A Primo in GTA: San Andreas.

A Primo in GTA IV.

The Primo is a four door car available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.

GTA San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas the Primo is one of the better sedans available in the game. It resembles a 1987-1990 Toyota Camry to some extent and is one of the most dependable vehicles in the game. It has good handling, fair acceleration and a decent top speed, so its an ideal choice for doing drive-bys against enemy gangs. It can be found mostly anywhere in the State of San Andreas.

GTA IV

The Albany Primo is a four-door vehicle, influenced heavily by the 1987–1993 Cadillac Allante and 1989-1996 Buick Century. The Primo is most likely powered by a mid-range V6, which gives it a satisfying top speed; while keeping acceleration acceptable. The Primo's underpinning is it's body roll and small, weak brakes, leading this vehicle to be better suited towards missions where a getaway vehicle is not required, friend "hangouts" and city driving.

There are two different styles of Primo. There is a standard middle-of-the-road sedan, and there is also one with a special "Supercharged V8" badge on its decklid. The supercharged Primo is lowered with added ground effects and a spoiler. It always comes in maroon, and is the vehicle of choice for members of the Spanish Lords (though it can be repainted at a Pay 'n' Spray in the standard Primo colors). Despite the "Supercharged V8" badge, it has the same performance as the regular Primo, and sounds just like the regular Primo - nothing like a V8, which leads us to believe that the effects are purely cosmetic. A black version without body kits but with gold rims and grill can be spotted, however it's rare for the player to encounter it. The car is also available in one-tone or two-tone body colors.

After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Primo fetching $1,800.

-In GTA IV, the Primo is another vehicle from manufacturer "[[Albany]]", the maker of the [[Esperanto]] which is what [[Roman's Taxi]] is based on. The Primo is clearly based on 1987–1993 Cadillac Allante but with a four door design and the roof seems like its of another car (probably a 1989-1996 Buick Century).
