Newsvan

The Newsvan is, as self explained, a news van in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design
The Newsvan is designed as a news van for SAN News (VCN in Xbox and Xbox 360 versions), with a satellite dish on the roof, and its rear compartment containing crudely rendered broadcasting equipment as well as a chair. It has no special function (despite having a satellite dish), and is not important to any missions. The overall appearance of the van comes from a Burrito but is longer, has a side door, and a slightly different side design and front design.

Performance
The performance of the Newsvan is moderate-to-excellent, with a moderate acceleration with good torque, a good top speed, good hill climbing capabilities, and good durability. Due to its height, however, it has a tendency to flip if driven over rough terrains. The Newsvan's braking is very good.

White Newsvan


In the mission Cut Throat Business, there is a chance to get a Newsvan with a unique white color - the player can fail the mission by either killing Madd Dogg before the cutscene begins which initiates the chase with OG Loc, or failing to chase OG Loc. Players can then gain access to the Newsvan which remains parked in the same location.

Trivia

 * The default radio station in the Newsvan is West Coast Talk Radio.
 * In the beta release, Newsvans were to report on a crime a couple minutes after it was committed (i.e. murder or robbery)
 * Strangely, Newsvan was supposed for news anchor and crews of SAN News but it is driven by civilian.

Locations

 * Found atop Missionary Hill next to the building with the Missionary Hill Radio Tower.
 * Sometimes found in the parking lot of the Los Santos International Airport.
 * Can also be seen driving when the protagonist drives one.
