In GTA V, The Tornado resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Bel Air|1958 Chevrolet Bel Air]] in its front end and overall shape, with a bumper similar to a [[wp:Cadillac Eldorado|1957 Cadillac Eldorado]], and 1957 Bel Air style rear wings and trunk. Other than the dual headlights, it resembles its predecessor.

In GTA V, The Tornado still resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Bel Air|1958 Chevrolet Bel Air]] in its front end and overall shape, but the years of the ends have been swapped; the front end now has the '58 Bel Air design and the rear now has the 1957 Bel Air design. New features include a bumper similar to a [[wp:Cadillac Eldorado|1957 Cadillac Eldorado]], dual headlights(with black surrounds like the '57) and 1957 Bel Air style rear wings and trunk. Other than the dual headlights, and '57 Chevy bel Air rear, it resembles its predecessor.
Having only two doors, the Tornado is only designed to carry two occupants. The car does make up for this with its above average top speed and acceleration, as well as its generally stable cornering (even with its long wheelbase that is supposed to hamper the car's maneuverability). Braking, however, isn't so great.

The Tornado is again quite durable and handles relatively similiar to it's SA counterpart. One disadvanatge of this car is that it perfroms horrible while driving up hills.

* The Tornado is the lowest vehicle in the game and only lowrider and/or car capable of dragging. Dropping its rear end on the ground produces a continuous stream of sparks like a minitruck. This trick can be executed through the aid of hydraulics by nose up with right analog stick (PS2). The scraping can be done by pressing the Num 8 button or by pressing H, then the Num 2 button (PC).
