====Performance====
The 2015 GTA Spano acts as a Class S, Elite Car version of the Lotus Exige S Coupe, with a high rate of acceleration due to using a high nitro stat. Nitro efficiency has been improved from the 2010 Spano, with 6/12/16.
On a different note, though, the 2015 Spano now has a wider drifting radius, as well as slightly worse handling. This makes the 2015 Spano an impractical choice for tracks like Venice, Sector 8, and Patagonia.

==== Price====
Originally, to obtain the 2015 GTA Spano, must be made, a total of for an equivalent price of . Its debut update required an additional to be paid even after reaching VIP Level 15 but has since been phased out.
With the introduction of in the 2019 Holiday Update and changes in upgrade costs as of the Gangstar Season Update, the 2015 GTA Spano now requires 55 of each , , , , 60 , 60 , 160 and .
This huge paywall, coupled with very high upgrade costs, makes the 2015 GTA Spano the most expensive car in the game. Due to the absurdly high cost and a very low "bang for your buck" level, it is to go through the VIP levels to get this car.
With the introduction of the Master Keys item in the Golden Season Update, which can unlock any car that is normally unavailable in the garage, including the 2015 GTA Spano itself, made the cost to get the car significantly reduced, going as low as $30 (or for free if the player finished in events that featured a as a reward) compared to $4,000 from before. As a result, the cost to get to VIP level 15 to get the car is rendered useless.
====Usage====
As of the 2022 Lunar New Year Update, the 2015 GTA Spano is now competing against other cars in the 1769 - 1772 bracket, but it is inferior to cars like Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C7), Lotus Evija, Chevrolet Camaro SS Independence Edition in term of performance.
While the 2015 GTA Spano was updated in the 2019 Spring Update to only require 32 V12 Engine cards from the original 52, its extreme buying price negates any benefit in saving the engine cards over upgrading the Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid (x80), Lamborghini Aventador SV (x64), Pagani Huayra BC (x64), Aston Martin Vulcan (x64), Ferrari Enzo Ferrari (x32) or Apollo Intensa Emozione (x92).
Even the TRION NEMESIS is a better choice, as it can be obtained for (worth one Master Credit Pack and an extra ) and McLaren P1™ GTR is priced at (worth one Vault of Tokens), respectively; although the NEMESIS requires 64 Forced-Induction V8 cards and the P1 GTR requires 64 Hybrid Engine cards, both are still better choices than the 2015 Spano, especially due to lacking Elite Car status yet still being better than the Spano in terms of overall performance. In fact, the amount of Credits that can be obtained from 40 Master Credit Packs is equivalent to buying a TRION NEMESIS 30 times.
In terms of pre v4.1 Car Mastery rewards, the 2015 Spano awards only ; while that is the most for any vehicle in the game, the 2015 Spano does not award any other useful rewards.
Being an Elite Car, the 2015 GTA Spano is not capable of being fully utilized for farming in its Mastery Challenge 15 (set in Ipanema Showdown and a Flawless race), something which the aforementioned McLaren 675LT, GT by CITROEN, and McLaren MP4-31 are capable of (with Dubai Reverse, The London Eye, and Dubai respectively as the Mastery Challenge 15 tracks for the latter three cars).
Tune-ups cost and takes 2h 30 min to finish. The Sixth Anniversary Update removed the car's Elite status.
====Alternate procuring methods====
With a short-lived glitch, the 2015 GTA Spano could be obtained more easily outside of the VIP System, but was priced at . This has since been patched with the 2015 GTA Spano no longer viewable in the garage or selectable for races.
Certain YouTubers that played the game and were promoted as the "faces" of the game, such as NEKON, did receive the car for free as a gift from Gameloft, regardless of their VIP level.
