Buffalo: Difference between revisions

In GTA IV and its DLCs, the [[Bravado]] Buffalo is a four-door sports sedan based on the [[wp:Dodge Charger (LX)|2006—present Dodge Charger]] with a front bearing subtle similarities to a [[wikipedia:Ford Mustang (fifth generation)|2005–2009 Ford Mustang]]. When GTA IV was originally released, the game's rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a civilian model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car in Liberty City (most prominently at the end of the [[Dukes Boulevard Station]] line in [[Steinway]], [[Dukes]]). Rather, the vehicle is initially depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|Federal Investigation Bureau]], dubbed the [[FIB Buffalo]]. The civilian Buffalo is featured as an added vehicle in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the second downloadable episode for GTA IV.

The law enforcement model is taken from the base model of the Police Package Charger as it is powered by a V6 engine, similar to the [[Police Patrol]]. Both variants have a stock body kit and plain black wheels with chrome centercaps. The FIB variant features 2 sets of emergency lights mounted on its grill and rear windshield whereas the LCPD variant has a front pushbar and V-lightbar on its roof, similar to its [[Police Patrol|Declasse]] and [[Police Cruiser|Vapid]] counterparts.

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the civilian model of the Buffalo is based on the SRT-8 version of the Charger, and features a performance body kit that includes larger exhaust ports, sport rims, bumpers, and side skirts, however the Buffalo lacks the rear spoiler and hood scoop found on the SRT-8 model.
