The Remington is a two-door lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The Remington is depicted as a 1970s two-door coupe, modified into a lowrider; accordingly, some Remingtons come equipped with hydraulics. The Remington generally resembles a 1977 or 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe (as identified by the grille and chrome), but with unhidden headlamps, and a baroque stylized rear.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
Performance wise, the vehicle may be described as average. With a rear wheel drive, very low ground clearance and moderately powerful engine, the Remington has an average-to-good top speed, but is susceptible to tailspins when cornering; it is best suited for urban travel, and not to be raced off road. It can sustain quite an impressive amount of damage, and slow collisions do not seem to damage the frame too much.
A flame-proof Remington can be found during the mission "High Stakes, Low-Rider" for Cesar Vialpando.
