The RUNE Cheburek is a budget sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, released on May 29th, 2018, during the Madrazo Dispatch Services Week event.[1]
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Cheburek is a mix of various models of Lada Classic lineup. Its sides resemble the trimless sides of the VAZ-2101 while the front end is borrowed from the VAZ-2106. The rear is extremely similar to that of the Datsun 510, but relevant to the Lada line of cars is closer to the VAZ-2101, but with minor changes such as more detailed taillights and a rear mounted licence plate light instead of a bumper mounted light. The stock bumpers could be based on the VAZ-2107 bumpers, albeit with lower profile.
The design of the car is very simplistic, featuring a slightly angled front end, with a set of circular lamps located in plastic housings and a large grille with the manufacturer's emblem on the center, as well as a chrome trim around it. The cabin area features chrome trims around the windows and a set of square-shaped rear-view mirrors finished in chrome, along with plastic trims on the lower sides. The rear end is basically composed of rectangle tail lamps surrounded by chrome trimmings, as well as the license plate on the center and a "RUNE 1200" badge on the passenger side. Like many vehicles in the game, the rear passenger door windows of the Cheburek do not seem physically possible to roll down. The car's interior and dials are basically derived from the Faction and its variants, but features a dashcam mounted on the dashboard, which is unique to the vehicle.
The primary colour of the car is applied to the bodywork and B-pillars, while the secondary colour is applied to the roof and the rest of the pillars. It also allows for a trim color, which applies to part of the dashboard, door panels and seats.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The car has a small Inline-4 engine, with the same engine sound as the Issi Classic, which is a high-revving, whiny engine. The car has high amounts of torque that cause wheelspin when under heavy acceleration. As expected for a small, less-powerful car, the Cheburek's top speed is average but makes up for its quick and responsive handling, with minor oversteer present at low speeds. Owing to its design inspiration, the suspension feels firm and planted to the ground. The car can easily power slide around corners even without performance modifications. Braking is acceptable. Crash deformation is acceptable, although the car's small mass allows it to be thrown around easily in collisions, with little effectiveness in ramming other vehicles.
The engine may sometimes emit a rattling noise and the transmission sounds clunky when shifting gears, even if the car is fully repaired. However this does not affect the car's performance and are only sound effects to make the car feel as though it is poorly built.
The Cheburek has all four advanced flags enabled[2]:
- The first causes up-shifting to occur much sooner, and at lower engine revolutions, effectively shortening shift rates.
- The second causes the vehicle's engine to heavily over-rev and remain at the engine red-line for a much longer period of time before shifting, causing revolutions to fluctuate.
- The third increases the vehicle's suspension "springiness", causing it to bounce excessively while driving.

Trivia
General
- The name is derived from Cheburek/Чебурек, a deep-fried turnover with a filling of ground or minced meat and onions. Among various East Slavic Countries, it is a popular fast food in Russia, where the car's real-life inspirations originated from.
- The interior's unique dashcam model is a cultural reference, which reflects the dashcams are widespread in Russia as a guard against police corruption and insurance fraud, and provide additional evidence. This has also become an online phenomenon in the form of dashcam crash compilations[3].
- The Cheburek is able to be customized like a "cardboard ricer", which is a trend of customizing a car with various carboard parts, usually shaped like actual body kits (side skirts, spoilers, intakes, etc).
- In addition, all of the available options cost $100 and override the standard price ordering (i.e. the cardboard skirts override the usual $5,500 from any second skirt or similar modification).
- The "Hardbass" livery is a reference to the Russian Hardbass music culture.
- In addition, selecting it will add a speaker inside the trunk, which functions similarly to those available for lowriders from Benny's Original Motor Works.
- The "ProLaps" and "Rusty ProLaps" liveries are a reference to Gopniks modifying their cars with Adidas liveries.
- Both of the liveries will also add a speaker if purchased, just like the "Hardbass" livery.
- The two stripes is a reference to the uniforms Adidas provided to the Soviet Olympic Team in 1980 which only had 2 stripes as a condition of the contract.
- The default radio stations for the Cheburek are FlyLo FM, Los Santos Underground Radio, and Soulwax FM.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Carbon Tuner Hood option has a small dent on the model. This is not present on the standard Tuner Hood.
