The Sabre features a 550ci (9 liter) single cam V8, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. The car is also lighter.ĩ9 / 160 (GTA Vice City & GTA San Andreas)ġ700 / 3748 (GTA Vice City & GTA San Andreas)

Performance in GTA Vice City is similar to that of the GTA San Andreas counterpart, while in GTA Vice City Stories, the performance of the car has been enhanced in comparison to past counterparts, as it now features a higher top speed and five gears, instead of just four. Its frame is sturdy and can take a fair amount of damage, but its intense power and heavy construction result in the disability of the car to survive very few high-speed collisions. However, being the rear-drive muscle car it is, the drive-train of this vehicle is overpowered, leading to occasional burnout and fishtailing, and a general decline in performance in wet weather. The handling of the Sabre is arguably among the best in GTA San Andreas, and the brakes are excellent. In GTA San Andreas, the Sabre is one of the gang cars for the San Fierro Rifa.Īcceleration and speed are very impressive due to its engine. The Vice City Sabre's tail lights are arguably more similar to a 1969 or 1971 Cutlass, as a result. The GTA San Andreas Sabre has four tail lights while in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories the Sabre only has two, which could reflect the Cutlass' tail lights having changed every year in that generation. While the Sabre remains the same through GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the GTA San Andreas rendition loses the pointed shape to the front end. The rear haunches resemble those of a 1966–1969 Buick Riviera. The Sabre in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is generally designed after the General Motors A-bodies, with the front fascia of the second generation Buick Skylark and rear fascia of the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass. The original Chevelle body moves onto the original variant of the Sabre, the Sabre GT, and the two are longer related. In GTA IV, the car no longer takes its iconic Chevelle body style and now takes a classic G-body design similar in shape to the Faction. The design of the Sabre was relatively similar throughout the 3D Universe, and featured two alternative variations which take the design of the regular Sabre. 8.3 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.6.3 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
