A Huntley Sport in GTA IV.

The Huntley Sport is an SUV in GTA IV that is an adaption of the Huntley. Like the Huntley, the Huntley Sport is based on the Range Rover, however this time the 2006-present Sport model, although it is slightly boxier. It is manufactured by Vapid. The SUV is one of the cars Stevie requests through his text messages; it's parked outside a police station at Bohan.

Performance

The Huntley Sport, powered by a 4.8L Supercharged V8 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in 50% Front/50% Rear AWD, is perhaps one of the fastest SUVs in GTA IV. Acceleration is rated as very good, propelling the Huntley Sport to it's brisk top speed in a matter of seconds. Handling is better than expected, though not perfect. The vehicle has a tendency to oversteer dramatically in turns, though can corner at speed effectively. The suspension is rather soft, designed to compensate for off-roading rather than racing. Braking is average, and ABS is standard on the Huntley Sport. Crash deformation is acceptable, but not as good as it's closest competitor. Engine build quality is also acceptable, but cannot withstand many hits/bullets before failing.

Off-road, the Huntley Sport performs better than its low ground clearance and low profile tires suggest. The four-wheel-drive system and supercharged V8 make light work of steep sand hills, however the Huntley Sport tends to crash into the solid, low obstacles like rocks that other four-wheel-drives can drive over without issues.

Variants

Several uncommon color schemes for the Huntley Sport may be available in certain parts of the game:

  • A Huntley Sport with a yellow, black and green paint job, custom grille and side-mounted exhaust pipes is unlocked after completing all of Little Jacob's drug deliveries. This variant of the Huntley is also the Jamaican Posse's gang car, and can be seen driving around Willis. It is still called a "Huntley Sport" when entered.
  • After doing a boating trip with Brucie, an olive and yellow Huntley will be parked at the docks where you get out of the boat.
  • A black Huntley, painted with a thin red stripe down either side, can rarely be found driving around Liberty City.
  • A custom navy and sky blue Huntley is one of Stevie's car thefts. It is totally bespoke and will NOT spawn again once delivered.
