The Grenadier Chimaera GT is a VERY fast car, it also has excellent off road capability.  Unfortunately, those are the only two things going for it.  This car's speed and acceleration BETTER get you out of trouble, because though the Chimaera's armor is good, there is not NEARLY enough of it, and its weapon load is one you would expect in a car half its size and cost.  The Chimaera does shine in rough country, where its stability and off-road speed are almost unmatched.  This has made the Chimaera a minor favorite of Rally racing teams.  On the highways of America, however, it is rare to see a Chimaera that has not been modified in some way.  This car was never a good seller, and Grenadier dropped the model after only three years of sales.
