Overview

The Karin Kuruma is a Karin-built sedans vehicle drawing inspiration from the Mitsubishi Lancer (Armored). It represents Karin's commitment to performance and style on the streets of Vice City.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Karin Kuruma benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.
