It is primarily based on the Subaru Impreza GC8, with major influence from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V, seen primarily in the front fascia. The Sultan Classic acts as a classic predecessor of the original Sultan and, at the same time, an HD Universe equivalent to its 3D Universe rendition. However, as of the Sultan Classic Week event, it became available for purchase.
The Sultan Classic was initially featured as a mission-only vehicle in the ' Getaway Vehicles' preparation and later used as a possible getaway vehicle in the Casino Heist.
