Sunrise

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

The Sunrise is another vehicle that is only available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

It is one of only two 4 door cars that can arguably be used for both street racing and police evasion, the other being the Sultan. The Sunrise closely resembles a Second Generation Saab 90001992-1998 because of the Headlights and Bodyshape and the fact that both cars are front wheel drive. Despite the fact that the Sunrise appears to be a tuner, it cannot be modified in Wheel Arch Angels, but in TransFender instead.

Performance

While speed is extraordinary, acceleration is slightly disappointing, likely due to the front-wheel drive train being poorly matched with the presumably throaty V6 engine. However, handling is taut, and the brakes are strong. The Sunrise reaches very high speeds, even greater then the other four-door racer, the Sultan.

The drawback with this car, however, is that due to its lower-than-average curb weight, the very high speeds it is capable of reaching can send it out of control even at the slightest perturbation. It isn't really a low suspension, but it's its awkwardly located wheel wells (a bit too high) that prevent this car from being used on uneven roads, hills, and trails.

Trivia

  • When entered, the default radio station in the Sunrise is CSR 103.9.
  • The Sunrise resembles the Saab 9000 (1992-1997).

Locations

The Sunrise is sometimes seen driving around in San Fierro and Las Venturas, but is generally absent (but is seen occasionally) in Los Santos.
