Elegy

The Elegy is a 2-door sports car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, manufactured by Annis.

Design
The Elegy is based loosely on the eighth generation (R32) Nissan Skyline, which was only sold officially in Japan and Australia, and is rarely ever seen in the US market. It actually seems to be an amalgmation of various Skylines, taking its squarish front mostly from the R30 Skyline, and its basic shape from the R32. The Elegy is rear-wheel drive, unlike the well known Skyline GT-R, which is all-wheel drive, but the Elegy's understated styling, closed grille, and lack of any large wing means it's likely more closely related to such rear-wheel-drive Skylines as the GTS-t.

Performance
Acceleration, speed, and handling are very impressive, but has a huge amount of torque, causing burnouts, fishtailing and oversteer as the engine tends to overpower the drivetrain, threatening to spin it out if attempting to turn in corners. This also makes the car virtually unmanageable at high speeds after a back tire has been shot out, making it extremely difficult to maintain control. Because of the massive power, the Elegy spins out when you drift the car. The Elegy has a short wheelbase and strong body, so it is capable of withstanding a good deal of damage. With a little practice, the Elegy can be used as a drift car without the use of handling mods.

The Elegy's engine is a twin-turbo 3.8 liter V6. Horsepower is at least 320 hp.
