The Karin Dilettante is a hybrid vehicle created as kind of a joke for Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the 2004-2009 Toyota Prius, with headlights from a 2006 - 07 Citroen C4. According to an radio advertisement in the game, the Dilettante is worth $39,999 brand new, at least $20,000 more than the real life Prius is worth.

The word Dilettante means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur. It can also mean amateurish or superficial. It has later been suspected that Rockstar named the car (and company) after a video game violence researcher, Karen Dill [1], but it hasn't been confirmed.

Performance

As being an electric hybrid,it is slow. It takes more than ten seconds to reach it's top speed, which means making a getaway in this car is not recommended. It is FWD, so it can make 180 turns and getaway swerves easily.
