Not to be confused with a similar vehicle in the 3D Universe, the Hotring Racer with a similar design and purpose.
The Declasse Hotring Sabre is a stock car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The car's design is a mix of the first generation Chevrolet Lumina, and the 5th generation Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, both of which were used as NASCAR stock cars at the time. Unlike stock cars. The Hotring Sabre has opening doors, despite not having any door handles.
The Hotring Sabre is distinguished by its simplistic bodywork, where the front end is dominated by the shapes forming the front bumper and the grilles on it. The car simply lacks headlights and instead, there are sectioned panels located on either side of the main grille. The sides feature a linear shape, starting with small curves on the front section and going on a straight line towards the rear end, featuring thin ridges on the doors. The rear end is basically a plain section with shapes forming the rear bumper and a bolted-on lip spoiler on it. A fuel cap is visible on the driver side. And being a racing car, it does not have a license plate.
The underside denotes the body-on-frame construction, exposing the car's bodywork and the mouldings it has for the wheels, the engine, the driveshaft, the axles and the fuel tank. It also exposes steel tube frames on the front and the engine bay.
The cabin is very simplistic and features bolted-on windows, along with rally nets on either side (unlike its real-life counterpart, which does not have a passenger side window net). The interior is basically composed of various elements derived from race-based vehicles, having paddle shifters on the steering wheel and numerous switches on the dashboard, as well as a roll cage.
The bodywork is painted with the primary color, while the roll cage is painted with the secondary color.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Hotring Sabre is a fast car in the Sports Class, with an extremely high top speed and good stability. However, it is prone to lose control when hit, as the handling is somewhat sluggish and the turning radius is not very good. In addition, it can spin-out easily if driving through bumps, especially when turning. Furthermore, it has relatively poor acceleration compared to other sports cars.
The vehicle is powered by a single-cam V8 and coupled to a 4-speed gearbox, in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
