LOS ANGELES: The latest update to Grand Theft Auto Online, The Vespucci Job, is available now, developer-publisher Rockstar announced. The new update brings with it a new game mode, heavy on racing around the game’s open world, as well as three new cars and in-game bonuses.
In The Vespucci Job, two teams face off against each other: a “lunatic on the run in the new Issi Classic, trying to hit every checkpoint in time” or a squad car looking to take out the driver. For this job, players can get behind the wheel of three new vehicles: Vapid Flash GT Sports car, the Weeny Issi Classic, and the Sea Sparrow helicopter. The game mode seems influenced by 1969 classic movie The Italian Job (and its 2003 remake), which had a group of thieves creating a traffic jam to steal a shipment of gold and transport it in a clutch of Minis.
