gta onlines free business update content drop professionals online vestra

Rockstar Games is set to expand its GTA Online sandbox on March 4 with the release of the free Business Update DLC pack via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The add-on introduces some new toys for your virtual sociopaths to play with, including new vehicles and weapons. Note that all of the below items are added to your character profile in story mode for free, but you’ve got to buy them from their respective stores in GTA Online.

For those that like speeding out on the open road, the Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester, and Grotti Turismo R form a trio of shiny, new sports cars for you to buy. The more affluent residents of Los Santos can pony up instead to buy the Vestra airplane (pictured above). Of course, this being Grand Theft Auto, you’ll need some firearms to go with your drivables. Ammu-Nation will add the Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine to its shelves once the update goes live.

There’s more, too. GTA Online emphasis on player customization expands even further with the Business Update, thanks to an assortment of new suit jackets, slacks, glasses, heels, and blouses, as well as new “business hairstyles” (huh?) and “currency-themed tattoos.” You’ll also be able to pick up some new masks, which should be fun to play with if the game’s long-promised co-op heists mode ever arrives.

Speaking of future content, Rockstar’s Newswire post promises that more details are coming soon on a variety of topics, including the Capture Creator update, new Assassination and Flight School missions for story mode, and – yes – Online Heists.

How to sell cars in GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto 5 Screenshot_361

There are a lot of ways to make money in the world of Grand Theft Auto V, but none are more apt that stealing and selling cars. Not only is it a pastime befitting its namesake, it's also a fun way to earn a few bucks while roaming the streets of Los Santos. There's just one way to sell cars in GTA 5, but thankfully, offloading your stolen goods is a very straightforward process.
Steal a car
Before you can even think about selling a vehicle, you're going to have to get your hands on one. Common cars will sell for at least $1,000 each, but it's worth your time to seek out expensive luxury and sports cars. Here's a good rule of thumb to follow -- the nicer the car looks, the more valuable it usually is. We've had good luck finding expensive vehicles on the streets around Rockford Hills, but head to any upscale shopping area and you're bound to see a few.

Once you've found your vehicle of interest, simply hijack or hot-wire it and evade the police. Try to do as little damage to it as possible, since cars in better condition fetch a higher price. Most of the time, you can simply speed down the road and find a quiet hiding spot in an alley to shake the low-effort manhunt. As soon as the coast is clear and you have no stars, you're ready to offload your new ride.

The fastest cars in GTA 5

Half the fun of Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online is cruising around Los Santos in lightning-fast supercars. There's no shortage of incredible vehicles available to players, but trying to figure out which is the fastest isn't as straightforward as you'd think. Some might dominate in a drag race, yet end up in a ditch if you put them on a winding track. Others might excel around hairpin turns, but lack in overall horsepower. The following list is based strictly on each car's top speed, as trying to rate other traits -- such as handling and cornering abilities -- is highly subjective and up to personal preference. While we eagerly await a new fleet of cars to steal and race in Grand Theft Auto 6, here are the 10 fastest cars in Grand Theft Auto V.
