Available across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, this week’s update leans hard into car culture, specifically, the art of going fast while technically facing the wrong direction.
And leading the charge? The brand-new Shitzu Keitora.

Meet The Shitzu Keitora – Small Frame, Big Slide
The headline addition this week is the Shitzu Keitora, a compact Utility vehicle now available to purchase and ready for Drift Tuning modifications.
Don’t let the size fool you. The Keitora is built to punch above its weight class, delivering sharp handling and strong acceleration, especially once upgraded for competitive drifting. It joins a growing list of vehicles now eligible for Drift Tuning, alongside favourites like the Übermacht Sentinel XS, Vapid Dominator GT and Dinka RT 3000.
Better yet, Drift Tuning upgrades are 30% off this week, making it the perfect time to turn your garage into a sideways showcase.
Triple Rewards For Drift Royalty
If you’ve been waiting for the right week to master the art of controlled chaos, this is it.
All Drift Races are paying out 3X GTA$ and RP, with additional boosts for GTA+ members. Completing a Drift Race in the Annis Euros unlocks the Manga Classic livery, while tackling three Drift Races ticks off the Weekly Challenge, awarding the Bright Manor Racing Suit and GTA$100,000.
The Community Race Series also joins the triple reward party, spotlighting creative tracks inspired by Japanese automotive culture.
This week, it quite literally pays to drift.
Two Free Cars Just For Showing Up
Sometimes Los Santos is generous. Simply logging in this week unlocks two free vehicles – the Dinka Blista Kanjo and the Declasse Drift Walton L35.
And yes, you’re reading that right, there are no objectives, and no grind. Just play and claim.
Add in the fact that the LS Car Meet is offering free membership and a huge 5X boost to Car Meet Reputation, and the underground scene has never looked more welcoming.
Auto Shop And Business Boosts
Away from the tyre smoke, there’s serious money to be made.
Completing any Robbery Contract from the Auto Shop Job Board triggers a GTA$300,000 bonus, while Exotic Exports are paying out a hefty 4X GTA$.
On the illicit side of operations, Weed Sell Missions are dishing out Double GTA$, and Weed Farm Businesses plus upgrades are discounted by 40%. If your empire needs expansion, this is the week to invest.
Sumo (Remix) also joins the bonus rotation with Double Rewards, offering chaotic arena action for those who prefer pushing opponents off platforms instead of sliding around them.
Final Call For Lunar New Year Rewards
This is your last chance to collect Lunar New Year bonuses before they disappear.
Triple payouts remain active on Lunar New Year Stunt Races, while the Red Year of the Horse Tee, Horse Masks, Horse Tattoos and Yuanbao Collectibles are still up for grabs. Track down all 36 collectibles for an additional bonus and ensure your 2026 starts in style.
Discounts And GTA+ Perks
This week’s sales include 30% off a range of vehicles including the Dinka Jester RR, Fathom FR36, Declasse Drift Yosemite and more. The Gun Van is also offering 50% off the Precision Rifle and 30% off the Stun Gun for GTA+ members.
Speaking of GTA+, subscribers can claim a free Dewbauchee Champion, exclusive paint finishes, bonus cash and 2X rewards across multiple modes – stacking nicely with this week’s drift-centric bonuses.
A Week For The Car Culture Crowd
GTA Online thrives on variety, but this week belongs to the car scene. From free rides to tuning discounts, boosted rep to triple drift payouts, Los Santos feels like one giant, smoke-filled proving ground.
If you’ve ever fancied earning your stripes as a Drift God – or simply grabbing a couple of free cars while the going’s good – now’s the time to log in.
Just remember: it’s not about how fast you cross the line. It’s about how sideways you do it.
