 In GTA IV and GTA V, the Emperor, given an [[Albany]] badge, is based on a [[wp:Cadillac DeVille#1977 - 1984|'78 or '79 Cadillac Deville]] or [[wp:Cadillac Fleetwood#1977-1986 .28RWD.29|Fleetwood]], judging by the front bumper, with a flattened front end and no hood ornament. The greenhouse is closer to a 1980-1984 Deville/1980-1986 Fleetwood; the rear could also be from these cars since their trunks have more subtle creases (the Emperor has extremely subtle creases on the trunk). It features a "[[Wrecks|beater]]" version of the Emperor, with junky paint finishes, worn interiors, an occasionally missing quarter panel, damaged headlight, broken left indicator and old wheels and tires.

 GTA IV's Emperor is powered by a low-output V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Due to its weight and low-power engine, the Emperor is quite slow off the line, and its top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) leaves much to be desired (while the beater Emperor can only reach 125 km/h (77 mph)). Its soft suspension often results in its rear swinging out of control and subtle fishtailing. Braking is very poor, and strangely, for a vehicle that's designed to be reminiscent of late 1970s/early 1980s cars, ABS is available, although not standard. Crash deformation is below average, and build quality is surprisingly low: as the Emperor cannot sustain much damage before failing or catching fire.

 ** [[Massive B Soundsystem 96.9]] or [[Tuff Gong Radio]] in GTA IV.
 * Oddly, in GTA IV, there's also a car company called [[Emperor (manufacturer)|Emperor]], a Lexus parody, but the car Emperor is made by [[Albany]], a Cadillac parody (which is more fitting for this car). Yet the GTA San Andreas rendition seems to be more fitting for the Emperor brand since it is a Japanese luxury car.
+* After completion of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], Emperors can be sold at [[S&M Auto Sales]] for $2,500 each if delivered in perfect condition, regardless of whether the Emperor delivered is a regular variant or a beater variant.

 * In GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars, the tail end of an Emperor is incorporated into an Emperor advertising in [[Star Junction]]. It is meant to emulate the [http://nyc-architecture.com/MID/MID-TimesSquare.htm real-life Cadillac signage] on display on 2 Times Square since 1998.

+** The dynamic advertisement in [[Star Junction]] shows a slightly different model of the car, although hard to see. It appears to have a different front end, with the grille being more prominent and a slightly different bumper, and clearly, a higher ride height, along with what looks to be wheels off of the [[Virgo]].
