For the mission in the first Grand Theft Auto, see Heist Almighty - Penetrator.
The Penetrator is a sports car featured in the first Grand Theft Auto and a two-door super car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Import/Export update. It is manufactured by Ocelot in the HD Universe.
Design
Grand Theft Auto
The Penetrator is a sports car that appears in two versions. The Liberty City variant is simply the Porka with its roof up, while the San Andreas/Vice City variant is based on a Porsche 911.
Grand Theft Auto Online
Template:Next-Gen The vehicle appears to be heavily based on the Jaguar XJ220, seen in the overall curvature of the beltline and rear window design, as well as appearing to feature the rear lights from the Lamborghini Diablo VT and a rear grille similar to the one found in the Bugatti EB 110. The front bumper appears to be based on the one found in the Chevrolet Corvette Indy concept car. Unlike its real-life counterpart, the Penetrator does not feature flip-down headlights. Due to this, the front fascia seems to be based on the Jaguar XJ220S TWR, a track tuned version of the XJ220.
The Penetrator is depicted as a sports car with a long body and a seemingly rounded profile, featuring a front bumper with a lower lip/extender and mesh intakes above it, the central one being much wider than the side ones. The upper area features a set of circular headlamps behind glass casings, as well as a front boot that hinges from the front and has a concave profile.
On the sides, small intakes lead to the engine bay, along with skirts that have a more concave profile as they approach to the rear wheels. On the greenhouse area, black trims surround the windows, with the rear-quarter ones separated by black B-pillars. The rear window's panel is not fully connected to the roof, leaving a small gap between them. It is tilted about 5 degrees throughout the entirety of the rear window frame. A set of mirror wings extend to the ouer sides of the car, having a black support base over the front fenders and near the A-pillars.
The rear of the car consists of a black vented panel on the centre and circular tail lamps on the edges, the outer ones split in half for the outer turn signals and the inner reverse lights. The rear bumper/diffuser holds the rounded exhaust tips on the edges and large black splitters on the centre, along with a license plate. By default, it features a small spoiler.
The interior of the car reuses the same dials and textures from cars like the Tailgater and the Schafter, obviously altered to fit into the two-door layou.
The car is only painted in a primary colour, which also affects the interior stitching. The wheels have a unique rim design, consisting of three wide spokes over a plain centre and turbine-shaped surrounding, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Penetrator has a much higher speed than other supercars in-game, making it a much worthy competitor for races with its all-around handling and excellent speed and acceleration. Despite the long profile, the car has relatively good maneuverability, possibly due to the position of the front wheels and the steering range. Care should be taken, however, as it appears to have some oversteer when entering corners quickly and can sometimes lead to it powersliding. This happens often if performing a 90-degree turn at high speeds and turning sharply.
The Penetrator is powered by a single cam V12 engine equipped with 12 throttle bodies, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a mid-engine, all wheel drive layout (30% front, 70% rear distribution). The engine sound is shared with cars like the Bifta and the Kuruma.
