The Emperor ETR1 is a two-door endurance racing car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Cunning Stunts update.
Influence[]
The ETR1's general shape and front and rear fascia are primarily based on the Lexus LF-LC Vision Gran Turismo. The front fascia and the bonnet are taken from the Lexus LFA, with some racing modifications, namely the spoiler, based on the Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA. The front intake, although similar to the LFA, may have also been inspired by the Toyota FT-HS. The headlights as well as the vents below them are heavily inspired by the Toyota FT-1, while the tail light's shape, although similar to the LF-LC VGT, is closer to the 2011 Scion FR-S Concept. The roofline is nearly identical to the first-generation Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S. The wide-body kit seems to be inspired by the Super GT race cars, most notably the 2008 Lexus SC430 GT500, as seen in the side skirts, rear fenders, and exhaust placement, as well as the Lexus RC F GT500 seen in some additional elements.
Liveries[]
- The "Dense" livery for the ETR1 is a reference to the Denso SARD Lexus SC430 Super GT livery.
- The "Kronos" livery is based on the Petronas Motorsport livery for the SuperGT versions of the Lexus RC F and the Lexus SC430.
Design[]
The design of the ETR1 is very unique, featuring a carbon-fiber splitter spanning the whole width of the car and a large intake on the center, along with the manufacturer emblem above it. On the upper area, there is a thin grille on the center and curved headlights, composed of four square units and LED-like strips, placed in black housings. The hood features two small vents near the windshield.
The sides denote its bulky profile, featuring vertical intakes and air-flow exits on both sets of fenders, along with a single side-exit exhaust on the driver side, indicated by the heat shield around it. Around the greenhouse area, the pillars are finished in black and the rear quarter sections are covered by what appears to be fuel inlets, while a black, bolted-on plate covers the rear of the cabin.
The rear section features a large carbon-fiber spoiler placed on the rear of the vehicle, followed by the tail lights, the license plate and a lower exit vent. A 5-element diffuser can be seen at the bottom, with a single brake light on the center. Its underside is fully carbon-plated, which appears to be a single piece that includes both the front splitter and the rear diffuser.
The interior of the car makes use of steel flooring and sport seats with race seatbelts. The ETR1 includes various switches and buttons around the center console, and features a knob reading F/R, likely indicating a rear/four wheel drive locking diff. The steering wheel itself includes dual RPM indicators on the upper section, and a large extended gear-shifter is centralized on the console between the seats. Also, a radio is seen located under the dashboard, on the passenger side.
The primary color is applied on the bodywork, the interior stitching and the detail on the steering wheel that surrounds the badge, while the secondary color is applied on the inner side of the central intake, the inner sides of the bulky fenders, rear-view mirrors, roll cage, brake calipers and the center of the stock wheels. Like the RE-7B, the ETR1 features racing slicks with Atomic markings for the stock wheels, with the rims being similar to the "Endo v.1" rims available in Los Santos Customs, albeit using a permanent grey color and featuring a protruding center.
Both liveries have the same sponsors and only differs by the primary one (Kronos or Dense):
Performance[]
The car performs well for its type, surpassing the performance of many other cars in the Supers class. It has excellent traction thanks to its large spoiler, giving it large amounts of downforce when accelerating, as well as allowing it to retain speed in corners. The car has a lower-revving engine compared to other endurance cars, but still supplies a large amount of power for its top speed. The engine sounds relatively powerful but certainly is not as high pitched as the RE-7B or Tyrus.
The engine model appears to be similar to that of the Sultan RS', sharing the same valve covers. The model has 3 pipes on each manifold, making it a V6 engine. It bears oil breathers and a fuel injection port to the left of the model, as well as cold-air pipes from the Rapid GT. Its engine sound is a higher-pitched variation of the one used in the Coquette, the Jester and the Jester (Racecar).

Events[]
- Could be won from the Lucky Wheel in the Casino during the week after the release of the Los Summer Special Update.
Trivia[]
- If damaged, the ETR1's stock spoiler may detach from the car. However, a "No Spoiler" option can be applied in Los Santos Customs by removing the spoiler.
- This has since been fixed in the GTA Online: Bikers patch.
- In Content Creator, however, the ETR1 may spawn with or without the stock spoiler, suggesting it is considered an extra.
- According to the internal name, it was originally named "SHEAVA", but was soon changed to ETR1 prior to its release.
- The file name may be derived from Shiva from its pronunciation, likely named after the Hindu god of the same name.
- The ETR1 is the first vehicle to be based on a Vision Gran Turismo vehicle; another Vision Gran Turismo-based vehicle is the Nero Custom.
