Trust me, when you go up against an MK2 rider who knows what they're doing and knows how to use countermeasures effectively, especially chaff, you pretty much have no chance unless you get lucky or they f*ck up somehow. Seriously. I'd love to meet the guy who decided to give the Mk.2 chaff, not to berate him but to study him, what kind of man is so le extreme. What's even funnier is that when he took the idea to R* and T2 they were just like "oh yeah, that will sell sh*tloads of shark cards!". 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fish_head 985 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I was unsure about whether or not to but this car. on the plus side it’s a new sports classic, it vaguely resembles a 70s Maserati, and cayo perico is ensuring my bank balance is healthier than normal. but on the downside. It’s 3.6m (regardless how much money I got) it’s too long, it’s got those awful emerus type windows. Silly doors. And I’ve already got a stromberg and that rarely sees the light of day. but, with a lack of interest in what’s yet to come in the update, and already having 3 rsx’s. I succumbed to temptation. and boy!! What an absolute hoot! It’s looks are far easier to live with than I figured. It’s almost subtle looking... almost it’s fast, and handles well enough, but the boost just gets you out of harms way in an instant. And if that threat persists, then chances are it didn’t realise you were a weaponised vehicle that can soak several hits whilst returning fire, as your blip is just a normal blip. This is definitely a useful useful tool, even if you completely forget that it’s a submersible too 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Cutter De Blanc 15,236 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I'm really gonna need for this thing to go on sale before I trade the Stromberg in for it Just a little sale would be fine, this thing is over 4 million dollars with mods, I only make like half that back selling the old boat Edited January 8 by Cutter De Blanc Link to post Share on other sites
CarnageRacing00 5,375 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just bought it, love it. it’s ugly, not really my style at all... but whatever. It has unlimited missiles, a rocket boost and goes underwater and can be used in heists or any other mission. Just hop in this thing and spam the rocket boost and missile launch buttons. As long as you don’t blow yourself up, you’re untouchable. Land in the water? So what, just boat yourself to an angled piece of geometry and launch back onto dry land. the boost is surprisingly manageable, seems to have very good road traction although that does make it very difficult to power slide. it’s fun to figure out how to utilize it to cheese the OG heists. Trivializes a lot of the prep mission objectives to the point they feel like glorified contact missions. Worth 4 million (after upgrades?) Considering how easy Cayo Perico is to solo, yeah, it’s worth it. Plus all the free money Rockstar has been giving out... it’s a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites

FiveGRANDMan 30 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 In its present form, this car is a hoot to drive and bait the MKII_Broom boys, and chase bounties down. So far I'm about 20-0-2 vs the broom boy. Broom boy typically gets the first shot or two in, but if you spam a few quick missiles from your Toreador, broom boy dies. Some times a Kuruma or two will pester you but this car is easily dispatched. Hopefully the Toreador is not smurffed too badly next update. Its been fun watching Broom boys run away or quit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ACR 1,084 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I reallly like shark livery for toreador, i just wish it didn't come with those airforce stars and serial numbers on the back since it's not an air vehicle nor is affiliated with military unless it's some kind of army prototype. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FiveGRANDMan 30 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I should mention, the Toreador can lock on to jets as well. I shot down an annoying Hydra-griefer last night, once the Toreador missile locked on, no amount of circling could save the panicked pilot in the doomed Hydra. 5GM 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Well it should be available for everyone who log in this week. Just log in, run the game and you should get notification that you've unlocked new livery or something. According to newswire post it's only available this week so don't forget to do it by the end of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SummerFreeze 8,137 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I didn't like this car at first because wedge shape, four doors, chrome trim, louvers, glass roof and doors, etc. was just too gaudy. But then I figured why not turn the gaudiness up to 11 with colored seats? And it works... (Yes, different-colored front and rear bumpers, too.) This is gasoline green trim/secondary, and a slightly off-white crew primary. Other colors that work IMO: orange, racing blue, bright purple, pfister pink (for super gaudy) Edited January 14 by SummerFreeze 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is gasoline green trim/secondary, and a slightly off-white crew primary. Other colors that work IMO: orange, racing blue, bright purple, pfister pink (for super gaudy) Gasoline green is my favorite color in the game and sea green is second. At least one vehicle from every update for the past 3 years or so is painted in those 2 colors. Right now i'm using custom ultramarine color with gasoline green pearl for my toreador and i'm probably gonna put shark livery on top of that, i think it's gonna fit decently. I liked toreador from the moment i saw it on the cover, it really got that retro-futuristic vibe to it. Gasoline green seats look surprisingly nice, although i would put limo window tint. It could be that toreador was based on wedge shaped lambo marzal and added to the update because there are several similar styled cars in cyberpunk 2077 which was released 5 days before Cayo Perico.

Arrows to Athens 22,189 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) So I was trying to troll this guy with the rocket boost (you can thrust vehicles and players with it like with the Vigilante}, but ended up taking him out in mid-air when I was kindly given the opportunity.

Pedinhuh 20,501 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thanks to the Casino wheel I just joined the Toreador club and saved a bunch of money. And I have to say, I am SERIOUSLY impressed with this car, excluding all the meme crap aside, it's f*cking beautiful! Since is a incredibly eccentric and gaudy concept car, I could not go with a boring and subdued grey or silver, but colors like Ultra Blue and Torino Red are a bit too modern, too bright and too cliche...Enter one of my favorite colors for boxy sports classics, classic Sea Green: And matte dark red secondary, elegant red interior...Only thing left needed was a set of wheels, I liked the OEM wheels but i just wanted to go with something else, so the Aero Star wheels fit the retro futuristic concept car bill nicely. The model quality of the car is the best R* has to offer, and I suspect the guy who designed the Gauntlet Classic and the Paragon R had their hand on this one, because I really can't find a fault with the lines and design of the car. Even the 4 doors works here, they compliment the exposed interior very well. Speaking of the interior: I initially wasn't a fan of using the Gauntlet Classic interior, but in the end it compliments this car so well that I can overlook it...Though I honestly think this car deserved to have a unique interior like the Ruiner 2000, it's only fair. And then there's the silhouette: It's retro futuristic to the core, it's from the 60s but you wouldn't know unless unless you read the owners manual, because otherwise this car SCREAMS 80's at your face. And you cant help but love it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, it's about as 70s as you can get aesthetically, but that still makes it ahead of its time. Compare it to things like the Ferrari 308 GT4, Maserati Merak/Bora, DeTomasso Pantera, and the Lamborghini Urraco. 1980s cars tended to get much more wedgy. Link to post Share on other sites
