As San Andreas is set in 1992, the base models are anachronistic by a year, but this could explain its high price and rarity. | As San Andreas is set in 1992, the base models are anachronistic by a year, but this could explain its high price and rarity. | ||

Although the side vents appear to be from a 2005 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged, GTA IV's Super GT seems to be powered by a turbocharged 6 cylinder, or possibly a high pitched turbo/super charged V8 (similar to the Maserati GranTurismo, which also has a V8), as it shares an engine tone with the [[Comet]] and [[Infernus]]. This is contrary to both the Aston Martin DB9 and DBS, which are both powered by V12 engines. The Super GT lacks an exterior radio antenna. | ||
The Super GT is also available with differing hood designs, either featuring a relatively smooth hood, or one with a low U-shaped ridge. The interior features black leather and carpeting with bucket sports seats. The center console is finished in aluminum trim and features an analog timepiece. The Super GT also features a gated 5-speed shifter. | The Super GT is also available with differing hood designs, either featuring a relatively smooth hood, or one with a low U-shaped ridge.

The Super GT has a top notch speed and acceleration, but its downside is that even when driving in low speeds, turning can cause wild fishtailing, even more so when driving in higher speeds. Super GT's durability isn't that good either. Therefore, the player should use caution while driving the car and turn slow and gently. Stepping off the gas will also help. If the back starts sliding out of control, let off the gas and slightly turn to the opposite direction. | The Super GT has a top notch speed and acceleration, but its downside is that even when driving in low speeds, turning can cause wild fishtailing, even more so when driving in higher speeds.

In GTA IV, the Super GT is the | In GTA IV, the Super GT is among one of the fastest cars in the game with a top speed is 211 mph (340 km/h), and the acceleration and speed of the Super GT are superior to many other cars in the game. The distinct sound of a turbocharger can be heard at higher RPMs, which separates it from the other supercars. The Super GT is an excellent choice for its speed and for its brakes, which are powerful and don't lock up very easily. Also, because of its high horsepower to torque ratio, the car can easily be slid into a drift by a single tap of the E-Brake (at moderate enough speeds); making the Super GT a great choice for drifting. | ||
