The '''Stretch''' is a four-door "stretch" limousine which has appeared in the following games:

* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]

* [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]

* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]

* [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]

==Overview==

* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], it resembles the [[Wikipedia:Lincoln Town Car#Second generation|second generation Lincoln Town Car]], albeit with tail-lights resembling a Cadillac.

* The inspiration for [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]'s Stretch is uncertain due to the lack of detail.

Despite being a limousine, it is a 4-door vehicle, meaning it is only capable of carrying 4 passengers. Trunk-mounted "boomerang" TV antennae are depicted in the GTA Vice City, GTA Advance, GTA Vice City Stories and GTA IV renditions of the Stretch, with the GTA IV rendition featuring two additional antennas. Detailing within the passenger compartment of the limousines vary between games but remained largely unremarkable until GTA IV, wherein the passenger compartment features LED lighting in the floor and ceiling, a mini-bar and two television screens. GTA IV's Stretch also features more durable windows (particularly side windows) than other cars in the game - they can withstand a significant amount of gunfire before shattering.

The Stretch comes in somewhat limited color variations: in GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, it is available in only dark grey, light grey and white, with a black variant available in two GTA III missions; in GTA Vice City, it is only available in white, with the exception of a gold variant used by [[Candy Suxxx]] during "[[Martha's Mug Shot]]", and a black variant used by [[Avery Carrington]] during cutscenes for his missions (unobtainable to the player); in GTA San Andreas, it is available only in white, but can be modified and painted any color in a [[Transfender]] workshop; note, however, that only the upper portion of the Stretch can be given a custom color (one Stretch can be found during the mission "[[Jizzy (mission)|Jizzy]]" that is black on the lower portion, although obtaining this Stretch is extremely difficult).

===Performance===

== Variants ==

During the mission "[[Martha's Mug Shot]]" in GTA Vice City, there is a chance to obtain a specially colored gold Stretch. After Candy is dropped off, the Stretch will park itself on the road just south of Malibu Club. The player can proceed with the mission normally up until the point where a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]] is received. After clearing the wanted level, the player can obtain the Stretch by shooting the driver and proceed to complete the mission normally while in the Stretch. In the [[Grand Theft Auto Double Pack|Double Pack]] versions, the driver is immune from being shot inside the car. The alternate way is to burn the car to get the driver out. The doors remain "locked" so attempt to keep it opened when not in the Stretch. After the mission is passed, the Stretch can be saved normally.

==== GTA San Andreas ====

There is, though, a much easier way: Obtain the Black Stretch (see previous section), then take it to a [[TransFender]], choose "Colors" and put the car's color in white. The bottom will stay black.
