Ruston in GTA 5

Overview

The Ruston is Hijak's retro styled Sports coupe. It used to sell through Legendary Motorsport for $430,000. Rockstar has since pulled it from sale, so you cannot buy a new one today. It reaches 116.5 mph and laps in 1:07.784, which lands it in tier K, well off the pace of the Sports class. Rear wheel drive and a light 800 kg mass gave it a lively, old fashioned feel while it was still on sale to new buyers, quicker to change direction than most of the heavier cars near it. It arrived with the Cunning Stunts: SV Circuit update in 2017. It seats 2, and today the only way to own one is if you already bought it before it left the shops.
