The Pfister Comet S2 Cabrio is one of the most recognizable drop-top sports cars in Grand Theft Auto Online. Released during The Contract update, this vehicle blends real-world styling cues from the Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet with the signature arcade handling of Los Santos. If you're wondering whether it's worth the seven-figure price tag or how it performs on a tight track, you're in the right place. We'll cover its exact purchase cost, performance statistics, customization depths, and how to buy it without wasting your in-game cash.
Acquisition and Pricing Details
You don't need to complete complicated Heist setups or unlock hidden trade prices to buy the Comet S2 Cabrio. It's available directly to all players via Legendary Motorsport.
- Purchase Price: GTA$1,797,000
- Storage Location: Any owned property garage as a Personal Vehicle
- Delivery Method: Request via the Interaction Menu through your Mechanic
- Resell Value: 60% of purchase price plus 60% of all applied modifications
Unlike some drip-feed vehicles that require trade price unlocks through the LS Car Meet reputation system, the S2 Cabrio is straightforward. You log in, visit the in-game phone browser, select Legendary Motorsport, and purchase it outright. Once bought, you can store it in any standard garage, executive office garage, or nightclub storage level.
Performance Statistics and Top Speed
On paper and on the asphalt, the Comet S2 Cabrio offers a lively driving experience. Powered by a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout mated to an 8-speed gearbox, it accelerates rapidly off the line. However, rear-wheel power combined with a light frame means you'll need throttle control coming out of tight corners to avoid spinning out.
- Tested Top Speed: 129.25 mph (208.01 km/h) fully upgraded
- Lap Time: 1:04.298 on standardized community test tracks
- Vehicle Class: Sports
- Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive (RWD)
While its top speed is competitive within the Sports class, its handling profile is twitchy. If you compare it to all-wheel-drive alternatives, you'll notice more oversteer. Expert drivers enjoy the slip angle, but casual racers might struggle to keep it planted on bumpy city streets during high-speed getaways.
Customization Options at Los Santos Customs
Vehicle modification is where the Comet S2 Cabrio truly shines. Taking your car to Los Santos Customs or an owned Auto Shop unlocks a massive array of visual and performance upgrades. Fully upgrading the car costs approximately $392,600 on top of the initial purchase price.
- Performance Upgrades: Engine tunes (EMS Level 4), transmission upgrades, race brakes, and turbocharging.
- Aesthetic Modifiers: Dozens of bumper choices, carbon fiber splitters, skirts, and side exhausts.
- Liveries: Over a dozen unique liveries are available, heavily referencing real-world motorsport history. Notable options include retro racing stripes, brand throwbacks like Retro Redwood, and track graphics.
- Roof Options: Being a cabriolet, the folding soft-top raises and lowers dynamically via your vehicle interaction menu when parked or driving at low speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Comet S2 Cabrio be used in professional races?
Yes, it belongs to the Sports vehicle class and can be selected in any standard or custom Sports class race lobby. Though it isn't the absolute fastest vehicle in the meta, it holds its own on technical tracks.
Does it feature Imani Tech upgrades?
No, the Comet S2 Cabrio does not support Agency vehicle workshop upgrades like the Missile Lock-On Jammer or Remote Control Unit. You'll have to rely on standard defensive driving and speed to escape griefers.
How does it compare to the standard hard-top Comet S2?
The Cabrio offers identical performance profiles and engine sounds to its coupe counterpart, but adds the folding convertible roof mechanism and slightly different weight distribution due to the open-top chassis conversion.
Can you store it in the Kosatka Moon pool?
No, the Kosatka vehicle storage pool is strictly reserved for the Toreador submarine car. The Comet S2 Cabrio must be housed in standard land properties.
