The second variant of the Hotring Racer is a race car featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
The Hotring Racer is evidently a Stock car racing vehicle, distinguished by the rather unique design and paint schemes with fictional business ads.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, they are used in the Hotring side mission, while in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, they are used in the 8-Track side mission.
In The Definitive Edition of GTA Vice City, the "hotrinb" variant shares the same appearance with the "hotrina", bar the sponsors.
The vehicle is only available using cheats or glitching it out of the stadium.
Influence[]
The vehicle seems to be derived from the NASCAR variant of the sixth generation Pontiac Grand Prix, as evidenced by its side profile and rear quarter. The front fascia appears to be inspired by the Trans-Am Championship-modified version of the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
Design[]
The tail lights were changed between GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. In Vice City the car features small lights at the corners of the boot, while in San Andreas they are more conventional rectangle-shaped lights. The vehicle features a roll cage and netting like the "hotrinb" variant.
