The '''Blade''' refers to two different types of vehicles under the same name. The Blade was first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] as a two-door open top lowrider. The Blade name is used again for one of three new speedboats introduced in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].

== Description ==

=== GTA San Andreas (as a car) ===

The Blade may be found on any Mexican gang's turf, and is driven by said gang members, especially the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. It can occasionally be seen driven by non-gang affiliated civilians. If the car is equipped with hydraulics, it can be used in lowrider competitions. Being a lowrider, its exterior and interior can be modified at [[Loco Low Co.]].

Line 16:

While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at Loco Low Co. to feature a hard top. A convertible top option is also available but the roof is constantly depicted retracted.

==== Performance ====

Acceleration and speed are quite impressive, and the brakes and slick handling serve the vehicle well. Although cornering is also excellent, the one major drawback of the Blade is its major oversteer, which makes e-braking turns absolutely futile, and driving at high speeds a challenge due to the potential loss of control at the slightest disturbance. The Blade is capable of withstanding significant impact damage due to its strong frame and overall construction; it does not fare as well against explosive damage, however.

The Blade is similar in style to [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s rendition of the [[Tropic]], but features a rear spoiler that sweeps back instead of forward, much like the [[Squalo]]. It is the fastest of the three speedboats introduced in the episode.
