ā | === Overview === |
||
ā | The Hotring Racers are among Grand Theft Auto's quickest cars. Their primary setting: the stadium race challenges of GTA Vice City and San Andreas. Hotring Racers are presumably based on stock cars. Each Hotring Racer variant contains sponsor stickers, labeled with GTA's fictional [[businesses]]. There are currently three versions of the Hotring Racer. |

The third variant ("hotrinb") resembles a 1982 Ford Thunderbird (front), and a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (rear). The "hotring" in ''GTA: Vice City'' lacked a roll cage and netting, unlike the "hotrina" and "hotrinb."

None of the Hotrings suffer from understeer. Oversteer occurs where it is to be expected: the corner exit. The minor handling differences make the Hotrings only a bit better or worse than one another, because they remain very similar. |

Template:Infobox vehicles
The Hotring Racer is a fast, unlockable race car featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There are three versions of this vehicle in both games.
Design
Hotring Racers were introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. They resemble stock cars of the mid-1980s with fictional business ads. In GTA: Vice City, they are used in the "Hotring" side mission. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, they are used in the "8-Track" side mission.
The three Hotring Racers differ in performance and design. The first variant ("hotring") vaguely resembles a very generic GM G body (clarification needed). The second variant ("hotrina") resembles a 1985 Chevrolet Camaro (front), and a 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier (rear). The third variant ("hotrinb") resembles a 1982 Ford Thunderbird (front), and a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (rear). The "hotring" in GTA: Vice City lacked a roll cage and netting, unlike the "hotrina" and "hotrinb." This inconsistency was partially fixed in GTA: San Andreas, which added netting to the vehicle.
The "hotring" bears only one number in each game: #27 in GTA: Vice City, and #21 in GTA: San Andreas. The "hotrina" and "hotrinb" both have 6 different car numbers in each game:
- In GTA: Vice City, the hotrina may spawn with the numbers #21, #34, #56 or #78, while the hotrinb may be marked with the numbers #14, #28, #65 or #69.
- In GTA: San Andreas, the hotrina can be numbered #14, #45, #52, #67, #73 or #96, while the hotrinb may obtain the numbers #07, #26, #36, #60, #65 or #82.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
In GTA: San Andreas, the three Hotring Racers share the same top speed. Each variant handles differently. The "hotrina" boasts tremendous grip, superior to the "hotrinb" and "hotring" variants. On any driving course, the "hotrina" will be quicker than the "hotring" and "hotrinb." The "hotrinb" will be second-quickest, and the "hotring" will be third-quickest (both variants demand more driver's effort than the "hotrina"). Hotring Racers are rear-wheel drive, and allow drifting.
Locations
Under normal circumstances, the "hotring" is the only variant of the Hotring Racer available for players to drive. However, during the "8-Track" race of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player drives a "hotrinb." The "hotrina" and "hotrinb" are only obtainable through cheat codes.

Trivia
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Hotring Racers make a cameo appearance in a television commercial for the "Patriot 500" (which in the commercial, takes place in the 3D Universe rendition of San Andreas at the Los Santos International Airport). Carl Johnson is seen driving Hotring Racers on the airport runway.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the three Hotring Racers have different default radio stations. They are as follows:
- When using the "cars can fly short distances" cheat code, Hotring Racers can become makeshift aircraft (due to their high speed).
