The Maxwell Asbo is a two-door compact car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Diamond Casino Heist update.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Asbo is based on the Vauxhall Corsa C, with the rear portion, particularly the rear lights, having some influence from the 2005–2009 Fiat Grande Punto. The body design is also similar to the Citroën Saxo, more precisely the Citroën Saxo VTS, as seen in the front bumper, side profile, exhaust, and elements of the rear bumper, with some additional elements from the Peugeot 106. The headlights may have been taken from the Ford Escort RS Cosworth or the facelifted Volkswagen Polo Mk3. A wide variety of bodykits and accessories are available for the Asbo, keeping with the Corsa's association with British youth culture.
Liveries and tuning[]
- The "Patchwork" livery is a reference to the limited edition of several of the Volkswagen vehicles called "Harlequin".
- The "Pussycat Magazine" livery is a reference to an unknown modified Corsa B.
- The "Sports Bumper" front bumper seems to be somewhat inspired by the Opel Corsa C GSi.
- The "Street Bumper" front bumper and the "Sport Bumper" rear bumper are based on the 2002 Opel Corsa OPC Concept.
- The "Competition Bumper" is modeled after the unknown modified Citroen Saxo.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Asbo features a compact and rounded body, where the front bumper features plastic details on the outer portions and a plastic strip on the upper side holding the license plate, as well as a single intake spanning about two-thirds of the car's width and the fog lamps next to it. The area above the bumper features a central grille of about the same width as the bumper intake and having a chrome horizontal separation, alomg with chrome housings containing dual circular lamps and outer amber lights per side. The bonnet is relatively simple and bears the manufacturer logo on the front.
On the sides, the car features various plastic details on the arches, the skirting area and on the middle section, the latter passing through the doors. The cabin area is distinctively tall, featuring plastic trim around the windows and on the roof, along with mirror wings on the A-pillars that have plastic lower halves. A small antenna can be seen on the rearmost side of the roof.
The rear of the car is predominated by the rear compartment door, having the corresponding badges displaying the car's name and manufacturer and an inset panel with a plastic detail on the upper side, intended for the license plate. Large tail lamps can be seen on either side of the rear door, each one consisting of dual inner red, amber and white lamps and outer bracket-shaped red lamps. The rear bumper has a plastic detail on the upper side and an inset area, where a driver-side exhaust tube and a passenger-side hook can be seen.
The car uses the "Schafter White" interior and dial set, which is derived from the ones used in the Schafter V12/LWB and their armoured variants, obviously altered to fit into the hatchback layout. However, it reuses the "Plain Jane" dials from the Albany Primo Custom replacing the original Schafter ones, with the speedometer on the centre, the tachometer on the left and the two small fuel/temperature gauges on the right.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork, while the secondary one is applied on the upper halves of the mirrors, the engine cover and the interior stitching. A trim colour is also available for the interior, as well as an accent colour for the dial texture (set to black in purchased examples and cannot be applied back). The car uses a set of eight-spoke wide rims with four bolt details around the centre.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Asbo's overall performance is below average at best. Wheelspin is high on initial takeoff, though this unfortunately implies nothing of the actual output of the engine. The Asbo is simultaneously prone to spinouts and oversteer, and it demonstrates excessive body roll in sharp turns if executed undramatically. It doesn't fare very well against collisions due to its fairly weak durability. Keeping with the British youth culture theme, the Asbo's wheels will have full negative camber if given the right suspension upgrades.
The car is powered by a transversely-laid 4-cylinder engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, front wheel drive layout. It uses the same high-revving and loud sound from cars like the Bifta and the Kuruma.

- FlyLo FM
- Soulwax FM

- Music Locker Radio (Enhanced Editions only)
- Media Player (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
Trivia[]
General[]
- The car's name comes from the acronym of Anti-social behaviour order, a civil order in the UK used to designate someone as having anti-social behaviour. It is a term often used to describe juvenile delinquents in the UK, alluding to the popularity of the Vauxhall Corsa with teenagers and young drivers.
- The car’s description, as well as several mods available for it at Los Santos Customs, such as the oversized spoilers, body kits, and the cambered wheel suspension, are references to the practice of ricing; a pejorative term referring to poorly modifying cars with the intention to make them appear as if they have improved performance (despite there often being little to nothing done to actually improve performance). The Asbo's real-life counterpart, the Corsa, is a common target of such modifications.
- The car has a unique set of gauges, reminiscent of generic early-2000s replacement tuning gauges that were (and still are in some parts) popular in Europe.
- These same dials are also available as one of the mod options on the Primo Custom, where they are called "Plain Jane".
