Ardent in GTA 5

Overview

The Ardent is Ocelot's weaponized entry in the Sports Classics class, sold through Warstock Cache & Carry for $1,150,000. It carries mounted weapons that classify it as a weaponized vehicle, unusual for a car styled like a classic muscle coupe. It reaches 118.75 mph and laps in 1:04.265, earning tier A within the Sports Classics class, among the quickest cars in that smaller field. Rear wheel drive and a 1200 kg mass help it combine that pace with its role as a combat vehicle. It arrived with the Gunrunning update in August 2017. It seats 2, and being sold through Warstock rather than the usual car dealers reflects its weaponized status.
