GTA Online’s Podium Vehicle is given a fresh update by Rockstar Games every week in the Diamond Casino, but which car is available this week, and how do you guarantee a win on the Lucky Wheel? Here’s everything that you need to know about the Podium Vehicle.

Although GTA Online is filled with countless activities and objectives for players to complete, Rockstar takes its time when it comes to significant content drops.

So, to keep the community busy and engaged, the devs implement a weekly update every Thursday that includes login bonuses, boosted rewards for specific missions, featured races, and of course, a revised Podium Vehicle to, hopefully, take home.

While most players struggle to win the top prize and take home the Podium car, a GTA content creator has figured out how to rig the Lucky Wheel every single time using a simple technique.

What Podium Vehicle is available this week?

The Karin Sultan Classic is up for grabs this week on the Lucky Wheel. It is worth $1,288,500 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. Check out the dealership’s description below:

“What’s that you’re saying – the Karin Sultan was already a classic? That might be true, but the Sultan Classic is both an evolution and a throwback. Something like the true essence of a high-octane four-door racer. It’s a time machine to the late 90s when haircuts were bad, movies were good, gang warfare was everywhere and the sitcoms you stream were on TV. Get in, take a ride, don’t look back.”

Adding this Podium reward to your collection all comes down to a spin on the Lucky Wheel, but you won’t have to rely on beating the odds this time.
