Elegy RH8

About this vehicle

• ◆The name "RH8" is a reference to "Record Holder 9" ("RH9"), a name given to GTRs that can run a 9 second quarter mile.
• ◆When fitting any rear bumper with a diffuser, a sticker is added that reads "Bay Shore," this is translated to "Wangan" in Japan. This is a direct reference to the famous Japanese Mid Night Club street racing team of the 1990s. The sticker also bears near identical resemblance to the club's . In turn, this is a reference to Rockstar Games' own franchise, Midnight Club. The sticker is also a reference to the semi-famous drift team and garage named Riverside, owned by the late Atsushi Kuroi. The sticker also shares the same font type as Riverside.
• ◆The Legendary Motorsport's description of the Elegy RH8 is a reference to the US Federal Government seizing and crushing banned Nissan Skylines that were illegally imported into the US.
• ◆The "German toll road" description is a reference to the Nissan GT-R being tested on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a pro circuit that also serves as a toll road when there are no races.
• ◆When modifying the rear bumper, the reverse light will disappear, but the light will still shine when backing up; if the player manages to crash and make the rear bumper fall off, the reverse light will appear to be floating mid-air without being attached to anything.
• ◆When the Carbon Front Splitter is installed, a small sticker can be seen reading "Yours", a reference to the tuning company Mine's.
• ◆In the PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, the Carbon Front Splitter is modeled incorrectly, resulting in an asymmetrical design. However, it is possible that Rockstar has embraced this design, as the same asymmetry appears on the model on the Annis Japan Tee clothing item.
• ◆When the Exposed Intercooler grille is fitted, twin turbochargers are installed in the engine bay.
• ◆Humorously, the part can can be found in the files named " elegy_discopotato ". This is a reference to the Garrett GT28 turbocharger, which is nicknamed "disco potato".
• ◆While the spoiler found on the car by default is treated as stock, Los Santos Customs lists the option as "None", meaning the spoiler cannot be removed, despite the stock spoiler being called "None".
• ◆Furthermore, the stock spoiler does not offer an increase in traction unlike the other spoilers available. This also applies to vehicles such as the ETR1, Gang Burrito, and Infernus.
• ◆During the GTA Online Bonuses (March 2023) event, players could obtain an Elegy RH8 at Premium Deluxe Motorsport which featured no equipped spoiler. However, viewing the Spoilers section at mod shops would re-equip the stock spoiler.
• ◆If purchased for free, the vehicle was not available to sell at Los Santos Customs. This was changed in the Bikers update for the enhanced version, where the player is now able to sell the vehicle for 50% of the value of any modifications applied to the vehicle. This also applies to any vehicle bought prior to a major bug patch that fixed players being able to purchase vehicles with hacked money, albeit these vehicles also only sell for 50% of the value of any modifications applied. This only applies to the enhanced version of the game.
