Whether you’re trying to steal a jumbo jet or just roleplaying as a cashier at Burger Shot, the living, breathing world of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) allows players to just about go anywhere and do anything. One of the strongest and best-developed features of the game series is the extensive car selection, including several Lexus-inspired vehicles.
It doesn’t matter if you’re racing through the boroughs of Liberty City or down the boulevards of Los Santos—we’ll tell you all about the Lexus analogs in GTA, where to find them, and whether or not they’re worth a space in your garage.

How do I get Lexus cars in GTA?

Typically, getting an Emperor (or any other) car in GTA is fairly simple: log on to GTA online, use your phone to open the Eyefind internet browser, go to the Travel and Transport section, find out which website sells the car you want, and purchase it.
And there you have it, a shiny new Lexus (Emperor?) sitting in your garage. To find a specific Lexus, try the following:
  • ETR1
    : Buy from Legendary Motorsports for $1,995,000. Can also be selected randomly as a target source vehicle from Securoserv during an important mission (will be either the M0N4RCH, PR3TTY, or B1GB0Y variant) in GTA Online.
  • Habanero
    : Buy from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $42,000. Part of the After Hours continuation in GTA online.
  • Lokus
    : A fairly difficult vehicle to find, the Lokus appears in two story missions (Entourage and Meltdown). It can be found in northern Bohan, usually around Fortside and Boulevard—a Lokus will spawn if a player drives a Pinnacle in Dukes. It will also spawn much more commonly in multiplayer traffic than in single-player traffic in GTA IV.
  • Vectre
    : Buy from Legendary Motorsports for $1,785,000, or for $1,338,750 after unlocking the trade price through increasing LS Car Meet Reputation in GTA online.
Key Takeaway You can purchase most of the available Lexus cars online. After you’ve paid and finished customizing, it will appear in your garage.

Are Lexus cars good in GTA?

Despite their sleek styling and admirable performance, Lexus cars are not as popular as some of the other makes and models in GTA. Sure, your ETR1 will leave the cops in the dust pretty much every time, but it’s also competing with
helicopters
,
tanks
, and
functional hoverbikes
for a coveted spot in your garage.
Specifically, the ETR1 has a top speed of 195 mph—that’s really fast, but the ETR1 is dragged down by its steep $1,995,000 price tag. With an entire world of vehicles to choose from, you could probably find one that has a better cost-to-value ratio. Keep your eyes open, though, because the ETR1 goes on sale every now and then, and you might be able to snag one for a bargain.
