Cars are the first thing many players think about when they hear the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Even the first concept of the series was based on stealing and selling hijacked vehicles. In GTA 5 and GTA Online, Rockstar Games pushes the collectible rides to a whole new level. Today, we'll take a look at an icon, a car that has been in the game since GTA: San Andreas - the Annis ZR350 GTA 5.

The ZR350 first appeared in GTA: San Andreas.

Annis ZR350 GTA 5 Online design and performance

The ZR350, previously known as ZR-350, is a two-door sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online. It was introduced as part of the 1.57 Los Santos Tuners update in July 2021, along with the speedy Karin Calico. In the HD Universe (the third and current canonical universe of the Grand Theft Auto series), the ZR350 is manufactured by Annis.

Regarding its performance, the Annis ZR350 GTA 5 reaches an actual top speed of  117.50 mph (189.10 km/h). It's one of the fastest Tuner cars in GTA 5 Online at the moment.

However, according to the game files, the Annis ZR350 top speed is just 93.08 mph (149.80 km/h). The ZR350 struggles a little bit when compared to others in its class like the Jester RR.

Annis ZR350 in real life

Annis ZR350 real-life inspiration is 1992-2002 Mazda RX-7 (FD), similar to its appearance in GTA San Andreas. From a technical standpoint, its design shares many similarities with the real RX-7. You can notice the features like the engine bay, which depicts a rotary engine.

This vehicle resembles the real Mazda RX-7, the car that Dominic Toretto once drives in the Fast&Furious.

However, Rockstar Games also adds a few touches that they seem to borrow from other models.

  • Taillights: Similar to those on the Mazda MX-5 Miata (NB2). However, the bulb housings are surrounded in black instead of red.
  • Headlights: The headlight housing area resembles that on the RX-7 with influences from the 1990-1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA).
  • Interior: The inside of the Annis ZR350 looks similar to that of the Banshee 900R and the Penumbra FF. It's essentially white/paintable variations of the one used in the Banshee.
To bring it a new look, you can tune the ZR350 at mod shop to fit your likings.

How to get Annis ZR350 in GTA Online

If you want to know where to buy Annis ZR350, you can find one in Legendary Motorsports. The base version of the car goes for a price of $1,615,000. You can store the car in your Garage (Personal Vehicle). It can be customized at Los Santos Customs and LS Car Meet Mod Shop.

However, there's another way to obtain this vehicle for free in the new Los Santos Tuners update. You will win an Annis ZR350 for completing the third prize Ride Challenge. That means you have to finish in the top 4 in 5 Pursuit Races during the week.

Also, you can unlock the GTA 5 Annis ZR350 trade price to purchase the vehicle at a discount. The discounted price will put this vehicle at $1,211,250. However, you cannot know for sure whether you can get the trade price or not.

Save yourself the money and win this car from the game's event instead!

The game unlocks a Trade Price for the Los Santos Tuners vehicles randomly. You get a new unlock every 5 Reputation Levels. Go, get to racing and build up your RP as quickly as possible. And in case you don't like the vehicle for whatever reason, you can sell it at Los Santos Customs for $969,000 (60% of the original purchase), plus 60% of the value of your upgrades.

Note: Players cannot purchase the ZR350 in GTA 5 (offline, single-player version). It's only available in GTA Online.

GTA Online Annis ZR350 mods

After you purchase the Annis ZR350, you'll unlock the option to modify the car to your likings. To do so, you must first visit Los Santos Customs or the LS Car Meet Mod Shop. The ZR350 is compatible with all upgrades in the game. You can freely add armors or change the vehicle from head to toe, inside out.

The cost to modify a single element on Annis ZR350 varies from a couple of hundred dollars to $50,000, depending on the parts. So, if you decide to do elaborate work on this car, you'll be set back by another $100,000 - $175,000.

This concludes our short overview and notes on the Annis ZR350 GTA 5. All in all, it's not the best value for your money, but it will do a solid job when you're racing.
