The Annis Pinnacle is a four-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Influence

The Pinnacle is mostly based on the sixth generation Nissan Maxima, as seen in the overall shape and midsection, with major influence taken from the Ford Five Hundred, as seen in both the front and rear fascias. The Pinnacle appears to borrow some elements from the first-generation Nissan Teana, the third-generation Nissan Altima, and the first-generation Ford Focus sedan. The lettering on the strip above the license plate recess is similar to that on many 1990s Infinitis and Mitsubishis.

The name "Pinnacle" may be a play on "Maxima," as both of the names suggest an uppermost extreme.

Performance

The Pinnacle is, according to badging, powered by a 3.5L V8 engine (suggested by the cover), which is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in an front-engine, rear wheel drive layout. The engine pulls strongly, launching the vehicle off the line quickly to 60 mph and giving it a high top speed. Braking is adequate but not great, often requiring great distances to come to a complete halt. The suspension is firm, but due to its shallow maximum wheel angle, the Pinnacle corners very poorly even at slow speeds. The ride is very firm, and unsettled.

Engine build quality is mediocre, causing the engine to fail after only a few frontal impacts; pedestrian safety is also poor with a high chance of the pedestrian being crushed. The windows are big enough for a person to fairly easily shoot the occupants. In the frontal offset, the front occupants have an estimated 40% chance of windshield ejection, which is acceptable for its class.

Its engine sound is shared with that of the Feltzer.

Trivia

• The badging on the car reads "3.5Z", an obvious reference to the Nissan Maxima, since all sixth generation Maxima's feature 3.5-liter engines. The name may also be a reference to the Nissan 350Z sports car.
