The latest GTA Online update has added Kart Krash, a mode that adds guns to go-karts.
Kart Krash: Full Auto is the latest mode to be added to GTA Online and, as the name implies, it has you driving go-karts. The twist here is that Kart Krash is actually an adversary mode and is much more like a deathmatch than a race. Think Mario Kart's battle mode, but with guns.

Rockstar Games detailed the new mode through an announcement on Rockstar Newswire, describing it as introducing "a new flavour of carnage to GTA Online". The mode lets players right in teams, or in free-for-alls, and the objective is simply to kill the other players. The announcement also said that for the first week of Kart Krash being active, players can get double GTA$ and RP as a little incentive to give it a try.
The GTA Online subreddit has been surprisingly quiet about the addition of Kart Krash, implying that it hasn't really made much of an impact. Some early impressions include some wishing that it was an actual racing mode, whilst others just seeing it as a bit throwaway. Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen said that the mode is "Mario Kart, but terrible" and predicted that the mode will turn into a ghost town after the bonus XP and money disappears. Ouch.
Kart Krash wasn't the only thing added to GTA Online this week though, as a brand new vehicle has also been introduced. The Pfister Growler can be bought from Legendary Motorsport and can also be given a Test Drive through the new Car Meet function of GTA Online. Other cars available to Test Drive this week include the Karin Sultan RS Classic and Vulcar Warrener HKR.
The final change made to GTA Online this week is that players who export exotic cars and rob liquor and snack shops will get extra money and RP for doing so, apparently to take everyone back to their roots.
