- "A Japanese hybrid-electric sportscar with a front-end designed to look like an angry grin might be too whimsical for some, but with a 4-liter V6 engine and 420hp, the Dinka Jester still packs a serious punchline. Race tuned special edition."
- ―Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.
The Dinka Jester (Racecar) is a 2-door sport car in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, added as part of the Festive Surprise update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
Much like the normal Jester, the Jester Racecar resembles the 2015 Honda/Acura NSX, with curvy features and distinct Japanese styling. The headlights and the hood are derived from the BMW i8. The headlights may also draw some inspirations from those of the Honda Civic LX.
The Jester Racecar is made up of an aggressive front face made by the irregular shape of the headlights, causing it to resemble an angry grin. There is a noticeable Japanese style on the Jester, which included many sharp curves throughout the car, specifically the front and sides. The rear is more sloped and rounded, giving it a stark contrast between the front. The Jester also features 2 fuel tank caps (1 on either side).
It now has a racing livery across the vehicle, sponsored by Dinka and includes a following list of sponsors on the livery:

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The Racecar version of the Jester improves upon the original in almost every way, offering improved acceleration, slightly higher top speed, and more responsive handling with a tighter cornering circle. The already good braking and crash deformation are unchanged. This overall improvement makes the Jester Racecar a very solid choice for racing, and it serves as a well-rounded choice suited for almost any kind of race in the Sports car class. The Jester stays a competitive model even through new cars of her class.

Trivia
General
- The default radio station for the Jester Racecar is Channel X.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The "R" in the vehicle is colored red, mimicking the Type-R badge famous among Honda cars, for example the First Generation Honda NSX.
- When heavily damaged, smoke will come out of the front end, as if its engine were at the front, despite being just in front of the rear axle. This is likely a developer oversight.
- The Dinka livery colours (white, red and black) allude to those found on factory team Honda cars entered into the British Touring Car Championship.
- The Jester Racecar has a sponsorship stamp reading, "Dinka International Competition Kit", which spells "DICK" in acronym form.
- If listened carefully, the Racecar variant sounds slightly louder than the standard Jester.
- The Racecar variant can only have its roll cage painted as a Secondary Color, instead of its bodywork combined with it.
