The A-Type is designed as a two-door car with a relatively leaner and smoother design, in contrast with other "-Type" cars in the game, but still appears with 1930s/1940s-like design cues. Like other "-Type" cars, the A-Type is suggestively based on a Bentley, specifically, a [[wp:Bentley R Type|Bentley R-Type]], as evidenced by its internal name, <code>RTYPE</code>. However, the car itself doesn't bear much likeness to the real-life car (instead appearing more like a [[wp:Morris Six MS|Morris Six MS]]), due to significant changes made on its design during development. An early concept design by [[Ray Larabie]] suggests the car would have been more ornate, similar to the R-Type.

The A-Type is an excellent road-going vehicle, with great top speed and acceleration (with no delay from gear shifts), as well as good steering and excellent brakes. When [[Crusher|crushed]], the car awards the player a [[Fast Reload]] power-up.

* Unusually, the A-Type does not normally spawn in traffic, and can only be found in the [[Downtown District]] of [[Anywhere City]] parked on the south edge of Fruitbat's eastern half or at the club in southern Funabashi.
