I'm in love with this car and I've only had it for a few hours (did 4 heists and came back to buy it).

I keep changing the color of my Kuruma. I had a modded neon blue on it, but decided that an armored car really shouldn't be so vibrant and outlandishly colored. I've changed it to Matte Black with Gasoline Green pearlescent. Looks pretty smooth.

Kuruma-GTAIII-front.jpg

The origin of this fabulous sedan car.

 

The word "kuruma" means "automobile" in Japanese (), which may suggest that the car is of Japanese origin. However, the car is loosely based on a 1998–2004 Dodge Intrepid and a 2001–2003 Chrysler Sebring. For GTA Liberty City Stories, the Kuruma has slight cosmetic changes to make it look like a generic Japanese sedan during the late 1990s, the front appearing to resemble a 1994–1997 Honda Accord; it also comes with colored or uncolored (gray) bumpers and trims, giving it the appearance of an economy car.

The Kuruma is the first car made available to the player in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, in the missions "Give Me Liberty" and "Home Sweet Home", respectively, probably due to the fact that it handles relatively neutrally. When originally introduced in GTA III, the car is not seen driven on the streets of Portland, but is parked in various locations in the island; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the car is present in Portland traffic.

During development of GTA III, the Kuruma was originally known as the "Sentinal", not to be confused by the Sentinel, another sedan in the final version of the same game, in which it was previously known as the "Beamer" during development. Prior to the game's release, the Kuruma is presumed to have been renamed, while the "Sentinal" name found its way into the Beamer, resulting in the Beamer being renamed the "Sentinel".

GTA V:

The Kuruma, now branded by Karin, has been redesigned to be a 4-door tuner, in a similar vein to the Sultan. It mostly resembles the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

I like your Kurumas guys. Also, thanks for showing more rear angle photos. :)

It's read as "Koo-roo-ma" not "Kuh-roo-ma"

 

Anyway, kinda disappointed to see there's no option for spoilerless and no-hole hood. Gotta try the car later, still.

Jesus! is this how sad things are getting when we are being told how to say it now?

Judging by the number of retards playing this game, i dont think many have progressed to reading

The spoiler and hood vent on this car are like parasites, tbh.

Do off-road tires increase performance when off-roading or are they just for looks?.

The big positive of off road tires is it helps u go over curbs easier (without Losing control)

 

 

Btw, which off road tires are those?
