Tailgater

Luxury German Sedan. Better than a BF, but not quite a Benefactor. Fast and practical with a classy look, this is just the car to over-leverage on.

The Tailgater is a luxury sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Manufactured by Obey, it takes design cues from real-life European sedans, primarily resembling the Audi A6. The Tailgater is known for its balanced combination of performance, comfort, and understated elegance, making it a popular choice among players who appreciate a touch of sophistication in their in-game Vehicles.

The car’s design is both practical and stylish, making it a popular choice for those who prefer an understated elegance in the bustling cityscape of Los Santos.

Performance

The Tailgater is appreciated for its balanced driving performance, offering a comfortable ride with a decent top speed. It possesses reliable handling and good traction, making it suitable for both urban commuting and highway driving.
