The GTA Online weekly update for August 18 is live, and it adds new car the Imponte Ruiner ZZ-8 to the Grand Theft Auto 5 multiplayer mode. Also included in the update are two new smuggler freemode events, a huge boost to clubhouse contracts, and boosts to several race types in the open-world game including those on Cayo Perico island.
