The Dewbauchee Rapid GT Classic is a classic grand tourer featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update, released on September 12th, 2017, during the Rapid GT Classic Week event.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Rapid GT Classic is primarily based on the 1972–1989 series Aston Martin V8, as seen in its overall design, fog lights, and stock side mirrors, with some minor influences from the 1969–1972 series Aston Martin DBS V8 mainly in the front fascia. The side skirts, side vents, tail lamps, and grille are reminiscent of the ones found on the Jensen Interceptor III. The side vent, although clearly taking inspiration from the Interceptor, is divided similarly to the vent found on the Iso Fidia. The single headlight setup, rim design, and the majority of the rear fascia, including the lip at the end of the boot, seem to be borrowed from the 1967–1968 Ford Mustang Fastback.
Certain stripe livery options resemble stripes found on GT350 and GT500 Shelby variants of the '67–'68 Ford Mustang.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Depicted as the older generation of the Rapid GT, the vehicle assumes the same two-door, front-engine layout, but its design is more squared. Its front end features a chrome split grille, a bumper with two vertical defenses and four rectangular foglamps that are functional when the high beams are active. The outer edges are occupied by the two circular headlamps and the two split rectangle turn signals, both featuring chrome details around them. The bonnet has a simplistic design and the manufacturer emblem can be seen in front of it.
The sides are distinguishable by the flared arches, the twin vents on the front fenders and the chrome strip at the bottom, with the door handles, rear-view mirrors and side marker lights also finished in chrome. The greenhouse area also features chrome trim around the windows.
The rear of the car features a small boot with a lip on the end bearing the silver "DEWBAUCHEE" lettering, followed by a flat panel with the chrome housings on the edges, having the tail light sets. A chrome bumper protects the rear, with the license plate seen below it. The lower portion has two mouldings for the exhaust tubes.
The Rapid GT Classic has a mostly unique interior with a wooden trim and steering wheel, leather seats, and manual gated shifter. The dashboard dials and meters are similar to the ones used in muscle car interiors, but differently arranged.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the body, while the secondary colour is applied on the bonnet. A trim colour is also available for the interior, dashboard and seats. It uses a set of wheels that are identical to the ones from the Sabre Turbo, being a derivative of the "Muscle Freak" muscle wheels available in Los Santos Customs.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Rapid GT Classic has decent handling for its class. It has sharp turning capabilities which can lead to oversteer that can be quite challenging at high speeds. The high output V8 engine seems to be a higher-revving variant of the modern Rapid GT engine, which shifts at around 7500rpm in full throttle, and rev limiter set at 8000rpm. Braking is below average when compared to higher end cars in its class. Crash deformation is acceptable.
The Rapid GT Classic is powered by a single-cam V8 engine. Unlike other V8 engines found on other cars, this one sports additional details over the centre to give the impression of a slightly larger size. With the supercharger blowers applied, the engine can have additional pulleys that seem to be properly placed on it.
