Virgo

In a postwar car industry awash with fins, scoops and ornamental hubcaps the Virgo stood out as something more composed and thoughtful. Don’t let the rhino-horn fittings, onboard minibar and the fact that it handles like a shipping container on shopping cart wheels deceive you: this is as close as the American car industry has ever come to elegance.

The Virgo is a classic luxury coupe featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Manufactured by Albany in the game, its design draws inspiration from iconic real-world Vehicles like the Cadillac Eldorado, showcasing a timeless and elegant style that harks back to the golden age of Automotive opulence.
