The name is a parody of Cutlass, judging by the fact that the Sabre and Cutlass are swords. Being a 2 door makes it a bad choice for drive-bys or carrying an entourage in GTA San Andreas; it is also used as a gang car by the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. A green Sabre is used by the [[Ballas]] for a special occasion in an attempt to kill [[Grove Street]] leader [[Sweet]] in a drive-by shooting by hitting the [[Johnson House]]. However, Sweet was not home and his mother [[Beverly Johnson]] is killed instead. | ||

The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]]. It resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Monte Carlo#Fourth generation|1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS]] (the other models have different front ends), the front end resembles a [[wp:Dodge 600|1983-1985 Dodge 600]] more so than the Monte Carlo SS but could be meant to emulate the front of the Monte Carlo SS. It features decals on the sides (somewhat like the Monte Carlo SS) reading: "Sabre 550SS" | The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]].

The Sabre is one of a range of cars that can be found [[Wrecks|in total disrepair]] in GTA IV - rusted out versions of it that spew huge clouds of brown exhaust and backfires randomly, as well as featuring junky bodywork, rusting metallic parts, occasionally missing headlights and radiator grills, and jutting exhaust pipes.

The [[Declasse]] Sabre features a | The [[Declasse]] Sabre features a 9.0 L (550 in³) V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is good, although not impressive; and its top speed of 193 mph (310 km/h) is relatively the same as [[Ruiner|other]] [[Faction|vehicles]] in its class. Due to the heavy frame and very soft suspension, the Sabre has a tendency to flop about in turns, making oversteer common. The suspension is pillow-soft, and thanks to it, the Sabre practically lollops through turns, with a vague and numb sense of direction. Braking is fair, though without ABS front wheel lockup is common. | ||
[[Vehicle Damage|Crash deformation]] is very good, and the Sabre can still take many direct hits before failing or catching fire. | [[Vehicle Damage|Crash deformation]] is very good, and the Sabre can still take many direct hits before failing or catching fire. | ||
Overall, the Sabre matches top speed with the Ruiner and the [[Tampa]]. It is very similar in physical description to the Faction, yet it goes faster and has a little better acceleration. It can withstand a lot of hits and shots for its size before failing. | |||
