The Blade is a two door, two seat lowrider that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It takes a lot of its design cues from the Chevrolet Impala cars of the 1950s. However, the headlight design looks similar to that of the Oldsmobile Cutlass. It is not impossible that this is where the name of the Blade is derived from, as the cutlass is a form of blade. The Blade is a common car in both Los Santos, and San Fierro. The Blade is a gang car for the San Fierro Rifa, so it makes it easy to find in territories
controlled by that gang. It is also driven by civilians as well.
Owing to the fact it is a lowrider it can be modified at the Loco Low Co. shop in Los Santos. Providing the car is modified with hydraulics (occasionally cars may spawn with them, but they cost $1500 in a modification shop), you can use it to take part in the lowrider meet outside Unity Station, in Los Santos.
Performance
The Blade has a surprisingly high speed, and very sharp steering. This can make it something of a hidden gem. However, due to the sharp steering, the car is very twitchy and can spin out extremely easily. Driving at high speed in a Blade is something of a challenge, due to the fact that it can easily be disturbed by turns. The Blade can take a reasonable amount of damage, though it does not fare well against explosive weapons.
