Players of "Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online" will have more sports cars to steal, drive and crash and burn, as the latest update for the online portion of "GTA V" includes the Pfister Comet SR.

For those unfamiliar with it, the Pfister Comet is actually the developer's version of real-life Porsche sports cars since acquiring a license for said cars to appear in-game would be quite expensive, hence the imitation. As such, the Pfister Comet SR definitely has the semblance of a Porsche 911 Turbo car or other similar models. Players will now be able to acquire the said Porsche imitation in-game to play out their Porsche fantasies.

Those who have been keeping track of the updates for "GTA Online" over the past months might get disappointed with the Pfister Comet SR since it does not have any machine guns or weapons on it. It simply is a luxury sports car in "GTA Online," though it looking like a Porsche could be the selling point as well as showing off in-game.

That said, the in-game price of the Pfister Comet SR is quite similar to its real-life counter part too at $1,145,000 or in-game money. Though players will not be disappointed spending that much for the Pfister Comet SR as the digital sports car boasts top-tier speed paired by its maxed-out traction stats. Like a true European exotic car though, the Pfister's pre-tuning acceleration sits slightly below the highest mark and its brake power is well below average, making the latter the only disadvantage of the car compared with others.

Those unfortunate enough to be poor in-game, however, need not worry too much if they want the Pfister, since there is a multitude of activities that they can do in order to earn in-game dollars. Better yet, there are four modes and activities in "GTA Online" that pay out double through March 6, these are Gunrunning Sell Missions, Special Vehicle Missions, Air Quota and Rockstar-Created Transform Races.
