Comet: Difference between revisions

The Comet from GTA Vice City to GTA Vice City Stories is based on the [[:wp:Porsche 911|Porsche 911]]; it best resembles the 911 Carrera Cabriolet from 1976 or the early 1980s, however, like newer 911 models, it has an all-wheel-drive configuration. The car features a [[:wp:targa top|targa top]] similar to the Targa 911s; however, the [[:wp:fastback|fastback]] profile the Comet sported in GTA Vice City was dropped in favor of a backwards-slanted standalone C-pillar until GTA IV. Similarly, the Comet in the Xbox version of GTA Vice City also it shares the same rear design as the Comet in GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories. The Comet between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories is also front-engined, unlike the real Porsche 911, which is famously rear-engined; this led to speculation that the Comet was inspired by a [[:wp:Nissan S30|Datsun 240Z]], as did the inset headlamps, which is not seen on any Porsche model. The headlamps may also have been inspired by the [[:wp:Alfa Romeo Spider|1966-1969 Alfa Romeo Spider]].
