The FIB Buffalo is a vehicle used by the FIB in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

Unlike the Buffalo featured in previous installments of the series, it is not based on a Camaro, but is actually based on a Police Edition Dodge Charger R/T (and as with most cars some things have been rearranged, most noticeably the taillights, headlights and rear license plate). Despite the fact there are advertisements of the Buffalo around the city, the car does not come in a civilian model.

The Buffalo is not as tough as might be expected from its appearance or name. It has a flimsy construction and succumbs rather quickly to machine gun bullets, a possible reason being the car is required to go fast, and as a result has a light chassis. The FIB Buffalo has two sets of blue and red emergency lights, one set in the front grill, the other in the rear windshield. Unlike the previous Buffalos, the FIB Buffalo does not use a V8 engine, rather a modest-sounding six-cylinder. The FIB Buffalo is one of several in GTA IV car manufacturer Bravado's car lineup.

The FIB Buffalo is only seen when the player earns a wanted level of at least four stars, or activates a cheat code.

Trivia

• An easy way to get one is to steal one and drive to your safehouse in the mission "To Live and Die in Alderney".
• The FIB Buffalo has both blue and red lights, (whilst the LCPD car has white and red), because the emergency car colours, red and blue, are illegal in Liberty State (New York State, this explains why LCPD/NYPD cars have red and white lights). Because it is a federal car, it is exempt from the law.
