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 but has a four door sedan design from a 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. Due to it's sturdy build, the Primo is able to take a few direct frontal hits without stalling or setting alight.

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, grille and trim 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.
