Annis Elegy RH8
The Annis Elegy RH8 is one of Grand Theft Auto V's most enduring Japanese-coded sports cars. Manufactured by Annis (Rockstar's fictional Japanese auto brand), the Elegy RH8 has been present from V's 2013 launch as Annis's flagship sports entry. Annis sits alongside Karin in V's Japanese-tuner space — Karin tends toward sport-sedan and broader range; Annis tends toward sports / GT-coded performance.

Why it's catalog-worthy
The Elegy RH8 is V's recognizable Japanese-tuner sports car. Like the Karin Sultan, it's an anchor for the tuning / car-meet scene that V's Tuners update (2021) leaned into. Players who built characters around Japanese-tuner identity in GTA Online have spent meaningful in-game time with the Elegy family.
