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.
The Z-Type is an iconic vintage luxury coupe featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Truffade in the game, with its design drawing inspiration from classic Cars like the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, combining elegance with speed and a touch of nostalgia.
Vehicle Overview
Design
The Z-Type draws its design inspiration from classic luxury Cars of the early 20th century, featuring a long, elegant body and smooth, flowing lines. Its vintage appeal is accentuated by its large, rounded wheel arches and distinctive front grille, embodying a sense of timeless sophistication in the world of Los Santos.
Performance
Renowned for its remarkable top speed and smooth handling, the Z-Type excels on the open roads of San Andreas. While it may not have the quickest acceleration due to its heavy frame, its strong engine power and stability at high speeds make it a favorite for straight-line races and cruising in style.
Customization
Players can visit any Los Santos Customs to enhance the Z-Type with a variety of upgrades. Available customizations include engine, transmission, and suspension improvements, as well as aesthetic options like wheels and paint jobs. These modifications allow players to accentuate the Z-Type’s classic charm while boosting its performance.
