The Turismo inGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas is largely based on theFerrari F40, with a modified spoiler and sloped, square taillights. The headlights and the spoiler might be taken from theFerrari F40 LM, while the bonnet is similar to theFerrari Testarossa. The front fascia resembles theFerrari F512M.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The Turismo inGrand Theft Auto IV is primarily based on theFerrari 360, with various elements from theFerrari F430, such as the headlights and the side profile. The side vents on the front bumper are reminiscent of theFerrari F430 Scuderia, although flipped upside-down, while the front bumper as a whole, as well as the rear fender vents and the side mirrors, is most likely taken from theoriginal Lamborghini Gallardo. Side vents may be inspired by thePorsche Carrera GT. The tail light layout seems to be inspired by theFerrari Testarossa. The rims resemble the three-piece OZ Racing Superleggera rims.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
The Turismo in the DS version ofGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars still resembles the 360/F430 but now takes small cues from theCorvette C6. In the PSP and mobile versions, the Turismo has even more C6 influence, to the point that it closely resembles theCoquette.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The Turismo assumes a sleek and aerodynamic design. characterized by its extensive length and distinctive rear taillights and rear vent. The rear of the car features a tall, double-fin spoiler by default. Below the rear vent, a number plate appearing to emulateEuropean number plates can be seen. InThe Definitive Edition, this plate is replaced with a blank, standard American-style number plate.
The Turismo is seen in a variety of single colours, being applied to the entire body and the spoiler.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The Turismo gains a major redesign compared to its previous iteration. It remains a sleek and aerodynamic sports car, but has an overall smaller footprint and a more rounded design. The car is characterized by its large front trunk area, its rear fender intakes, and its distinctive taillight and rear grille assembly, which bears a slight resemblance to itsGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas counterpart. The rear fender intakes of the Turismo may randomly spawn either as flat slatted grilles or as scooped intakes.
The Turismo's sporty interior is heavily clad in tan leather on the dash and seats. A "TURISMO" badge can be seen on the door seams when the doors are open, as well as on the dial cluster and glovebox (albeit in a heavily low quality). A low-quality Grotti badge can be seen on the horn cap.
The Turismo spawns in a variety of single colours applied to the entire body. It uses a set of 12-spoke rims with bolt details on the outer section.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
The Turismo inGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars largely retains theGTA IV appearance, with several design differences depending on the version played. In theNintendo DS version, the vehicle remains largely similar to theGTA IV rendition, with subtle changes to the shape of the headlights. In thePSP andmobile versions of the game, the design differences are more substantial, with the headlights bearing a slight resemblance to theCoquette, being moved further up the front end of the car.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The engine appears to be a V6 equipped with three carburetors/throttle bodies on top, which is coupled to a five-speed gearbox in a mid engine, all wheel drive layout. It uses the high-revving engine sound from high-end sports cars such as theCheetah,Comet,Banshee, andSuper GT.
According toAutoeroticar.com, the Turismo's engine inGTA IV is a high-revving 4.0L Quad Cam V8 fitted to 5-speed manual transmission. Its engine model is roughly similar to that of theInfernus of the same game, with "GROTTI" printed on the cam covers. True to the website statement, it is coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox in a rear engine, rear wheel drive layout. The website also specifies that the vehicle features ABS, which is somewhat complemented with the fact that the wheels rarely lock under braking pressure (unless the car encounters a significant bump on the road), as well as having good steering capabilities while braking. It has a unique engine sound, being high-revving and high-pitched, yet with a rather quiet tone compared to the one used on theInfernus, theComet and theSuperGT.
The Turismo still performs very well like inGTA IV, and the mid engine layout also means that it is shielded from frontal impacts and mildly shielded from rear impacts. Similarly toGTA IV, the Turismo has low resistance to gunfire.
A variant of the Turismo used by theMob inAlgonquin. Both platform versions are distinguished by its all-dark gray body color, but the Nintendo DS version features larger variations in design from the base model, including different headlights, larger front lip spoiler, and wider rear windshield. The PSP/mobile rendition of the Mob Turismo remains much closer to the Turismo in its styling.
In theLas Venturas Freight Depot Race Tournaments, choosing the Las Venturas Ringroad race will provide you a Turismo. Park it in a garage and abandon the race. When you return to your garage, the car will still be there.
TheGrotti dealership on the road adjacent to Niko'sMiddle Park East Safehouse inMiddle Park East,Algonquin, across the street from Middle Park East'sPerseus, contains eight Turismos. Stealing one gives the player a one starwanted level, even if there is nopolice presence in the area. It is easy to park it outside theSafehouse nearby to own it. If the player wants to steal one during the night, they probably need to break one of the dealership's windows, as the doors will be locked.
InThe Ballad of Gay Tony, callingHenrique and requesting a Turismo will have one delivered to your location. Henrique will bring one in a rare and hard to find baby blue.

The player, then, must follow Mori and weave in and out between streets and police cars (as the player gains a three-starwanted level, due to Mori tipping off the cops to make things 'interesting').

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
All Turismos inGrand Theft Auto IV come with horn alarms, but the one atMikhail Faustin'smansion will not trigger whenNiko opens the door, because it is unlocked. However, if the player damages the car in any way, the alarm will go off, regardless of whether Niko is in the car or not.
