[[Image:DukesEngineIV.png|thumb|250px|A Dukes' supercharged engine in GTA IV.]] | |||
The Dukes has a 450ci supercharged V-8 engine producing 750bhp. Unfortunately, a lot of this is wasted because the engine is producing more power than can be transferred to the wheels, which results in wheel slip under full throttle in the low gears; acceleration is thus well below average, but the Dukes has a refreshing top speed. Lending to its design generation (Early-to mid 1960/70s), the Dukes has one of the softest suspensions in GTA IV, making it flop heavily in turns and giving it massive oversteer that inexperienced drivers may find hard to control; with effort, the oversteer can be transferred to drifting, making the Dukes one of the most impressive driftable vehicles in-game. The Dukes' handling results in a "flamboyant" driving style of constant fishtails, burnouts, 180s and power slides. Braking on the Dukes is, as expected, poor. The large rear drum brakes, coupled with the weak and undersized front discs make for extended stopping distances and front wheel lockup. Unsurprisingly, considering its age, ABS is not available on the Dukes. | The Dukes has a 450ci supercharged V-8 engine producing 750bhp.
