The Imponte DF8-90 is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is a four-door sedan, and is fairly uncommon in traffic.
Description
The DF8-90 is a mixture of a few vehicles, but can mostly be distinguishable as a Pontiac Grand Prix, with some references to other sedans of this type.
the DF8-90 is available in three different variants, each identifiable by the presence of a spoiler or the type of spoilers used, their performance, and their badges on the trunk lid. The base variant, which has no apparent indication of what engine it has, has no spoiler; the V6 Sport variant, however, features a basic spoiler, while the top-of-the-line V8 Turbo (Imponte Racing) variant features a curved spoiler. Otherwise, all three variants share the exact same body and range of body colors.
Performance
Base Model
Acceleration is very good, among the best in it's class (RWD 4-door sedans). The high-output V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox gives the DF8-90 base a very good top speed. Braking is fair, even though ABS is available on this model. Handling is fair, though it may take heavy braking to be able to corner. The suspension is firm, keeping the DF8-90 level on long banked curves. Accident deformation is acceptable, and it can sustain multiple frontal impacts before being un-drivable or catching fire.
V6 Sport
Due to the lighter weight of the smaller V6, acceleration has improved in the V6 Sport model. Handling and braking remain the same of the other models, as does crash deformation.
V8 Turbo
The V8 has a slightly lower engine note than the V6 and base models, and has a noticeably faster shift time. Off the line, it is slower than the V6 sport but has a slightly higher top speed. Braking becomes slightly better in the V8 Turbo model as well. Handling and crash deformation remain the same.
Locations
The DF8-90 can be spotted rarely in traffic, but has been known to spawn in:
A parked DF8-90 without black-tinted roof can be found in a parking lot under the train tracks in the Hove Beach area in Broker as part of a stolen car delivery mission for Stevie. It sells for approximately $5,500 at Stevie's garage in Bohan.
