Revision as of 12:33, 20 January 2010

A 500 XLR8 in GTA Chinatown Wars.

The 500 XLR8 is a sports car featured only in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Design

The 500 XLR8 is designed as a blue and red "tuner" car based on a two-door coupe or stock sports car (similar in appearance to GTA Chinatown War's Comet, regular and modified), being outfitted with a basic body kit, a large black spoiler, and purple neon underglows that light up at night. The "XLR8" part of the name is an onomatopoeia for "accelerate".

The 500 XLR8 is a considerably good in performance, possessing an excellent acceleration and a good top speed. Its steering, however, is only moderately good, while the car's brakes are only responsive at lower speeds as it results in the car having a longer stopping distance at higher speeds; the car also has the tendency to lean towards the side when steering around tight corners. Its durability is, as expected, low.

Locations

Occasionally spawns on the northern half of the Francis International Airport, north of the multistory car park.
The 500 XLR8 is one of the three cars protagonist Huang Lee must steal in the mission The Wheelman.
The car is also unlocked once the player attains bronze medals in all Algonquin races, when it becomes available for purchase at the BOABO merchant.
