The Elegy is based off the third generation [[:wp:Nissan Skyline GT-R|Nissan Skyline GT-R]], which is only sold officially in Japan and is rarely ever seen in the US market. It bears a striking resemblance to the [[:wp:Nissan Skyline R32#R32|R32]] model with [[wp:Nissan Skyline R34#R34|R34]] taillights, although the front resembles the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Nissan_Skyline_Coupe_GTS-R_(R31)_001.JPG/800px-Nissan_Skyline_Coupe_GTS-R_(R31)_001.JPG Skyline R31 GTS-R] because the front seems to be more squarer in shape compared to the rounder 4WD Skyline GTR R32. The Elegy is rear-wheel drive, unlike the well known Skyline GT-R, which is all-wheel drive, even though the [http://www.japanesesportcars.com/photos/d/18373-2/1991_skyline-gts-t-type-m.jpg GTS-t] (a lower grade model with less power) is rear-wheel drive. | The Elegy is based off the third generation [[:wp:Nissan Skyline GT-R|Nissan Skyline GT-R]], which is only sold officially in Japan and is rarely ever seen in the US market.

Acceleration, speed, and handling are very impressive, although slight burnouts and fishtailing can be a nuisance while speeding about the city, as the engine tends to overpower the drivetrain, threatening it to spin out if attempting to turn in corners. This also makes the car virtually unmanageable at high speeds after a back tire has been shot out, making it extremely difficult to maintain control. However, it is one of the best cars to to drift with. Despite the small chassis, the Elegy is capable of withstanding a good deal of damage, but explosions must be avoided. | Acceleration, speed, and handling are very impressive, although slight burnouts and fishtailing can be a nuisance while speeding about the city, as the engine tends to overpower the drivetrain, threatening it to spin out if attempting to turn in corners.

The Elegy's engine looks and performs very similar to the Sultan's, and is probably also a twin-turbo straight-6. | The Elegy's engine looks and performs very similar to the Sultan's, and is probably also a twin-turbo straight-6. | ||
