new progen luiva supercar just hit GTA Online — roof? windshield? nah

Rockstar just dropped the Progen Luiva into GTA Online and honestly the design is wild. No roof, no windshield, no windows — Progen apparently decided that all that glass and metal was just weighing things down. The whole pitch is fusing performance with weightlessness, and they clearly took that literally.
It's classified as a Super class ride, so expect it to compete with the top tier speed-wise. You can grab it from:
- Legendary Motorsport — the usual spot
- Luxury Autos window display — if you like browsing in person
- The Vinewood Car Club showroom on Elysian Island — GTA+ members only for this one
Kinda getting serious open-wheel vibes from the design language, but with that exposed, stripped-down aesthetic that makes it look like a concept car that escaped the showroom floor. Curious to see how it actually handles — sometimes these ultra-light builds feel sketchy at top speed.
Also worth noting: this is yet another GTA+ perk at the Car Club. Rockstar keeps stacking incentives there and at some point it's basically a subscription car delivery service.
Anyone picked one up yet? How's it compare to the existing supers in your garage?

Honestly the first thing I thought looking at this thing is how miserable it'd be cruising through Vespucci Beach at sunset with zero windshield — you'd be eating bugs the entire drag. That exposed cockpit is made for the Del Perro strip and nothing else.
But real talk: anyone testing this thing up through the Tataviam Mountains or along that winding coastal road past Pacific Bluffs? That's where the weight reduction either sings or becomes a death sentence. The super lights always feel sketchy on those elevation changes near the vineyard.
Weight reduction is the oldest tuner religion out there, but there's a reason actual race cars still run windshields — aero matters more than shaving glass pounds at speed. This thing's gonna feel floaty above 130 unless you dial in the suspension and slam the ride height.
Bet it becomes the new go-to for speed runners though. That open-wheel classification means we might see some wild downforce builds if Rockstar lets us touch the aero. And if it takes engine swaps? Different conversation entirely.
Honestly my first thought was whether this thing's viable for contact missions or if it's just another freemode flex car. The floatiness at speed that tuner_crew mentioned — that's exactly what killed the T20 for me back in the Heists days. You'd catch air over the smallest bump on the Pacific Bluffs run and lose two seconds landing.
Still, I'm getting flashbacks to the Package Killer mission from GTA IV where you're chasing that guy through Broker in a Comet with zero margin for error. A car this stripped down and responsive would've shredded that chase. Sometimes weight reduction IS the mission strategy.
Anyone tested it in a proper contact mission yet or are we all just doing test laps?
floaty above 130 unless you dial in the suspensionThis is exactly why I'm skeptical about running this in heist setups. The Contract and Cayo presisos demand predictability — you eat one bad landing on the island approach and you're watching the countdown with zero margin. Raw top speed means nothing if you're correcting every half-second. That said, the no-glass setup could actually be an advantage for drive-by roles. Unobstructed aim angles without the windshield snap issues? If you're running gunner on a convoy job, that matters more than cornering stability. Still not dropping premium currency until someone posts actual lap data against the Itali GTO. Payout efficiency starts with picking the right tool.
