In GTA San Andreas, the Super GT is based on a 1993 [[wp:Mitsubishi 3000GT|Mitsubishi 3000GT]] with the back of a 1993 [[wp:Toyota Supra|Toyota Supra]]. The Super GT can be modified at [[TransFender]] garages. There are also two versions of this car; a hardtop and a targa top.

It is also one the most expensive cars to import in GTA San Andreas together with the [[Bullet]] and the [[Cheetah]], cashing in at [[Money|$]]84,000. However, the player is awarded $105,000 when he exports the car in mint condition.
As San Andreas is set in 1992, the base models are anachronistic by a year, but this could explain its high price and rarity.

In GTA IV, the Super GT (branded as a [[Dewbauchee]] car, although [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] radio chatter refers to it as a [[Pfister]]) is an amalgamation of two or three sports cars: the front and side profiles appear to share design cues from both a modern [[wp:Aston Martin DB9|Aston Martin DB9]] or an  Aston Martin DBS and a [[:wp:Maserati GranTurismo|Maserati GranTurismo]] , while the rear fascia resembles that of a [[:wp:Ferrari 612 Scaglietti|Ferrari 612]] or 550 Maranello. Although the side vents appear to be from a 2005 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged, GTA IV's Super GT seems to be powered by a turbocharged 6 cylinder, or possibly a high pitched turbo/super charged V8, as it shares an engine tone with the [[Comet]] and [[Infernus]]. The Super GT lacks an exterior radio antenna.

Acceleration and top speed are among the best in this game, but the handling is poor, especially at high speeds. The Super GT tends to fishtail wildly when using the E-brake around corners.
The Super GT has a top notch speed and acceleration, but its downside is that even when driving in low speeds, turning can cause wild fishtailing, even more so when driving in higher speeds. Super GT's durability isn't that good either. Therefore, the player should use caution while driving the car and turn slow and gently. Stepping off the gas will also help. If the back starts sliding out of control, let off the gas and slightly turn to the opposite direction.


===GTA IV===
===GTA IV===
In GTA IV, the Super GT is the fifth-fastest in the game with a top speed is 105 mph (170 km/h), and the acceleration and speed of the Super GT are superior to many other cars in the game. The distinct sound of a turbocharger can be heard at higher RPMs, which separates it from the other supercars. The Super GT is an excellent choice for its speed and for its brakes, which are powerful and don't lock up very easily. Also, because of its high horsepower to torque ratio, the car can easily be slid into a drift by a single tap of the E-Brake (at moderate enough speeds); making the Super GT a great choice for drifting.

The Super GT is a sports car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but it takes the form of a supercar in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Design

GTA San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas, the Super GT is based on a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT with the back of a 1993-2002 Toyota Supra. The Super GT can be modified at TransFender garages. There are also two versions of this car; a hardtop and a targa top.

As San Andreas is set in 1992, the base models are anachronistic by a year, but this could explain its high price and rarity.

GTA IV

A Super GT in GTA IV (Rear quarter view; engine).

In GTA IV, the Super GT (branded as a Dewbauchee car, although police radio chatter refers to it as a Pfister) is an amalgamation of two or three sports cars: the front and side profiles appear to share design cues from both a modern Aston Martin DB9 or an Aston Martin DBS and a Maserati GranTurismo , while the rear fascia resembles that of a Ferrari 612 or 550 Maranello. Although the side vents appear to be from a 2005 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged, GTA IV's Super GT seems to be powered by a turbocharged 6 cylinder, or possibly a high pitched turbo/super charged V8, as it shares an engine tone with the Comet and Infernus. The Super GT lacks an exterior radio antenna.

The Super GT is also available with differing hood designs, either featuring a relatively smooth hood, or one with a low U-shaped ridge. The interior features black leather and carpeting with bucket sports seats. The center console is finished in aluminum trim and features an analog timepiece. The Super GT also features a gated 5-speed shifter.

The F620 in The Ballad of Gay Tony shares several similarities to the Super GT.

Performance

GTA San Andreas

The Super GT has a top notch speed and acceleration, but its downside is that even when driving in low speeds, turning can cause wild fishtailing, even more so when driving in higher speeds. Super GT's durability isn't that good either. Therefore, the player should use caution while driving the car and turn slow and gently. Stepping off the gas will also help. If the back starts sliding out of control, let off the gas and slightly turn to the opposite direction.

GTA IV

In GTA IV, the Super GT is the fifth-fastest car in the game with a top speed is 105 mph (170 km/h), and the acceleration and speed of the Super GT are superior to many other cars in the game. The distinct sound of a turbocharger can be heard at higher RPMs, which separates it from the other supercars. The Super GT is an excellent choice for its speed and for its brakes, which are powerful and don't lock up very easily. Also, because of its high horsepower to torque ratio, the car can easily be slid into a drift by a single tap of the E-Brake (at moderate enough speeds); making the Super GT a great choice for drifting.

The car's rank in performance is pushed further back with the introduction of faster sport cars in subsequent Episodes of Liberty City DLC.

As a part of text message car missions from Stevie, he will ask you to procure one parked in front of the "69 Exchange" in The Exchange, Algonquin. Before taking it to Stevie's garage, save it in one of your parking spots and wait for another to re-spawn. Then take the re-spawn to Stevie.
