The GTA: SA rendition of the Comet

The Comet is a sports car that first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, to be later featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the Porsche 911. The Comet is all-wheel-drive like many of the newer models, yet looks most like a 911 Cabriolet from 1976 or the early '80s, but the fastback has been cut off.

Acceleration, speed, braking, and handling are all among the best in the game. In games prior to GTA IV, the Comet has the added advantage of being similar to a top-down convertible, which enables the player to jump into the driver's seat from the left side of the vehicle without opening the door, facilitating a more rapid take-off.

The older renditions of the Comet are front-engined, unlike the real Porsche 911, which is famously rear-engined.

In GTA Vice City, the easiest place to find a Comet is in front of the Leaf Links Country Club.

GTA IV Version

The Comet also appears in GTA IV in a hardtop coupe form, instead of its usual targa-top configuration. It retains its Porsche-like silhouette, this time a Porsche 911 Turbo mainly because of its all wheel drive system which greatly improves handling. In this game, it bears the logo of its manufacturer, Pfister. The new Comet is very rare and very hard to find. The rear end does not resemble a Porsche 911, however; rather taking on the looks of a Maserati Coupe. Unlike previous versions, the GTA IV rendition stays faithful to its basis on a Porsche 911 by having its engine in the back; when the hood at the front is removed by damage, it appears to be only a trunk.
