Field Assessment
The standard Sultan is a good car. The Sultan RS is what happens when someone takes a good car and removes everything that made it comfortable, replaces it with a roll cage and a stiffer suspension, then turns up the turbo. It is not a subtle upgrade. The wide-body kit announces itself. The exhaust announces itself louder.
In Leonida, the RS sits in the space between serious track tool and Vice City street flex. The AWD system gives it traction that most rear-wheel cars cannot match out of a corner, and on the wet asphalt around the port or the loose gravel of the rural routes, that advantage becomes decisive. It is not the fastest car in a straight line. It is the car that takes corners faster than the car behind it and exits them already accelerating.
The turbo flutter on lift-off is audible. The anti-lag crackle on downshift is louder. On tight parking deck sequences you can hear where it is before you can see it. That is either useful intelligence or a significant tactical liability, depending on which side of a pursuit you are on.
