The Annis Elegy RH8 is a Japanese sports car in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
The car's greenhouse, front quarter, rear bumper area, natural rear wing and wheels are inspired by the Nissan GT-R (R35) SpecV. The front headlamps are reminiscent of the Infiniti G37 Coupes, which is also related to the Nissan Skyline/Nissan GT-R. The tailights resemble the tailights of the Toyota FT-86 Concept.
When taken to Los Santos Customs, the Elegy RH8 has an above average amount of customizable options, due to the fact that it is considered a tuning car.

It also has very little wheel spin, thanks to the all wheel drive system. The car has good weight distribution and also has good balance when cornering, including high speed cornering.

The Elegy RH8 is one of the best handling cars in GTA V (especially in the "Sports" class), due to its great traction, even weight distribution, and all-wheel drive configuration, but it's Achilles heel is it's braking, which even compared to some of the SUVs is very poor.

Locations
GTA V
- Respawns infinitely as a "special vehicle" at each protagonists' delivery garage, as a Rockstar Games Social Club bonus content.
- Can be seen driven by racers in Hao Street Races if the player is a Rockstar Games Social Club member, but it is impossible to steal them even by killing one of the racers.
GTA Online
- The Elegy RH8 is a free car in GTA Online for the console versions, however for the PC version it costs $95,000. It can only be acquired online on the in-game website Legendarymotorsport.net for free if you're a Social Club member. It will not spawn into the world. Other free cars available online are: Khamelion, Hotknife, and CarbonRS (Collector's Edition only). Unlike most vehicles, however, the Elegy RH8 cannot be sold.
Trivia
- The default radio station of the Elegy RH8 is Space 103.2 and The Lowdown 91.1.
- It is the successor to the Elegy, a car in GTA San Andreas that resembled the real-life Nissan Skyline GT-R R32.
- Due to having 4-wheel drive, the Elegy RH8 can sometimes climb mountains faster or "wallriding"
- When fitting any rear bumper with a diffuser, a sticker is added that reads "Bay Shore," this is said as "Wangan" in Japan, this is directly referencing the famous Japanese Mid Night Club street racing team of the 1990s, the sticker also bares near identical resemblance to the club's official team sticker. In turn this is a reference to Rockstar Games' own franchise, Midnight Club.
- The description of it being owned legally in legendarymotorsport.com might be a reference to the Nissan Skyline R34 being illegal in some parts of America. It also mentions that they are illegally imported, which happens worldwide.
- The Elegy RH8 is one of the few cars that can have the rims painted when using Stock Wheels.
- The "German toll road" reference is a reference to the Nissan GT-R being tested on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a pro circuit and also a toll road when there are no races.
- When the exposed intercooler is installed, the twin turbochargers shown in the picture above will appear.
- The Elegy RH8 is one of three DLC vehicles that can be spawned in the world, along with the Turismo R (as this one appears in a GTA Online mission) and the Pigalle (spawns in the mission Time to Get Away), the Elegy RH8 appears during Hao Street Races.
- Although it can spawn during the races, the player cannot steal them.
- When modified correctly, it can resemble the Nissan GT-R Nismo and its GT1 and GT3 race versions.
- When modifying the rear bumper, the reverse light will disappear, but the light will still shine when backing up; if you manage to crash and make the rear bumper fall off, the reverse light will appear to be floating midair without being attached to anything.
- When the Carbon Front Splitter is installed, a small sticker can be seen reading "Yours", a reference to the tuning company Mine's.
- Although it appears to have a 3.8L V6 like the real GT-R, the exhaust note actually sounds more like a 4-cylinder. The engine sound is the same one used in the Oracle, again, based on a car that does not include a 4-cylinder engine in real life.
