The Sultan is a four-door sports sedan appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The car also appears in the HD Universe, where it assumes the design of a mid-size saloon and is manufactured by Karin.
Influence[]
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Sultan is based on the 1990's GC Subaru Impreza WRX/1992-1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo I.
Paintjob 2 is a blue and yellow rally-like scheme similar to that of the Subaru World Rally Team's 1993-1996 Subaru Impreza GC.
Design[]
The Sultan is distinguished by its basic profile as with various sedans in the game, yet it has a sportier appearance, with a sports bumper having two square intakes, a bonnet scoop, custom skirts and twin exhausts. It also has 5-spoke rims with a pentagon-shaped centre.
Performance[]
The Sultan has a small, yet powerful turbocharged engine, and a four wheel drive drivetrain. Its performance is relatively strong in comparison with all of the sports coupés and super-cars in the game, whilst its grippy four wheel drive system makes it particularly controllable; it is less prone to spinning out than the rear wheel drive cars, making it a good car for Gymkhana or cross-country road trip. The Sultan is the fastest four-door car in the game.
Much like its real-life counterpart, the Sultan makes for an excellent offroad vehicle as well. Its low ground clearance can be an hinderance offroad, but this can be rectified by adding Hydraulics. The only drawback of the Sultan is its poor build quality. The Sultan's front or back can be deformed even in low speed collisions with other vehicles.
Players favor the Sultan for drive-by attacks, due to its four seat capacity and its ability to outrun rival gang or police vehicles, as it has supreme handling.
It weighs 1400 kg like some 2-door rivals.
Modifications[]
Being classified as a "tuner" car, the Sultan can only be modified at Wheel Arch Angels; and like all cars of its class, the range of body kits, rims and spoilers are the same, the only distinction being its three unique customized body paint schemes.
