The Willard Marbelle is a four-door car available in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Overview
Design
The Marbelle's styling is blend of 1970s/1980s North American Ford Granadas and Lincolns. The car's headlights somewhat resemble a 1977–1979 Lincoln Versailles, but the taillights are much closer to a 1981-1984 Lincoln Town Car. The sides, front bumper, windows,and roof pillars from the 1975-1980 Ford Granadas (these are also very similar to the 1977/1978 Lincoln Versailles); there are also vents surrounding the headlights much like the ones from the 1975-1977 Granadas.
Performance
The Marbelle's performance is average in all respects, and power comes from what is assumed to be a 4.0 Liter V6 as stated by the engine sound; although it might also be a low revving V8, however this is less likely. Its performance is comparable to the Emperor, though its marginally smaller size results in slightly superior handling and a little less body roll. The Marbelle has slightly higher ground clearance than most sedans, making it better able to drive over curbs. Its top speed is 135 km/h (84 mph). Like most sedans in the game, it is rear-wheel drive.
The car may be sold at Stevie's S&M Auto Sales for a maximum of $1,500 (in perfect condition) after completion of Stevie's Car Thefts in GTA IV.
Trivia
- The Marbelle's name may be a reference to the Ford Granada's name as both Granada and Marbella both being names of cities in Spain.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the two default radio stations in the Marbelle are JNR - Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 and Fusion FM.
- The Marbelle has a unique horn.
- If the car goes through the Pay n' Spray multiple times, once the car reaches black, the colors will only loop through: White, Blue, and Black.
- The Marbelle has a door ajar chime, which is well audible when in a quiet area and turning up the volume.
Locations
- A Marbelle is parked in the underground parking garage in Lancaster, Algonquin northwest of the East Borough Bridge (two blocks east of Middle Park), that was used in the TBOGT's mission "Going Deep", and Jeff's second random encounter.
- One can be found on Wenrohronon Ave. in Broker with an Esperanto, parked on the side of the road near a small construction site before the road ends, where it is also available in multiplayer modes.
Notable owners
- Vladimir Glebov owns a light blue Marbelle, which is proven during Clean Getaway and Uncle Vlad.
- Ray Bulgarin owns a black Marbelle which is seen during Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
