- "You know how it is. One moment you're driving to the store, the next you've succumbed to an overwhelming desire to tear some fresh holes in the asphalt. Your doctor says you need extensive psychiatric treatment, but at Vapid we understand that all you need is the right car. Specifically, one that's both a nimble little runner and a demented little hatchback that's forever on the edge of tearing itself into hot little pieces. Let the therapy begin."
- ―Legendary Motorsport description.
The Vapid Flash GT is a rally hatchback featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, released on April 17th, 2018, during The Vespucci Job Week event.[1]
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Flash GT seems to be inspired by the Ford Fiesta RS WRC, as well as the Ford Focus RS RX, with styling cues from the Hyundai RM15 Concept (similar front grille shape and headlights) and the Volkswagen GTI TCR (tail light shape).
The Flash GT features a distinctively large grille with a red tow hook on the driver side, followed by two small intakes on the outer edges. On the upper side, two black housings contain a set of circular headlights, square-shaped headlights and triangle-shaped turning signals. Its hood features a central intake and a set of hood pins, along with two smaller vents near the windshield.
On the sides, the fenders have a wider profile, allowing the air to flow through each wheel. A black, plastic-like trim can be seen around the windows, with the front section holding a set of stylized rear-mirror wings.
On the rear section, the car features a set of roof spoiler above the rear window and a large spoiler mounted on either side of the trunk. The trunk itself features various hook pins, the license plate, and the rectangle-shaped tail lights. The rear bumper features a distinctive formation that exposes a set of rear vents, followed by a diffuser and a set of angled exhaust pipes. Its underside features carbon-fiber plates covering both ends of the vehicle, with the rear one leaving room for the plastic diffuser. Part of the exhaust pipes are also covered in carbon fiber.
Its interior is mostly stripped out, consisting of a race-style interior also seen in various race vehicles, carbon-fiber door panels with pull straps, race seats, and a roll cage that also occupies the rear section.
The primary color is applied on the bodywork, engine cover, roll cage, and the stitching found on the steering wheel, while the secondary color is applied on the rear-view mirror wings, roof spoiler, and the large spoiler. A trim color is also available for the cage paddings and the seats.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The car is above average for the Sports Car class. The car has good acceleration and a good amount of grip, making it competitive with some of the low top 10 fastest sports cars around a circuit. However, it lacks in top speed, even when it's fully upgraded. Off-road, it demolishes other rally-esque sports cars. However, it is tricky to handle off-road due to the handling flags.
The vehicle sports a front-engine, four-wheel drive configuration, with a 6-speed gearbox. The engine is laid transversely. However, it features no exhaust or inlet manifolds, providing little indication as to its size.

Prominent Appearances in Missions

Events

Trivia
General
- The "Ragga Rum" livery seems to be based on Ken Block's 2011 Monster Ford Fiesta GYM3.
- The default radio stations for the Flash GT are FlyLo FM, Los Santos Underground Radio, and Soulwax FM.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- While the spoiler found on the car by default is treated as stock, Los Santos Customs lists the option as "None", meaning the spoiler cannot be removed, despite the stock spoiler being called "None". A similar case is also found on the Elegy RH8.
- Depending of the livery, the Flag Roof Scoop modifications add a USA flag as standard, with the Junk "21" and Rum Racing "11" liveries using its own texture, which is the same as the one at the bottom texture.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The original model of the car in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update was missing one of its headlight textures on the driver side. It is because its texture is inverted, although it does not affect the functional light casts.
- This has been fixed with the Afer Hours update.[2]
