI the Futo caters to drift lovers and tuners who care more about feel and finesse than outright top speed.
Its lightweight chassis and nimble responsiveness allow skilled players to exploit corners, slides and tight street racing scenario.
While it may not compete with the fastest hypercars in a straight-line sprint, its value lies in its accessibility—offering strong handling at a lower likely cost and making it a top choice for street racing and drifting.
As a returning model from previous GTA titles, the Futo also carries nostalgic weight, appealing to longtime fans who recognise its heritage.
Customisation potential remains high, making it not just a functional ride but a style statement. With its combination of tuner-car aesthetics, drifting potential and playful driving dynamics, the Futo stands out as a versatile, fun-to-drive option in the world of GTA VI.
