Overview
The Sultan RS is GTA's Subaru WRX STI — an all-wheel-drive rally machine that punches far above its price class. It's the car that JDM enthusiasts, drift fans, and budget-conscious racers all gravitate toward. With AWD traction, a turbocharged boxer engine, and robust customization options, the Sultan RS has been one of the most beloved cars in GTA history. While not yet confirmed for GTA 6, its absence would be one of the biggest omissions in the franchise.
QUICK SPECS
History in GTA
The Sultan appeared in GTA San Andreas (2004) as a reliable four-door sedan. GTA IV (2008) turned it into a proper performance car — a WRX-inspired AWD sedan that could keep up with sports cars. GTA V (2013) made it a community favorite, and Benny's Original Motor Works elevated it to the Sultan RS — a fully customizable rally weapon that became one of the most popular cars in GTA Online. Its combination of 4 seats, AWD, and legitimate speed made it the perfect crew car.
The Sultan RS in GTA 6
While the Sultan RS hasn't been officially spotted in trailers, its inclusion in GTA 6 is widely expected by the community. The GTA 6 version should draw from the latest WRX STI generation or the legendary 22B. In Leonida's varied terrain — from Vice City streets to swamp-adjacent dirt roads and highway straightaways — AWD will be more valuable than ever. The Sultan RS could be the ultimate all-around daily driver in GTA 6: fast enough for racing, tough enough for off-road shortcuts, and cheap enough to be your first real performance car.
Performance & Handling
The Sultan RS has always been defined by its AWD traction — it can put power down in conditions where RWD cars spin their wheels. This makes it phenomenal in rain, on dirt, and for launches. Top speed won't match the sports car elite, but its 0-60 acceleration and ability to maintain speed through corners makes it a surprisingly competitive racer. It's the car that consistently overperforms expectations.
Where to Find It
The Sultan has historically been one of the most common performance sedans in GTA. Expect to find it in traffic throughout Leonida — in parking lots, suburban neighborhoods, and near car meet locations. Its accessible price point and availability make it an early-game favorite.
Customization
The Sultan RS became a legend through customization. GTA V's Benny's conversion turned a modest sedan into a full rally weapon with wide-body kits, massive spoilers, roll cages, rally lights, and Subaru-inspired liveries. GTA 6 should offer even more options: sequential gearbox, turbo upgrades, intercooler, coilover suspension, bucket seats, and period-correct WRC-inspired modifications.
