The Windsor is two-door sports convertible featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description
Design
The Windsor is designed as a 1960s to early 1970s classic convertible sports car, appearing with either its black top up or down. The car resembles a late 60s - mid 70's Jaguar E-Type, but features a stretched rear and a generally longer proportion. The lights on the front and the shape resemble a 1982-1990 Alfa Romeo Spider. If this car actually appeared in Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned, it will be manufactured by Ocelot.
Performance
The Windsor is a very fast car; however, it does not match up to some of the "elite" cars. The Windsor's engine is very loud, giving out a throaty roar, sounding more like a V8 than the 4 cylinder engine that came in all Alfa Spiders or the 6 cylinder/V12 that came in the all Jaguar E-Types, but acceleration and speed is on par. Cornering is very difficult, as the car seems to be much heavier than it looks, and the car tends to subtly fishtail or drift, despite running at mid speeds, though experienced players can control its drifting capabilities.
Modifications
Being a standard sports car, the Windsor can only be modified at TransFender, which offers the following modifications:
- Color
- Wheels (ten types)
- Nitro (All)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
Trivia
- The default radio station in the Windsor is Master Sounds 98.3.
- In the mission Key To Her Heart, the croupier leaves the shop very quickly. The player does not neccesarily need to use this vehicle, but it is the only one in the parking lot. Sometimes, the car you're driving may dissappear after leaving the shop, so you may need to take it.
