A Turismo in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The Turismo is a supercar featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, appearing in different forms in each game.

Description

The Turismo debuted in GTA San Andreas, where it appears to be a mid-engined sports car based on the Ferrari F40 with a modified spoiler and rear design. Although the F40 is rear wheel drive, the Turismo is 4-wheel-drive. Regardless, it is one of the fastest and best handling cars in the game. The engine in the Turismo in GTA San Andreas could very well be a Twin Turbo V8, just like the F40, because it sounds and performs just like it. At Zero RC in Garcia, San Fierro, there are boxes of a model car based on the Turismo but called the "Tourismo".

The Turismo is also a drivable vehicle in GTA IV, based on the Ferrari 360, and the similarly designed Ferrari F430. In the game, the car is manufactured by the fictional company Grotti, the GTA IV equivalent to Ferrari. There are two aesthetic variants, one with flat slatted grills and another with scooped intakes, both over the rear wheels. According to Autoeroticar.com, the engine is a 4.0L Quad Cam V8, possibly turbocharged. It is one of the fastest cars in the game - according to the game files it has a maximum speed of 214mph. It is the second-fastest of the supercars, and also the easiest to find (See Locations below).The tremendous speed of this vehicle can eject the player through the windshield. Upon delivery of all thirty cars for Stevie, (whereupon he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic), the Turismo may fetch the player $11,000.

All Turismos in GTA IV come with horn alarms, but the one at Mikhail Faustin's house will not trigger when Niko opens the door because it is unlocked. However, if you damage the car in any way, the alarm will go off regardless of whether you're in the car or not.
