The Karin 190z is a classic sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Doomsday Heist update, released on February 20th, 2018, during the GTA Online Bonuses event.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The 190z is a dual combination of the Toyota 2000GT and the Datsun 240Z/Nissan Fairlady Z/Nissan S30. The side profile and front fascia take influences from the Nissan; the roof, greenhouse, wood grain interior, and rear fascia are derived from the Toyota. The tail lights, as well as the rear bumper, seem to be borrowed from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT.
The 'Classic Rally' Livery is primarily based on BRE Datsun Liveries used since the late 1960s and more specific modern tributes, including Taz Harvey's Panamericana 260z.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The vehicle assumes a traditional profile and a long body, where the front end features a small plastic bumper spanning the whole width of the car, as well as the grille behind it. The outer edges of the car have inset sections holding the large circular headlamps, while the centre features a long bonnet that hinges from the front, covering the engine bay and the strut brace. A small vented section can be seen near the windscreen. The sides of the car feature a set of side hatches and plastic circular mirror casings on the front fenders, as well as long door handles. The greenhouse area is elongated and has chrome trimmings around the windows, no inner pillars between the door and rear-quarter windows, and a large rear hatch. A fuel cap can be seen on the rearmost section of the rear left fender, bearing the Karin emblem. The rear of the car has a small lip on the upper side and a set of circular tail lamps with plastic details around, the outer ones being the amber signals and the inner ones red lamps. The centre of the car is occupied by a plate holder with small markings displaying the car's name and manufacturer. Chrome split bumpers with plastic details can be seen below the lights, as well as two central exhaust tubes below the car. The car features a wood grain interior similar to the one found in the Rapid GT Classic, but the steering wheel features the appropriate Karin logo on it.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork, while the secondary colour is applied on the door handles. A trim colour is also available for the interior, being applied on part of the dashboard, the door cards and the seats. It uses a set of wheels similar to the "Drag SPL" muscle rims available in Los Santos Customs, albeit bearing the Karin emblem on the central details. These rims can also support a dedicated colour, although only examples generated in Content Creator or seen in the mission Repo - Do You Even Lift? May have one.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The acceleration and top speed are below average for its class, even when improved with upgrades. However, the vehicle handles great, and is capable of making tight turns and maintaining powerslides with minimal effort. This makes it a great vehicle for beginner drivers. In addition, the suspension travel helps it traverse rough roads without loss of control. Power is delivered to the rear wheels, although the strong grip means the vehicle has little risk of spinning out from high-torque, even off-road.
The car is powered by a twin-cam inline-6 engine appearing to use small air filters on the intake manifold. It is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in an FR layout. The engine sound is similar to the Stinger and Stinger GT, sharing the distinctive high-revving tone.

Prominent Appearances in Missions[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Appears in Repo - Do You Even Lift?, where it needs to be airlifted by a Cargobob and delivered to the top of a multistory car park in Pillbox Hill.
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport for $900,000.
- No longer available; removed from the website as part of the San Andreas Mercenaries update.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The 190z uses the "Jazz" group which plays WorldWide FM.
Trivia[]
General[]
- In the game's files, the 190z is known as the "Z190", which is an homage to the Nissan's "Z" series. It is likely named backwards, as vehicle model file names do not begin with numbers. A similar case applies to the 811, 300R, 9F and 10F.
- The 190Z's description references the significance both the 240Z and the 2000GT hold in American car culture. They are both regarded to mark a turning point for Japanese cars among American consumers by proving they could be desirable at an enthusiast capacity, and the 240Z in particular is held in high regard in the import tuning scene.
- The 190Z's name itself is a direct reference to Nissan's Z-Car series of sports coupes.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Despite only having two doors, the player can open the side panels (listed as the rear left/right doors) via the Interaction Menu.
- These side panels (or "wing hatches") are derived from the Toyota 2000GT, where the battery is stored on the right side and the air filter and water coolant tank on the left side. The 190z, however, has these vital components within the engine bay.
