A Pinnacle in GTA IV (Rear quarter view).

The Annis Pinnacle is a 4-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Design

The Pinnacle is based on the sixth generation Nissan Maxima. The back end looks similar to a Ford Five Hundred, as does the front end, albeit with differently-shaped headlights. the area around the back license plate is arranged similarly to those on many older Infinitis and Mitsubishis. The name "Pinnacle" may be a play on "Maxima", as both of the names suggest an uppermost extreme.

Performance

The Pinnacle is powered by a 3.5L V6 but its engine sounds the same as the Feltzer, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. The engine pulls strongly, launching the vehicle off the line quickly and giving it an acceptable top speed. Braking is fair, often requiring great distances to come to a complete halt. ABS is not available on the Pinnacle. The suspension is firm, but due to its shallow maximum wheel angle, the Pinnacle cannot corner, even at slow speeds. Crash deformation is poor, causing the front tie rods to fail after only a few frontal impacts. Also due to its flimsy construction the engine is known to fail after only a few slight accidents.
