Surge

The Cheval Surge is a four-door electric compact sedan in Grand Theft Auto V.

Design
This car appears to be heavily influenced by the Chevrolet/Holden Volt hybrid sedan. The front end of this car features a dominant chrome-finished central grille formation, which increases in width with height along the front. There is a blue light around both grille formations that is on once the car has been turned on. At the bottom of the formation there is a shallow, central vent which spans half the bumper width. Either side of this vent there are equally shallow vents, whose inner edges are parallel to the outer edge of the central formation. The lower edges of the headlamp units coincide with the lower edge of the main grille. The upper edge of the headlamp units coincides with the top edge of the central formation. The curves that form the edges for the bonnet/ hood elevation run from a top corner of the formation to its corresponding corner of the windscreen. The front fascia bears a slight resemblance to that of the Honda Insight.

Performance
The Surge has a front wheel drive drivetrain to do a burnout. It has a decent top speed, thanks to the powerful electric motor in each front wheels. The motor directly drives the wheels, since it has no transmission. This allows the Surge to accelerate rather quickly.

GTA V
