Autarch

"This is not a hypercar. It's not a sports prototype or a concept GT. It's something else. Something much, much better. And this isn't even an advert for whatever it is. The Autarch doesn't need an advert. It doesn't need anything it doesn't have already, least of all the approval of an irrelevance like you. No, you need it: more than you need money, dignity or life itself. Go on, we dare you not to buy it."

- Legendary Motorsport description.

The Överflöd Autarch is a hypercar featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the The Doomsday Heist update, released on December 26th, 2017, during the Festive Surprise 2017 event.

The vehicle is heavily inspired by the. The rear of the car is mostly based on the, although with a lot of elements, such as the diffuser, taken from the KTM X-Bow GT4. Its roof and greenhouse also takes inspiration from the.

The Autarch is distinctive by its sleek and aerodynamic profile, where the front end is fitted with a carbon-fibre splitter, having an elevated section on the centre. Two meshed intakes can be seen on either side above the splitter, while a slatted one can be seen on the centre. The front section features a narrow "nose" with a plastic tip on the centre, the manufacturer emblem, and two long fenders housing the headlamps and carbon-fibre mirror sets, together with triangular carbon-fibre panels with an open section on the inner sides of fenders, intended to let the air flow through the front wheels. The car features a set of carbon-fibre housings with circular lamps located in black panels, along with dual LED lights on the front end of the carbon-fibre panels. The entire front clip hinges from the front and opens forward, revealing a carbon-fibre chassis with two sections in front of the wheels, rear-facing vents, a racing fuel tank and the suspension shocks/springs. It also reveals that the headlamp housings are attached to the chassis.

The sides of the car feature what appear to be butterfly doors, functioning similar to the T20 and GP1. However, the Autarch's doors do not rotate fully along the A pillar, giving them similar characteristics to the Infernus, behaving loosely akin to the design of scissor doors. The greenhouse area is relatively rounded, featuring a curved windscreen with a single wiper on the centre, and plastic trims around the windows, with part of the rear quarters of the cabin finished in carbon fibre and the roof having an intake duct. Black skirts with a concave profile and a vented section can be seen at the bottom.

The rear area of the car features an enclosed engine bay with a sloped profile and a rear central vent, together with carbon-fibre side strips keeping the shape from the cabin area. Two mesh vents can be seen on the rear fenders, along with two rear vented exits located within the same. Part of the rear area is finished in carbon fibre, featuring a set of flat tail lamps on either side, a manufacturer emblem on the upper surface and a black panel below, with F1-style central brake lights. The area below the carbon-fibre panel is fully vented, featuring a license plate on the centre and an open part on the driver side for the exhaust tube. The lower area is occupied by a black four-element diffuser, with flat sections on the edges bearing the manufacturer badges and additional vents below the tail lamps. The rear section hinges from the cabin and opens forward to reveal the carbon-fibre chassis, exposing the engine and the intercoolers behind the rear fender intakes. Its underside is mostly covered in carbon fibre, with the rear axle section exposed. Its interior and dials are derived from the FMJ, although it has paddle shifts behind the steering wheel.

The primary colour of the car is applied on the body and the interior stitching of the dashboard and seats, while the secondary colour is applied in the form of a rear stripe reaching to the roof scoop, as well as part of the rear body panels, the surrounding of the stock wheels and the stitches of the doors. The rim design appears to be a carbon-fibre variation of the one used in the Vacca, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Grand Theft Auto Online
Predictably, the Autarch is highly competitive of a hypercar. Although not as fast as other supercars such as the Vagner, RE-7B and XA-21 around a track, its traction is one of the best in the game, possessing outstanding cornering capabilities. As with many vehicles in the game, the Autarch supports downforce, but it has been cranked up to a level where steering will become relatively sluggish in normal driving, which could result in spin-outs under certain circumstances.

The engine model appears to be the same single-overhead camshaft V8 used on cars like the Cheetah and the Turismo R, coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a rear-mid engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The engine sound is high-revving and loud, appearing to be a higher-pitched version of the GP1 engine sound.
