About z type

"Weather the new Great Depression with a car from the last Great Depression. When this rolled off the production line in 1937, minorities and women knew their place. It was the world's fastest automobile. Now it's the world's most expensive second-hand automobile. One of only 10 ever made, the Z-Type is a car you can really enjoy sitting in, surrounded by armed guards, too terrified to actually drive it anywhere."―Legendary Motorsport description.The Z-Type is a gang car in Grand Theft Auto 2 (driven by members of the Zaibatsu Corporation) and a classic luxury grand tourer in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Truffade in the HD Universe.

Design

Grand Theft Auto 2

The Z-Type is inspired by the 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic. It is the latest vehicle of the "-Type" series, having a more rounded profile than the A-Typeand the B-Type. As a Zaibatsu Corporation main car, the Z-Type comes with the Zaibatsu's emblem on the roof. Its internal name (VTYPE), unlike the A-Type and the B-Type, does not match with any known car.

Grand Theft Auto V

The vehicle is a sleek classic coupe made by Truffade. It is based on the 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and the 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS. Like many other vehicles in the series, the Z-Type has no reversing lights, but contains two orange tail lights, which appear to be indicator lights. The round circle with the Truffade logo on the rear appears to be a boot/trunk, and contains a spare tyre.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto 2

The car is very fast, having a high top speed and excellent acceleration. Despite the pros, the car's handling is very sharp and prone to oversteering. One can lose control of it very fast, if care isn't taken. On the other hand, the handling is very responsible, so the player can stop before a crash without problems too. It's engine noise is shared with the Meteor, Trance AM, Miara and many others.
Like its counterpart in GTA V, it has very characteristic handling, with a high top speed and excellent acceleration, but is very prone to tailspins and can be difficult to control. However, in the hands of an experienced driver, it can be a useful getaway car, especially in timed missions.

Grand Theft Auto V

The vehicle is powered by a massive V12 engine with single-overhead camshafts and 6 double-barrel carburetors. The V12 engine is capable of powering the vehicle up to impressive top speeds. The car has a very characteristic handling that results in its ability to calmly accelerate and easily weave through light traffic. This gives the player the impression that it is a relatively easy car to drive, but it is also prone to sudden and unexpected spin-outs upon cornering at any speed. Due to its poor weight distribution and soft suspension, it is prone to oversteer, and counter-steering is extremely difficult.

Trivia

General

• The Z-Type, the Furore GT and Panto are only featured in two GTA games, both being set in 2013.
• The default radio stations for the Z-Type are:
  • GTA 2: Futuro FM or Lithium FM (Only after "Radio Za-Za!").
  • GTA V: Los Santos Rock Radio, Vinewood Boulevard Radio or Radio Mirror Park.

Grand Theft Auto 2

• A Zaibatsu member can be seen driving the Z-Type in the introduction scene at the Residential District, to run over a Redneck member. The player can pick up the pistol from Scientists gang member corpse and shoot the Redneck - only if Police Officer is out of sight. Then he has to go west in order to check if the Z-type is still parked and collect it. In the Dreamcast port, this Z-Type is given a unique gold paintjob.

Grand Theft Auto V

• This vehicle may spawn with a horn that is only present on a select few vehicles, the others being the ÖverflödEntity XF, Grotti Cheetah, Dewbauchee JB 700 and the Enus Stafford.
• The Z-Type is one of the oldest cars in Grand Theft Auto V, along with the Hotknife, Duneloader, Rat-Loader, Roosevelt and the old Tractor.
• If given the right paint job (and possibly the right crew emblem) from Los Santos Customs, it will resemble the Zaibatsu Z-Type from GTA 2.
