“You never forget the first time you sit behind the wheel of a mint condition Declasse Tornado: that effortless class, that shameless bulge in your pants or wetspot on the seat, that dawning certainty that you're still going to be crawling up this gentle suburban hill fifteen hours from now. Still, with our help, onlookers will be so floored by your paint job they won't even take a Snapmatic selfie in front of the impressive smoke clouds coming out your hood.”
- — Benny's Original Motor Works description.
The Declasse Tornado Custom is a two-door lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders: Custom Classics update, released on April 4th, 2016, during the Tornado Week event.

“You never forget the first time you sit behind the wheel of a mint condition Declasse Tornado.”
- — Rockstar Newswire description.
The Tornado Custom is a lowrider variant of the convertible version of the Tornado, where it brings various changes by default.
The vehicle retains its original design from the standard model, retaining the front and rear fascias. However, its roof features a custom pattern detail. Its underside is fitted with a paintable frame and has a visible driveshaft, a different, shorter exhaust setup (dual pipes instead of a single Y-split pipe), and visible hydraulic bars connected to the suspension.
The car is prominently painted in a single color, with the accent color painting the stitching and the details of the interior; and the trim color applied to most of the interior panellings and the soft top. The vehicle retains the stock wheel design from the normal Tornado (being a derivative of the "Flare" rims available in Los Santos Customs), albeit slightly smaller.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Tornado has received some improvements such as its handling and speed but otherwise remains a less-than-worthy competitor, though it has a somewhat reduced turning circle. Braking power is problematic as it requires the use of the handbrake to make quick stops, even with upgrades purchased.
Again, the vehicle is powered by a V8 engine, emitting the same engine sound. It is coupled to a 4-speed gearbox, powering the rear wheels.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Used by attacking enemies in the Grove Street Survival.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Can be converted from a standard Tornado at Benny's Original Motor Works for $375,000.
Trivia
General
- The livery "Neo Geometric" for this vehicle is a reference to the character Neo from The Matrix movies. It also looks similar in design to Digital Rain, which is commonly seen in the franchise.
- The default radio station for the Tornado Custom is East Los FM.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- When the roof is retracted and the vehicle is either stationary or accelerating slowly, the player will rest their left arm on the driver's side door, this also happens on the Buccaneer Custom and the Chino Custom. This does not occur when in first-person view.
- After upgrading to the Tornado Custom and leaving Benny's garage, the car will emit a unique backfire noise. This noise disappears when the car is stored in the player's personal garage or leaving/switching sessions.
