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.

GTA IV Version

The Comet also appears in GTA IV in a hardtop coupe form, instead of its usual targa-top configuration. Here, it bears the logo of its manufacturer, Pfister. It retains its Porsche-like silhouette, this time resembling a Porsche 911 Turbo, specifically in its all-wheel-drive system, which greatly improves handling. The rear end, however, does not resemble a Porsche 911, 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 retaining the rear-engine design. The new Comet is very rarely encountered, and there is only one chance to own it (when Brucie Kibbutz gives Niko Bellic the car).
