The Uranus in GTA San Andreas is a car that is frequently found in the [[San Fierro]] area, and is an excellent car to use for street racing. It is a car that takes well, and is perfectly adapted to the streets of San Fierro, and has a balanced out ride, giving the player the ability to feel in better control of what he/she is doing. The Uranus is based off the 1990/1991 [[wp:Chrysler D platform|Chrysler BD platform vehicles]]: the [[wp:Mitsubishi Eclipse|Mitsubishi Eclipse]], [[wp:Eagle Talon|Eagle Talon]], and [[wp:Plymouth Laser|Plymouth Laser]]; the taillights are based off the 1992-1994 Eagle Talon. | The Uranus in GTA San Andreas is a car that is frequently found in the [[San Fierro]] area, and is an excellent car to use for street racing.

The Uranus is redesigned for GTA IV, having been branded with a [[Vapid]] badge. This time, the car resembles a 1983-1986 [[wp:Ford Mustang (third generation)|Fox body Mustang]] (most likely a 1985/1986 because of the grille), with the front also bearing some similarities to a [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]], however the Uranus is front-wheel drive. The taillights look quite reminiscent of 1989-1994 [[wp:Pontiac Sunbird|Pontiac Sunbirds]]. | The Uranus is redesigned for GTA IV, having been branded with a [[Vapid]] badge.

A modified Uranus also driven by members of the [[Russian Mafia]] appears in [[Hove Beach]] with a custom bodykit including: rear window louvers, a "whale-tail" spoiler which pays homage to the spoiler on the [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]] (while emulating some Fox body Mustang spoilers), and a huge decal on the windshield which reads "LOZSPEED" (pronounced as "lose speed", obviously taking a hit at "ricers"); "LOZSPEED" is also a possible parody of Neuspeed, and could be referring to the "lose speed" and "new speed", which the names do sound when pronounced. The modified version lacks any enhanced performance over its stock counterpart. As a further hat tip to the Sierra RS Cosworth, the modified Uranus in GTA IV features a pink and grey [[wp:Burberry|Burberry-patterned]] baseball hat on the rear parcel ledge, paying homage to [[wp:Chav|"chavs"]]. | A modified Uranus also driven by members of the [[Russian Mafia]] appears in [[Hove Beach]] with a custom bodykit including: rear window louvers, a "whale-tail" spoiler which pays homage to the spoiler on the [[wp:Ford Sierra RS Cosworth|Ford Sierra RS Cosworth]] (while emulating some Fox body Mustang spoilers), and a huge decal on the windshield which reads "LOZSPEED" (pronounced as "lose speed", obviously taking a hit at "ricers"); "LOZSPEED" is also a possible parody of Neuspeed, and could be referring to the "lose speed" and "new speed", which the names do sound when pronounced.

GTA San Andreas' Uranus is regarded as a average sports car, with above average acceleration and top speed, and very stable cornering and grip, coupled with excellent braking. However, given the vehicle's stiff suspensions, considerably high ground clearance, a tall body construction and shorter [[wp:axle track|axle tracks]], the vehicle's risk of tipping over on bumpy terrain is higher than most cars of its class. The Uranus is rear wheel drive, despite the models it is based on being front wheel drive, and a transversely mounted engine ( | GTA San Andreas' Uranus is regarded as a average sports car, with above average acceleration and top speed, and very stable cornering and grip, coupled with excellent braking.
