One of three Hotring Racer variants in GTA San Andreas.

The Hotring Racer is an unlockable race car featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Description

Overview

The Hotring Racer is a fairly fast vehicle, and is used in the Stadium challenges in both GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. It can be obtained in GTA Vice City by completing the Sunshine Autos import missions, and in GTA San Andreas it is unlocked by beating the Stadium challenge. The Hotring Racer is the second fastest vehicle in GTA San Andreas. Each variant of the Hotring Racer features well known businesses as sponsors that appear in Vice City, Liberty City and San Andreas.

Design and variants

There are three variants of the Hotring Racer, however, they all perform exactly the same. They all resemble cars from the '80s, presumably based on a NASCAR stock cars: The first variant (internally named "hotring") vaguely resembles a Ford Taurus, the second (internally named "hotrina") is a Chevrolet Camaro, the third (internally named "hotrinb") has design aspects from a Chevrolet Monte Carlo (rear side window) and an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (the grille). The "hotring" in GTA Vice City noticeably lacks the roll cages and netting of the "hotrina" and "hotrinb", an inconsistency rectified for the GTA San Andreas rendition.

Under normal circumstances, the "hotring" is the only version of the Hotring Racer available for the player to drive (during Hotring races and at Sunshine Autos), while the "hotrina" and "hotrinb" are only available via cheats or mods, such as the use of a garage editor or trainers.
