When introduced in GTA III (and, later, in GTA Liberty City Stories), the Esperanto features a slightly curvy profile and flatter details. The GTA Vice City rendition (as well as the GTA Vice City Stories rendition) received a major retouch with the vehicle featuring a more angular body design, detailed fascia and rear fin that slant forward. GTA San Andreas' Esperanto is essentially similar in design as that of GTA Vice City, but noticeably sports differences in the rear, with its tailfin-based taillights reduced in height (implying they are now part of the rear bumper) and its rear license plate relocated from the trunk lid to the bumper. Similarly, the GTA Advance rendition maintains much of the psychical traits of previous Esperanto's as seen from the top down. | When introduced in GTA III (and, later, in GTA Liberty City Stories), the Esperanto features a slightly curvy profile and flatter details.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the [[Albany]] Esperanto is very different to the earlier renditions. Rather than being a large two-door coupe, the new car is a mid-sized four-door sedan. Its styling inspiration appears to be a pastiche of common late-70s/early-80s American car styling. The bumpers, sides and bustle-back styling (a majority of the chassis) is based on the [[wp:Lincoln Continental Mark VII|Lincoln Continental Mark VII]], however, converted into a four door sedan | [[Image:Esperanto (GTA4) (front).jpg|thumb|300px|right|An Esperanto in GTA IV (<small>[[:Image:Esperanto (GTA4) (rear).jpg|Rear quarter view]]</small>).]] | ||

The grille and headlights are similar to a [[wp:Chevrolet Malibu#Fourth generation 1978-1983|1982/1983 Chevrolet Malibu]] (the shorter width of the grille makes it look like a 1984-'85 [[wp:Chevrolet Celebrity|Chevrolet Celebrity]], but the Albany signature on the grille and flatter headlights are more like the Malibu); and the taillights seem based on a [[wp:Pontiac Bonneville#1977-1981|'80-'81 Pontiac Bonneville]]/[[wp:Pontiac Parisienne|'85-'86 Pontiac Parisienne]], the reverse lights could also suggest some other luxury cars. The combined look seems to emulate an early [[wp:Cadillac Seville|Cadillac Seville]] as it is commonly mistaken for one. | |||
