The Uranus is a two-door hatchback, that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.

It is a car that is frequently found in the San Fierro area, and is an excellent car to use for street racing. A Uranus can be found parked in the showroom of Wang Cars after completing Zeroing In. It is a car that takes well, and is perfectly adapted to the streets of San Fierro, and has a balanced out ride, giving the player ability to feel in better control of what he/she is doing. It is one of the six vehicles that can be modified at the Wheel Arch Angels garage. The Uranus is based off the 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Another version of the Uranus is featured in GTA IV. This time the car resembles the Fox body Mustang (1979-1986), judging by the grille a 1985 or '86, however the Uranus is front-wheel drive. Unlike its rival, the Dinka Blista Compact, the front wheel drive system causes understeer, even at relatively low speed, and the small four-cylinder engine is underpowered, even though the Uranus is the lightest car in the game, according to the game files.

Variants

Uranus GT from GTA IV

A modified Uranus occasionally appears with a custom bodykit including: rear window louvers, a 'whale-tail' spoiler (which some people associate with a Ford Escort RS Cosworth), etc. . The modified version lacks any enhanced performance over its stock counterpart. It also has a huge decal on the windshield which reads 'LOZSPEED'. It is in fact, pronounced as 'lose speed', obviously taking a hit at ricers. As the game progresses, the modified Uranus becomes increasingly rare.But you can always at the beginning stock one at youre house and let it stand there until the end, so when you want them to spawn, just ride around the block a few times.(Even though youre house will get burned down, the parking lot stays valid !)


With a bit of fantasy you'll think its a Toyota AE86 from Initial D (look at the white body / black line), however the Toyota AE86 already exists in GTA IV as a Futo.
