Issi Classic

"Sure, you could afford the latest Ocelot, or a vintage Enus - but you're not a show-off. You're just a slightly quirky, totally down-to-earth person looking for a way to tell everyone how slightly quirky and totally down-to-earth you are. Well, look no further, because for the last half-century the Issi Classic has been the closest thing on four wheels to screaming "I've got nothing to prove to anyone" in the face of every stranger you meet."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Weeny Issi Classic is a compact car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, released on April 17th, 2018, during The Vespucci Job Week event.

The Issi Classic is a caricature of the original BMC Mini, appearing closest to the, if accounting for detailing such as the door hinges and tail lamps. The front facade seems to be inspired by the as seen in its square grille and square indicators, the grille seeming to be a nod to the hexagonal design in updated versions of the Mini. The chrome design in its stock grille looks similar to the grille pattern found on the 1974 Mini Clubman SRV4.

The vehicle's interior is a unique model resembling the design seen in the Mk. 7 Mini Cooper, featuring a small radio and a Meinmacht ICE screen. It is lined with wood trim similar to the Rapid GT Classic and GT500, as well as classic dials and racing needles. Other details in the interior include window-winders, influenced from Mk III-onward Mini models, and a classic 5-speed gear lever stick (despite the vehicle having only 4 gears)

The car features a European-style front license plate similar in style to the Fagaloa and Pigalle. This cannot be modified, however the California-style rear one can. Both plates will display the same text.

When the suspension is upgraded, all four wheels' camber will increase.

As expected from a small, compact car, the vehicle is a very nimble, agile vehicle. Its "biggest" feature being its small size, allows it to pass through tight spaces, including interiors, without trouble, similar in fashion to the Panto. As a result of its size, its also one of the lightest four-wheeled vehicles in the entire game, allowing it to pickup speed very quickly.

In terms of acceleration, the vehicle dominates most of the vehicles within the Compacts class, surpassing even the standard Issi, partially due to its lighter weight, but also down to a much faster shifting speed. On the other hand, its lack of a 5th gear prevents it from reaching its full potential, despite having a very high revving engine in comparison to the Issi, resulting in a relatively low top speed for its class.

The shortened wheelbase and small wheels give the vehicle very nippy handling and allow it to corner at an instant, and the front-engine, front-wheel drive configuration appears to give this vehicle excellent traction on the road, though turning a corner too aggressively while result the car to spin out very easily. Off-road wise, there isn't enough traction to tackle steep, muddy hills. The narrow profile of its wheels also prove useful in off-road conditions, however the lack of deep, off-road tread can often pose a problem to the driver.

The Issi Classic appears to be powered by a very high-revving single-cam, transversely laid inline-4 with a mounted air filter and functioning timing belt. Like the real-life Mini, the engine is mounted in a front-engine, front-wheel drive configuration, coupled up to a 4-speed gearbox.

Its engine sound appears to be shared with the Stinger, Stinger GT and 190z, however an extra exhaust note gives the engine an aggressive tone, similar in tone to the GT500. Interestingly, the vehicle appears to over-rev between shifting, causing the vehicle to pause, in a similar manner to the Duneloader. This issue is apparent in most of the vehicles added in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Issi Classic can be modified with a huge array of bumper, skirt, hood, exhaust and grille modifications. It also features 10 liveries, including a checkered flag stripe, classic Weeny stripes, sponsored liveries, and a rustic paint job.
