The Karin Sultan Classic is a four-door sports sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of The Diamond Casino Heist update, released on January 16, 2020, during the Sultan Classic Week event.
Description[]
The Sultan Classic was initially featured as a mission-only vehicle in the "Getaway Vehicles" preparation and later used as a possible getaway vehicle in the Casino Heist. However, as of the Sultan Classic Week event, it became available for purchase.
Influence[]
The Sultan Classic acts as a classic predecessor of the original Sultan and, at the same time, an HD Universe equivalent to its 3D Universe rendition. It is primarily based on the Subaru Impreza GC8, with major influence from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V, seen primarily in the front fascia. The front bumper somewhat resembles the one found on the Evolution I and II, although with smaller side vents and with additional fog lights. The tail light layout is similar to the Peugeot 405.
Liveries[]
- The "Redwood Racing" and "Karin Performance" liveries appear to be similar to two liveries from the Sultan RS that go by the same names.
- The "Karin Performance" livery looks similar to the Subaru World Rally Team livery, used on Subaru Impreza rally cars.
- The "Redwood Racing" livery looks similar to Tommi Mäkinen's Malboro Mitsubishi Lancer.
- The "Backside Skateboards" livery seems to be inspired by the Massimo Checchin Subaru Impreza GC8.
- The "Impotent Rage" livery looks similar to Bert de Jong's Subaru Impreza WRC.
Design[]
The vehicle assumes a more traditional design compared to the original Sultan, but it keeps the four-door layout and sporty appearance from its successor. The front bumper of the car features a rectangular mesh intake spanning about half the car's width and a central number plate mounted in front of it, while the outer sections have smaller intakes with unusable circular fog lamps. On the upper area, the car has a trapezium-shaped grille bearing the manufacturer logo on the centre, followed by silver/chrome housings with rectangular headlamps and small amber indicators. The bonnet is relatively simple, featuring two elevated lines starting from each side of the grille, slightly curving outwards as they approach the windscreen. The same also opens to reveal the engine bay and a strut brace.
On the sides, the car has concave shapes above the side skirts, as well as thin ridges passing through the doors, painted door handles, and rectangular marker lamps on the front fenders, near the front doors. The cabin area makes use of frameless doors with black fittings around the windows and painted mirror wings near the A-pillars, along with black lines separating the roof panel from the rest of the car.
On the rear, the car has a simple boot lid with silver lettering on each side and a spoiler mounted on top, while the outer sections have rectangular tail lamps with slight transparency, each one consisting of upper red lamps, lower white lamps and outer amber indicators. The bumper has ridged detail on the upper side and a dedicated section on the centre intended for the number plate, while a single titanium exhaust can be seen on the driver side, below the bumper. Its interior is the same used primarily on the Sultan, but featuring the Karin logo on the horn cap.
The vehicle's bodywork, engine cover and interior stitching are painted in a primary colour, while the mirror wings are painted in secondary. The stock wheels are identical to the "Apex" tuner wheels seen in Los Santos Customs, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance[]
Acceleration and top speed are very good like any sports sedan car, but in terms of top speed, it is outclassed by most high end sports cars in the game, especially the Pariah, the Itali GTO and the Banshee 900R. Lowering the suspension makes the car prone to wheelspin, subsequently making it hard to control. Being an AWD car, it can do well in off-roading if the suspension is not upgraded.
The Sultan Classic is powered by a 6-cylinder, twin-cam engine fitted with twin turbochargers, which is stated to be a 3.5L engine. This engine is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox and powers all four wheels with equal torque distribution. Its engine sound is similar to that of the Sultan RS, with a slightly different pitch. A turbocharger sound is present by default, which become more noticeable with the "Turbo" upgrade.

Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
The Diamond Casino Heist[]
- The Diamond Casino Heist – Should the player employ Eddie Toh as the driver, he may request the player to steal two Sultan Classics as getaway vehicles.

- Exotic Exports – This is one of the hundred possible cars that can be requested by Brucie Kibbutz for delivery.
Events[]

Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Sultan Classic uses the "Dance" group which can play:
- FlyLo FM
- Soulwax FM
- Los Santos Underground Radio (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
- Music Locker Radio (Enhanced Editions only)
- Media Player (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
Oversights[]
- The last two exhaust options appear to be named incorrectly and reuse the names from two previous exhaust modifications; they are actually carbon exhaust tubes, available in single and dual setups.
- The upper inner portions of the headlights do not light up when activated. It may be either a minor texture issue or an intended feature to give the car a more aggressive styling.
- The rear-right passenger window is unable to break nor can be shot through. When blowing up the vehicle, the player will be able to see said window still holding up and having burn-marks.
Trivia[]
- The description of the Sultan Classic mentions the obsolescence of the HD Universe Sultan, which first came out in Grand Theft Auto IV.
