The Übermacht Oracle XS (dubbed simply Oracle when entered) is a four-door luxury sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
Design
The Oracle is a four-door sedan which inherits the general design and role previously filled by the Sentinel in the GTA III era (the GTA IV Sentinel is redesigned as a two-door sports coupe). The Oracle resembles the BMW E65/E66/E67/E68 7 Series (2002-2008), particularly the pre-facelift models (2002-2005). The only noticeable differences are inverted front indicators, a slightly different taillight design, and the lack of BMW's traditional kidney-shaped grilles. There is a slightly modified variant of the Oracle driven by members of the McReary Mob. It is painted dark green with front and rear bumper kits and a sport mesh grill, and its badge markings are removed. This variant is often seen in Steinway, Dukes.

Performance
The Oracle is probably powered by a V12, like the most powerful BMW 7 Series. Thus it is able to achieve a decent high speed with satisfactory acceleration. Its handling is superb for a car of its size, and it is durable, owing to its luxury construction. The soft suspension means that the car is comfortable on all surfaces. It's definitely the best sports sedan to drive in GTA IV.
Trivia
- The default radio station in the Oracle is The Journey.
- An Oracle ad parodying BMW's ad style is seen on billboards around the city, including one at Star Junction. It shows a picture of the car with the caption, "Automatic Arrogance". Also, the Oracle in the billboard adverts doesn't seem to have the logo on the bonnet.
- The Oracle's name could be a referance to the BMW Oracle Racing team, as the company who makes the Oracle, Übermacht, mocks BMW.
Prominent appearances and locations
- Can also be found in the parking lot across from the Middle Park East Safehouse.
- There's usually one parked at Franklin Street in Steinway.
- The Oracle is somewhat rare, but is mostly found in Algonquin, near City Hall and The Exchange.
- Packie McReary drives a modified McReary Mob Oracle, seen in Waste Not Want Knots.
- Ray Boccino drives a black Oracle, which can be taken after Pest Control.
- Lyle Rivas owns one just prior sometime before the mission Search and Delete.
