Turismo

The Turismo is a two-door sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. It is manufactured by Grotti in the HD Universe.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Turismo in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is mostly based on the Ferrari F40, with a modified spoiler and sloped, square tailights. The spoiler bears a striking resemblance to the one seen on the 1971 Dodge Daytona prototype, albeit shorter and more rounded. The front fascia resembles the Ferrari F512M and the front lights look very close to those of the Ferrari F40, albeit the Turismo has one set of front lights, meanwhile the F40 has two.

This rendition of the Turismo is unique for having one exhaust pipe in the middle and is also comparable to the Super GT.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Turismo in Grand Theft Auto IV is based heavily on the Ferrari 360, and to a lesser extent, the Ferrari F430. The front fascia also heavily resembles the Mclaren MP4-12C, although the resemblance is coincidental. The rear fascia however, consists of a sleek taillight-radiator cluster, with four-sided taillights, as opposed to the 360's circular lights. The rims, which resemble three-piece OZ Racing Superleggera rims, are installed over cross-drilled brake rotors. The Turismo also lacks an external rod antenna.

The Turismo's interior features two bucket sport seats and full leather appointments finished in classic tan. The car also features a fully-carpeted boot in front of the cabin with ample space for luggage, which is revealed after significantly damaging the front of the car.

The Turismo will appear either with flat slatted grilles or with scooped intakes, both located on the rear fenders. On the Auto Eroticar website a unique Turismo with a spoiler is shown.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The Turismo in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars retains the GTA IV look, with a few cues from the Corvette C6. A billboard at the Auto Merchant further supports the fact of the Turismo resembling the GTA IV rendition. The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition also bears a resemblance to the Coquette, which is especially noticable in the PSP & iPad versions.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Turismo is one of the fastest and best handling cars in the game, second only to the Infernus. The handling has a little bit understeer but still acceptable. Power distribution has a balance between smooth and rough, making it fun to drive while still being controllable. The Turismo is also suitable for off-roading due to its all wheel drivetrain.

The engine appears to be equipped with three carburetors/throttle bodies on top, which is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a rear/mid engine, all wheel drive layout.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Handling of the car is arguably the best of all cars in IV, due to the Turismo's good brakes and near-perfect weight distribution. The car is almost never susceptible to burnouts during cornering due to excess torque, owing to its weight distribution and rear-wheel drive drivetrain. Thanks to its mid engine layout, the car can turn corners sharply. It is one of the easiest supercars to drive in the game. The mid engine layout also means that it is shielded from frontal impacts and mildly shielded from rear impacts making it a very durable car. Overall, due to its durability, speed and handling, it is well suited for all purposes. Just keep in mind that it does not do a good job of absorbing bullets, but is still shielded from the rear.

According to Autoeroticar.com, the Turismo's engine in GTA IV is a high-revving 4.0L Quad Cam V8 fitted to 5-speed manual transmission. Its engine model is roughly similar to that of the Infernus of the same game, with "GROTTI" printed on the cam covers. True to the webiste statement, it is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a rear engine, rear wheel drive layout.

It is the second fastest car in the game according to the game files, it has a maximum speed of 213 mph (344 km/h), it's the second fastest car in the game being slightly faster than the Coquette but slower than the Comet.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The Turismo still performs very well like in GTA IV, still being an easy car to drive. The vehicle has good brakes and near-perfect weight distribution. The car is almost never susceptible to burnouts during cornering due to excess torque, owing to its weight distribution and rear-wheel drive drivetrain. The car can turn corners sharply and the mid engine layout also means that it is shielded from frontal impacts and mildly shielded from rear impacts making it a very durable car.

As in GTA IV, the Turismo in Chinatown Wars still has low resistance at gunfire.
