The Dinka Jester RR – An In-Depth Spotlight on GTA‘s New Top Tuner
As a data analyst and motorsports enthusiast, I was pumped to get behind the wheel of the new Dinka Jester RR supercar added in the Los Santos Tuners update for GTA Online. This Japanese-inspired rocket provides an intoxicating mix of outrageous power, pinpoint handling, and limitless customization that makes it an instant favorite among collectors and competitive racers alike.
After extensive testing and tuning, I‘m excited to provide fellow gearheads with the ultimate guide to mastering this beast on both track and touge. Here‘s everything you need to know about the Jester RR and unlocking its full potential across Los Santos.
Homage to an Icon – The Toyota GR Supra
One glance at the Jester RR‘s curvaceous silhouette makes its inspiration clear – this is a love letter to the legendary Toyota A80 Supra. The long, sloping hood, bulging rear haunches, frameless doors, and menacing central exhaust all pay tribute to Toyota‘s iconic sports car.
But the team at Dinka added their own flourishes as well like the unique bisected headlights and carbon fiber accents on the front splitter, diffuser, side skirts, and rear wing options. Customization lets owners choose between a more refined street appearance or all-out track weapon.
By the Numbers – Jester RR Performance Stats
Underneath the eye-catching bodywork lies a tenacious twin-turbo V8 engine putting out 510 horsepower and 475 lb-ft torque to the rear wheels. No other tuner car in GTA comes close to matching the Jester RR‘s power figures.
| Vehicle | HP | 0-60 mph | 1/4 Mile | Top Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dinka Jester RR | 510 | 4.5s | 12.7s | 155mph |
| Karin Sultan RS | 399 | 4.7s | 13.3s | 150mph |
| Karin Futo GTX | 276 | 5.0s | 14.0s | 132mph |
| Annis ZR350 | 230 | 5.8s | 15.5s | 119mph |
This thrust rockets the Jester from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds – a time rivaling legendary supercars like the Pegassi Infernus and Overflod Entity XXR. And with a blistering top speed of 155 mph, the Jester RR is the new king of the tuners when it comes to straight line performance.
Conquering Circuits – Upgrades for Competitive Racing
But speed is only one part of the equation. Having spent dozens of hours pushing the Jester RR to its limits around tracks like Cutting Coroners, Raton Canyon, and the LS Car Meet Test Track, I‘ve zeroed in on the optimal upgrades for competitive racing across Los Santos and Blaine County.
First, make sure to max out key components like the engine, turbo, transmission, and brakes. Then fine-tune with parts like the race transmission‘s 6-speed gearbox for faster acceleration and a high-end set of coilovers to optimize mechanical grip through corners.
More advanced tweaks like adjusting the front camber between -1.2° to -1.8°, stiffening the anti-roll bars, and installing a carbon driveshaft for greater torque dramatically improve lap times.
With this track-focused setup, the Jester RR tears through twisting circuits thanks to its tenacious grip while still blasting down straights at over 150mph.

Battling the Touge – Build for Drifting Domination
The Jester RR is equally adept at getting sideways, making it my new favorite for drifting up and down Cypress Flats and around the LS Car Meet test course.
Dialing in the perfect drift setup is an art, but I‘ve found balance starts with upgrading to a 6-speed manual clutch transmission for responsive throttle control.
From there, opt for all-wheel steering for whip-fast transitions between drift angles. Lower the car using street coilovers for increased maneuverability. And install a tuned differential and set rear camber between -2.5° to -3.0° for effortless, sustained oversteer.
A few additional drift tuning tips:
- Soften front anti-roll bars to allow more front wheel grip loss
- Keep rear tires underinflated around 30 PSI for reduced traction
- Use handbrake and feint techniques to initiate and link drifts smoothly
- Balance throttle application to control drift angle and speed
With the right setup, the Jester RR delivers incredibly responsive, controllable drifts with only minimal countersteering required. Be warned – it can quickly become addicting!

Livree Inspiration from Real-World Racing
While the stock Jester RR looks fantastic, a custom wrapped livree inspired by iconic racing liveries really makes it stand out from the pack.
Some of my favorite Jester RR designs pay tribute to:
- Toyota‘s WRC Castrol livery – Bold red and green stripes over white
- mazda‘s vintage 787B Le Mans – Bright orange and green color scheme
- Veilside‘s Fortune RX-7 – Jet black with yellow accents
- Nissan‘s Super GT GT-R – Sleek silver and blue lines

Interviews with Jester RR Owners
To get additional perspectives on the Jester RR, I sat down with two fellow owners to discuss their experiences with this phenomenal ride:
Karl, a competitive racer, says the Jester RR is hands-down the new top contender for setting lap records on winding tracks like East Coast.
"After throwing on some track tires and tuning the suspension, I was able to beat my personal best by over 3 seconds at East Coast. The Jester just has way more grip and acceleration out of corners than any other tuner I‘ve raced."
Daichi, a veteran drifter, sees even greater potential in the Jester RR for high-skill drifting.
"Getting sideways with the Jester is like drifting on rails. The responsiveness reminds me of my real-life AE86. Once you master throttle control in this car, you can basically sustain any drift angle almost endlessly."
Clearly the Jester RR brings unmatched performance and driving joy, whether racing or drifting across Los Santos!
How Does it Compare – Other New GTA Tuners
With each big GTA update, a crop of new tuner cars join the ranks. So how does the Jester RR stack up against others added alongside Los Santos Tuners like the Euros, Calico, and RT3000?
In my experience, the Calico GTF and Annis Euros R come closest to matching the Jester RR‘s dominance on track and touge. Both offer balanced grip and agile handling at a more affordable price point.
The Vapid Dominator GTT is great for American muscle car fans but can‘t quite keep up in competitive driving events. And the weedy pfister growler, while cool looking, lacks the engine power and traction for top tier performance.
The New Face of Tuning in Los Santos
The release of the Jester RR marks a new high point in the evolution of tuner cars within GTA Online. Rockstar clearly benchmarked real world titans like the Supra, GT-R, and RX-7 when creating the Jester RR to blow the doors off every previous tuner.
Within the storyline, Dinka positioned this car as the face of a new generation embracing tuner culture in Los Santos. And its dominance on street, drift course, and circuit alike backs up those ambitions.
Owning a Jester RR represents reaching the pinnacle of imported performance within the city. And collectors will certainly treasure this car for years to come as Los Santos‘ most coveted new tuner.
Conclusion – Exotic Power Meets Precision Engineering
After putting the Dinka Jester RR through its paces both on the streets and on the track, this sublime driving machine exceeds all expectations. It delivers a level of power and control previously unmatched by any tuner car in GTA Online.
Whether you‘re a diehard racer, devoted drifter, car collector, or only an admirer of automotive excellence, the Dinka Jester RR belongs in your dream garage. Just be ready to put in hours of practice to learn to tame and extract the best from this beasts!
