-The Comet from GTA Vice City to GTA Vice City Stories is based on the [[wp:Porsche 911|Porsche 911]]; it best resembles the 911 Carrera Cabriolet from 1976 or the early 1980s, however, like newer 911 models, it has an all-wheel-drive configuration. The car features a [[wp:targa top|targa top]] similar to the Targa 911s; however, the [[wp:fastback|fastback]] profile the Comet sported in GTA Vice City was dropped in favor of a backwards-slanted standalone C-pillar until GTA IV. GTA III era renditions of the Comet are front-engined, unlike the real Porsche 911, which is famously rear-engined; this led to speculation that the Comet was inspired by a [[wp:Nissan S30|Datsun 240Z]], as did the inset headlamps, which not seen on any Porsche model. The headlamps may also have been inspired by the [[wp:Alfa Romeo Spider|1966-1969 Alfa Romeo Spider]].
