The Elegy is a two-door sports car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

The Elegy is based on the Nissan Skyline R32, which was only officially sold in Japan as well as Australia. They were never sold in the USA, although several were imported and made "legal" by Motorex, which was only founded in 1999. It actually seems to be an amalgamation of various Skylines, taking its squarish front mostly from the R31 Skyline, and its basic shape from the R32. The vehicle's tail lights and rear fascia bear a close resemblance to those of the R34. The Elegy is rear-wheel drive, unlike the well known Nissan Skyline GT-R, which is all-wheel drive, but the Elegy's understated styling, closed grille, and lack of any large rear wing means it's likely to be more closely related to RWD Skylines such as the GTS-t, or the R34 GTT, as well as the US legal Skyline GT-Rs imported by Motorex which have been converted from AWD to RWD. The stock wheels resemble the R33 GT-R's stock wheels.  

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

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. Both the acceleration and top speed are top of the line.

The Elegy appears to have a fuel-injected, naturally aspirated inline engine, like its real life counterpart which uses a 6-cylinder inline engine, albeit turbocharged. The engine is, unusually, mounted transversely, even though the car is RWD. The vehicle also sports a 5-speed gearbox.

Trivia[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

  • In literature, Elegy is a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem. 
  • The Elegy is used by the San Fierro Triads as one of their gang cars, alongside the Sultan and the Stratum, which are also both tuners.
  • Due to the lower height of its driver's seat, CJ will kick the car's occupant when stealing the car.
  • The Skoiloine, a beta vehicle from GTA: LCS, is possibly based on the Elegy.
  • Its beta name was going to be Legend 566 but it changed to Elegy. There are 3 hidden paintjobs in the game files that are called: Legend1, Legend2 and Legend3. They can be inserted in the game by using an IMG editor that could open gta3.img and export the 3 hidden files to the computer and renaming them to Elegy1, Elegy2 and Elegy3 or rename them to Elegy4, Elegy5 and Elegy6 and export to the gta3.img file again, this option will keep all the paintjobs.
  • The Annis Elegy RH8, a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto V, is the Elegy's successor. It is based on the Nissan GT-R, which is a real-life successor to the GT-R R32, the car which the Elegy is based upon.
  • There is a texture glitch in both editions of the game when applying a roof vent. As with the Sultan, applying a roof vent adds additional brand logos on the car's front fenders and back window. However, they do not load properly on the Elegy and show as white rectangles instead.
