The Sabre, parked in Los Santos.

Similar to a 1970 Oldsmobile

Overview

The Sabre is a muscle car that has been in the Grand Theft Auto series since GTA Vice City. In Vice City, it is fairly widespread, being predominant on the main (west) island, while in San Andreas, it can be found in all 3 cities (mainly Downtown Los Santos), some towns, and on the highways connecting them. Being a 2 door makes it a bad choice for drive-bys or carrying an entourage.

Design

The Sabre closely resembles a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, except the Sabre has a larger trunk, and the front end isn't pointed, with the grille split, like on the Oldsmobile.

Performance

Acceleration and speed are very impressive. The Sabre's handling is arguably among the best in San Andreas, and the brakes are excellent. However, being the rear-drive muscle car it is, this vehicle's drivetrain is overpowered, leading to occasional burnout and fishtailing, and a general decline in performance in wet weather. Its frame is sturdy and can take a fair amount of damage, but its intense power and heavy construction mean the car is able to survive very few high-speed collisions.

Variations

The Sabre Turbo is a turbo-charged version of the Sabre vehicle. The Cholo Sabre is a variant used by the Cholos gang in GTA Vice City Stories.
