The Pegassi Torero is a sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Gunrunning update, released on July 25, 2017, during the Torero Week event.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The car's overall design heavily resembles the Lamborghini Countach, particularly the 25th Anniversary Edition, as evident by the front and rear bumper design and the wheels. The side skirts are inspired by the ones found on the 1986 Koenig-Specials Countach Turbo, while the intakes behind the windows are similar to the prototype models of the Countach. Elements such as the double-tail light set-up, rear intake, and overall rear shape show some influence from the Lamborghini Diablo, but changed to fit the more angular lines of the Torero; the centrally-mounted exhaust may also have been borrowed from the Diablo GTR. The front parking lamps and headlights are reminiscent of the ones found on the Ferrari F40, while the rear lamps, though resembling those of the Diablo, are more akin to those of the Ferrari 328.
In contrast to the Countach, the Torero features butterfly doors, evident by the way the doors extend outward upon lift.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Torero assumes a design similar to the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City model of the Infernus, sharing the short body and the rear-mid rear configuration. The front of the car makes use of five thin intakes aligned to each other and two additional vents below these. The upper area contains a set of visible square-shaped lamps on black housings and pop-up rectangular headlamps, along with a bonnet displaying the manufacturer emblem on the front.
On the side profiling, the overall body shape is most noticeable, giving the car its wedged, yet shorter design. The car sports a single strake line which splits air into side intakes leading to the rear brakes, with the upper ones fitted with black fins. On the cabin area, plastic trim can be seen around the windows, while conventional wing mirrors are found mounted just behind the A-pillar. The area behind the side windows feature black slatted intakes and small gills leading to the upper engine bay. The Torero features scissor doors, though they do not extend further out of the body as with the Infernus. In the rear portion, because of the immense engine size and wedge profile of the vehicle, width at this point is most extensive. The vented sections separate to merge with the rear side body panels, leaving ample room for the engine hood cover - a large glass cover. The vehicle sports the same large V12 derived from the Infernus Classic, sharing the same details.
The rear end consists of a body-coloured panel with a black strip on the centre, sporting circular rear lamps similar to the ones on the Infernus Classic, although the inner lamps consist of turn signals with reverse lights on the middle. Below the bumper, a twin exist dual exhaust emerge from the centre.
The Torero's interior layout is unique, where the driver-side dashboard features a rectangular design with blue dials derived from the Banshee, but scaled down and rearranged in a way that the main dials are found between three pairs of smaller gauge clusters and numerous square warning lights on the upper corners and the lower centre. Two air con units are found on the dashboard above the central column, while a glove box cover can be seen on the passenger side. The central column features a radio set and gear stick. The Pegassi wordmark is found on the horn cap.
The Torero only has a single colour, which applies to the entirety of the bodywork. Interior details, such as the seat stitching, seat rear panel, and the horn cap, are also affected by the primary colour. In the files, one of the Torero's traffic default colours assigns a grey colour as secondary (which is not visible), a beige colour as tertiary (which affects the dashboard, steering column, seat inner portions, and the section between the seats) and a light blue colour for the dials (even though the base colour of the Banshee dials is fixed, thus unable to change). This particular colour set can only be seen in Content Creator and may have a slight chance of appearing during the mission Repo - Under the Hammer. The car's rims appear to be a derivative of the ones from the Infernus Classic, featuring five rounded spokes with circular spacing between these, with bolt details on the surrounding and around the centre. However, they have more depth.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The vehicle's overall performance and handling is similar to other classic renditions of sports cars, particularly on par with the Cheetah Classic. The car has agile handling and quick acceleration. The Torero's top speed is particularly high for its type. The car requires intermediate driving though, as the back is quite heavy and tends to fishtail during sharp high speed turns. Furthermore, the Torero is shown to have a rather fragile bodywork, unable to sustain a couple of frontal hits without emitting white smoke, somewhat on par with motorcycles.
In the rear compartment, a V12 engine shared from the Infernus Classic is found, powering the rear wheels through a 5-speed gearbox. Its engine sound seems to be a combination of both the Tyrus and Infernus Classic.

Trivia[]
General[]
- "Torero" means "bullfighter" in Spanish, a clear reference to Lamborghini's logo (a bull) and particularly the Lamborghini Countach, one of the most iconic Lamborghinis of all time, that the Torero is based upon.
- The Front Spoiler and Classic Spoiler available at Los Santos Customs are actual factory options that were present during the Countach production run.
- The Torero's name may also be attributed to Parallel Design's Torero, a production replica of the Lamborghini Diablo.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- A yellow Torero is featured in the Race and Chase: Street Legal arcade game.
- Installing any "Engine Cover" modification will render the actual glass pane cover invisible. This is evidenced when using the "Open Doors" option in the Interaction Menu, where the "Hood" option can be selected and the car will move slightly as if something is opening/closing. Also, if the player walks over the engine bay with the rear compartment "open", they will walk mid-air due to the collision detection from the compartment. In addition, if the same compartment is detached, it will disappear.
- Another detail is that if the player somehow deforms the engine bay with any "Engine Cover" modification installed, a black frame will stay in place and will not deform with the rest of the car. Said frame appears to be part of the original glass pane cover.
