The Bravura is a two-door coupe in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The overall structure has a strong resemblance to the third generation Chrysler Lebaron Coupe, but with a steeper roofline that is more reminiscent of a Dodge Spirit. The front of the Bravura is identical to a 1988–1993 Saab 9000 but some details like the wide-looking side profile are different and look much like an 1980s GM N platform coupe vehicle like the 1985-1991 Pontiac Grand Am. The slope of the C-pillar, and general shape of the back end also bear a fair bit of resemblance to the 1989-95 Dodge Spirit and Plymouth Acclaim. The overall shape is mostly similar to that of a 1989–1997 Mercury Cougar but the car is smaller and wider.
Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Acceleration is average due to a small engine being matched to a front-wheel drivetrain, but pulling a small curb weight. What is truly disappointing about this car, though, is the significant lack of speed that would be expected from the light frame. Handling is average, but the car exhibits understeer. Brakes tend on the weak side, but are effective due to the light chassis and inability to reach very high speeds. Also due to its light weight, every time it changes gear the car moves up and down violently.
