Presidente
The Albany Presidente is a four-door luxury sedan found in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
Design
The Presidente is largely based on a first generation Cadillac CTS, with the back resembling the second generation CTS, and the headlights reminiscent of the fifth generation Volkswagen Jetta (they are somewhat wider than the headlights of the second generation CTS). After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Presidente fetching $2,500. The base model is depicted with a 4.5l V10 engine.
Performance
The Presidente's engine is coupled to a 6 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is fair, but, due to its weight, the Presidente has an unexciting top speed. Handling is fair, but suffers from mild understeer due to the up-front weight of the V10 engine. The suspension is moderately firm, evening out some bumps while keeping the vehicle somewhat flat in the corners. Braking is above average, and ABS is standard across the line-up. Crash deformation is surprisingly poor for this vehicle, and after one to two crashes it is known to pull to one side. The engine is somewhat sturdy and can survive a few impacts before failing.
Variants
"SPORT" SuperCharged V-10 variants of the Presidente are driven by the Korean Mob. Based on the Cadillac CTS-V, the variant has a different front grille with a supercharged badge, black rims, and a rear spoiler. There is no performance difference.
