The Jugular is a sports car appearing in the first Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto Online, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. It is manufactured by Ocelot in the HD Universe.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
The Jugular appears as a two-door sports car.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Jugular returns to GTA Online as a four-door saloon. It was added as part of the continuation of The Diamond Casino & Resort update, released on October 10, 2019, during the Jugular Week event.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]

The Jugular can be seen parked on the opposite side of the road along the Ocean Drive-inspired road in Vice Beach, facing oncoming traffic, in the first trailer (0:32).
Influence[]
2D Universe[]
In Grand Theft Auto, the Jugular has striking resemblance to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, given the overall shape and the roof panels, hinting an apparent use of gull-wing doors.
HD Universe[]
Returning to Grand Theft Auto Online, the Jugular assumes a totally different design, heavily based on the Jaguar XE SV Project 8. The headlights are similar to the BMW 8 Series (G15), while the front bumper is reminiscent of the 2017–2021 Mercedes AMG GT R.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
Jugulars are seen in a variety of single colors for the body. It can be characterized by its distinct headlight housing and rounded rear end.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Jugular is depicted as a sports saloon with various modifications around the body the exemplify its performance capabilities. The car is most identified by its bolt-on widebody kit, carbon sport wing, roof, & large fender vents, and its large round grille with the Ocelot badge prominently displayed in the middle.
The car uses a dedicated "Jugular" interior, which uses front seats from the "Nero" interior found on cars such as the Nero, the XA-21, and the rear seats from the "Schafter" interior used in cars such as the Schafter, the Tailgater. The analog dials are borrowed from the Raiden. The Ocelot emblem can be seen on the horn cap.
The car is painted with a primary colour for the bodywork, the outer portion of the rims and the interior stitching, as well as a secondary colour for the front horizontal separation and the roof panel. A trim colour is also available for the interior, being applied to the dashboard, horn cap, part of the doors and the seats. Its rims are similar to the "Rally Master" tuner rims seen in Los Santos Customs, but appear to be slightly larger in diameter and are wrapped in low-profile tyres.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
The Jugular has a good top speed and handling, but has low durability.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Jugular possess average performance, but makes up for its traction and all wheel drive layout, allowing it to accelerate quicker and drive efficiently over uneven roads and moderately steep hills. While its handling is average, the car tends to understeer at even medium speeds, requiring effective use of the brakes to take corners appropriately. Top speed and braking remains decent compared to sports sedans like the Jackal and the Kuruma.
The Jugular has one (the eleventh) Advanced Flag enabled.[1] The purpose of this flag is unknown, but it appears to have little impact on performance.
The Jugular is powered by a V8 engine (suggested by its cover), coupled to a 8-speed gearbox in a F4 layout (30% front, 70% rear). Its engine sound is similar to that of the XA-21, and the exhaust may also crackle after letting off the gas at high revs.

Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Statistically, the Jugular has 8 gears by default[4]. This causes problems when one upgrades the car's transmission, which adds one extra gear. As it reaches top (ninth) gear, it loses the ability to downshift itself. Therefore, unless the player manually enters reverse, they are likely going to have trouble accelerating on the next start. This also applies to the Toros, Brutus, Paragon R, and the Novak.
- The Jugular cannot be taken through a car wash.
- Despite the Jugular not being an electric vehicle, its dials are borrowed from the Raiden, even retaining the "Kw" dial in place of a dedicated tachometer, causing it to read incorrectly.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Jugular uses the "Dance" group which can play:
- FlyLo FM
- Soulwax FM
- Los Santos Underground Radio (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
- Music Locker Radio (Enhanced Editions only)
- Media Player (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
