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.
