A Tornado in GTA San Andreas (Rear quarter view).

The Tornado is a two-door lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

The Tornado assumes the design of a late-1950s coupe, with signature sweeping curves and tailfins. The front half of the car (and most of the front bumper and grille) and rear window resemble those of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, while the windscreen, sides, back side and bottom half of the front bumper resemble a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air.

The car serves as one of several gang cars for the Los Santos Vagos.

Performance

Having only two doors, the Tornado is only designed to carry two occupants, and as a result, is not a good choice for drive-bys because it lacks the four-seats that many other gang cars have. The car does make up for this deficiency with its above average top speed and acceleration (faster than most four-door lowriders), as well as its generally reliably stable cornering even with its long wheelbase that is supposed to hamper the car's maneuverability. Its low ground clearance, however, clearly makes the car unsuitable for rugged off-roading.

The Tornado is also durable and can take a good bit of gunfire before exploding. Although it doesn't appear to have a visible fuel cap, it will explode if the back license plate is shot.

Modifications

Trivia

  • In Grand Theft Auto IV, a car very similar to the Tornado can be seen in a picture in the back room of The Triangle Club in the borough of Bohan the only difference being that it has double headlights (much like the '58 Bel Air).
  • The default radio station in the Tornado is Radio Los Santos.

Locations

  • Spawns mostly around Los Santos Vagos teritories.
  • Spawns more often when the beater/junk car traffic cheat is activated.
