A Primo in GTA: San Andreas.

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 most likely from a 90s/80s GM A-body, like the 1989-1996 Buick Century. The top of the trunk lid seems loosely inspired by 1992-2004 Cadillac Sevilles, this also may be the source for the bulkier appearance. an 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 its 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. The car is also available in one-tone or two-tone body colors (which are probably inspired from Cadillac Sevilles, more likely the 1986-1991 models).

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