The Fortune is a two-door coupé featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. The vehicle is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.
Influence
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Fortune bears a striking resemblance to a 1989–1993 Ford Thunderbird, incorporating certain features from the Thunderbird models of 1987-1988. The Fortune is a very simple car distinguished by its solid grille, short height, and sleek, aerodynamic design.
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Fortune, now manufactured by Vapid, features styling similar to its 3D Universe counterpart. The overall body shape still draws inspiration from the 1989–1993 Ford Thunderbird, while the front and rear bumpers, as well as the trim surrounding the car, appear to have been influenced by the 1988 Thunderbird LX model. The front end takes loose inspiration from the Toyota Corolla (E90), evident in the headlights and bonnet, with some elements influenced by the 1991–1994 Hyundai Excel (X2). The tail lights exhibit a design that somewhat reminiscent of the Infiniti J30, with a touch of influence from the 1997–1998 Lincoln Mark VIII.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Acceleration and speed are well above average, but not overly impressive with the front-engine, rear-wheel drivetrain, likely powered by a relatively small V6. Handling is satisfactory, although oversteer is evident. The brakes are strong, but the E-brake tends to throw the Fortune into an uncontrollable slide around corners, even at lower speeds.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Fortune 3.0 SR returns with a stock 3.0 V8, coupled to a 4-speed gearbox in an FR drivetrain layout. Much of the old performance is retained, keeping acceleration and a new top speed. Due to the Fortune's 4-wheel independent suspension, handling also remains good. Oversteer is still a factor, causing the rear wheels to smoke after sharp turns. Braking is very good. Accident deformation is below average, meaning the Fortune will not sustain many hits before being un-drivable. The engine however is more sturdy than the car, and will take multiple hits and gunshots before failing/catching fire.
