Sultan
The Sultan is available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San Andreas Rendition
The San Andreas Sultan is a clone of the early 1990s GC Chassis Subaru Impreza WRX (or WRX STi.) Like the Subaru, it has a small, yet powerful, turbocharged engine, and a four wheel drive layout. Its performance is comparable to that of the sports coupes and supercars in the game, whilst its grippy four wheel drive system makes it controlable, and less prone to spinning out (like some of the rear wheel drive cars do.) Players favour the Sultan for drive-by attacks, because of the four seat capacity, and the performance to outrun rival gang or police vehicles. The Sultan is usually seen driving in San Fierro and Las Venturas, yet is absent in Los Santos.
Modifications
GTA IV Rendition
The GTA IV rendition draws upon the Japanese import styling of the previous Sultan. Although no longer resembling one car, design elements from Subaru remain, along with Lexus IS300 inspired headlights, and a Mistubishi Lancer Evolution IX rear end. The vehicle is manufactured by Karin.
There are two varients of the Sultan: the regular car, and the Sultan RS (RS is a popular abbriviation for performance models of mainstream cars.) The standard Sultan is modestly styled, with a leaning towards performance. This is suggested by the small hood scoop, sports rims, and rear spoiler, along with reasonable performance. The Sultan RS, however, loses the rear doors to become a coupe (Much like older performance Subaru Imprezas.) It also has a wider, lower, body kit, rear spoiler, a carbon fibre hood and hood scoop, and ultra low profile tyres with performance rims. Its exhaust pipes protrude from the sides of the car, as opposed to the back, and occasionally let out flames as unburnt fuel escapes, after high-revving. It features a custom blow off valve which makes a 'whip' sound when lifting off the throttle. Its intellegent four wheel drive system is also good for holding powerslides. Badging reveals that the engine is a 3.5L twin turbo, whose sound resembles that of a Subaru Impreza. The Sultan RS is regarded to be one of the fastest vehicles in the game.
Trivia
Driving the Sultan RS around often results in the rare Sentinel XS STD spawning, especially in Little Italy.
The Sultan RS has satellite navigation, complete with spoken directions; which is unusal in what seems to be a stripped down, lightweight race car.
