- "Looking for something wild? Climb inside the fierce V-STR and listen to it growl as it bares that distinctive grill and charges the competition. With this much untamed energy, get ready to lose control. Figuratively, obviously. This high-performance luxury sedan is the jewel in Albany's crown."
- ―Legendary Motorsport description.
The Albany V-STR is a four-door executive car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the The Diamond Casino Heist update, released on January 30, 2020, during the V-STR Week event.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The V-STR is a mid-size 4-door luxury sedan with its overall appearance mainly being derived from a 2019 Cadillac CTS-V. The V-STR also shares a very similar name, along with an almost identical 'V' badge. The front end of the car is heavily Mercedes-influenced, taking most features (upper grille portion, headlights) from the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (C117), along with other cues from the E-Class AMG (W213) (lower grille portion, front vents).
The V-STR is a rather large sedan distinguished by its front end, which is largely predominated by the twin grille bearing chrome trimming around it, as well as a circular part with the Albany logo on it. The lower side features a large intake below the main grille and two smaller ones on the outer sides, having plastic surroundings and DRLs. Right at the bottom there is a small plastic lip. The car uses LED-like lights located in black housings.
The sides feature twin fender vents with a chrome detail right after the front wheels, creating a slightly concaved portion around the doors. It also has visible side skirts and the cabin features black window trimmings. The rear-view mirrors have plastic frames and partially-colored shells.
The rear end features a rather bulky bumper housing the twin exhaust tubes, rear vents and another plastic trim at the bottom. Around the trunk area, there is the plate holder with a chrome detail above the license plate. A set of tail lights can be seen on either side, with the main ones located in black housings. The trunk also has a plastic ducktail spoiler by default.
The V-STR is prominently painted in a primary color, while the rear-view mirrors are painted in secondary. A trim color is available for the interior stitching and backseats. Its interior is the same "Nero White" interior also used in the Neon.
