About sultan car

"For a wide-eyed junior exec in the late 90s nothing said "I can almost afford to buy European" like the Karin Sultan. These days you're an angry middle aged, pre-diabetic, wannabe rally driver, but the Sultan is still your best friend: with your money and our expertise, this could become the high-octane racer you dreamed of as a teenager and still have no idea how to drive. Eligible for customization at Benny's Original Motor Works."―Benny's Original Motor Works description.The Sultan is a four-door sports sedan in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Karin in the HD Universe.
The Sultan was also supposed to appear in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, but it was cut for unknown reasons.

Design

3D Universe

The Sultan is based on the 1990's GC Subaru Impreza WRX/1992-1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo I, with the headlights of a Peugeot 405 and the bumper of a Peugeot 406.
The Sultan is distinguished by its basic profile as with various sedans in the game, yet it has a sportier appearance, with a sports bumper having two square intakes, a hood scoop, custom skirts and twin exhausts. It also has 5-spoke rims with a pentagon-shaped center.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Now manufactured by Karin, the Grand Theft Auto IV Sultan draws upon the Japanese import styling of the previous Sultan. Its general body shape is partly based on the first-generation Lexus IS (Toyota Altezza), but its prevalence of sharper characteristics lends it a much more striking form. Certain elements such as the rear lamp units are inspired by the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V. Other elements (such as the bonnet and spoiler of the Korean Mob variant) bear resemblance to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI. Interestingly, ordinary Sultans come with blued exhaust tips, similar to the titanium tips on the Futo GT. In GTA IV, the Sultan has the most variety in spawning colors, including wheel colors.
The Sultan is equipped with a GPS system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars

The Sultan's body is resembled as a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII. Compared to other GTA games, the Sultan carries the Sultan RS's speed, and spoiler from GTA IV.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Sultan reappears in GTA V, mostly unchanged in terms of appearance. The only difference is that it now features black wheels by default, as well as the reformed engine sound.

Performance

3D Universe

The Sultan has a small, yet powerful turbocharged engine, and a four wheel drive drivetrain. Its performance is relatively strong in comparison with all of the sports coupés and super-cars in the game, whilst its grippy four wheel drive system makes it particularly controllable; it is less prone to spinning out than the rear wheel drive cars, making it a good car for Gymkhana or cross-country road trip. The Sultan is the fastest four-door car in the game.
Much like its real-life counterpart, the Sultan makes for an excellent offroad vehicle as well. Its low ground clearance can be an hinderance offroad, but this can be rectified by adding Hydraulics. The only drawback of the Sultan is its poor build quality. The Sultan's front or back can be deformed even in low speed collisions with other vehicles.
Players favor the Sultan for drive-by attacks, due to its four seat capacity and its ability to outrun rival gang or police vehicles, as it has supreme handling.
It weighs 1400 kg like some 2-door rivals.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The Sultan remains fast, grippy, engaging and easy to drive. Like all past Sultan models (and most Subarus) the GTA IVSultan is AWD (40% front/ 60% rear torque distribution), providing superior traction and handling over other cars of the same class. While many similarly sized sedans offer similar straight line performance, the added stability of the Sultan allows fast cornering and easy power sliding, making it a good choice for races or getaways (and one of the best 4-door cars in the game). The soft suspension makes it roll over easily when turning. Under-steer is a factor, but the powerful engine and quick handling make it sporty and fun to drive. Although the engine is not the most durable, considering its speed, body deformation is average. Non-tuned Sultans come with alarms, the most popular forms being the horn and beep versions.

Vehicle Statistics - Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars

The Sultan in similarity to GTA IV carries the same speed and steering, but mostly based of traits from the Sultan RS. Also compared to other sedans, the Sultan can do burnouts more easily.

Grand Theft Auto V

Returning to Grand Theft Auto V, the car remains one of the best 4-door cars in the game. It is a very good all-around car with above-average speed, acceleration, traction and handling and because of its AWD nature, the Sultan can easily surpass most off-road vehicles, especially when upgraded. The car suffers from a small amount of understeer when taking corners at high speed. Its durability is average. Braking, however, is this vehicle's weakness, taking a long time to slow or fully stop the vehicle. Additionally, the car does not handle particularly well when braking through a corner.
The Sultan is an extremely close competitor to the Kuruma, being able to compete very closely with one in a race (though both are rather off the pace in the sports class as a whole).
The engine is modeled as a twin-cam inline-6 with twin turbos fitted in most variations.

Modifications

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Being classified as a "tuner" car, the Sultan can only be modified at Wheel Arch Angels; and like all cars of its class, the range of body kits, rims and spoilers are the same, the only distinction being its three unique customized body paint schemes.
TypeUpgradeCostImageX-Flow version.Alien version.WRC replica version.It is interesting to note that while Paintjob 1 and Paintjob 3 of the customized body paint schemes are of original designs, Paintjob 2 is a blue and yellow rally-like scheme similar to that of the Subaru World Rally Team's 1993-1996 Subaru Impreza GC.

General

  • GTA IV: The Beat 102.7 or The Classics 104.1.

  • GTA V: Channel X.
• Sultan means king in Persian, Arabic, Indonesian and Malay language, and is also the term for the head of state in various countries. The Sultan is most likely named as the "king" of the sedans as it is the fastest sedan in the core games.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

• There is a handling text of a cut vehicle with the name "SUBARU" on it[1], which had a top speed of 200 km/h, an AWD drivetrain and a mass of 1400 kgs. It is possibly the Sultan, since the GTA San Andreas model is also based on a Subaru Impreza. These stats are also the same as those found on the aforementioned model.
