The Diablo Stallion is a two-door gang car, based on the Stallion, featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The car is known simply as the Diablo in GTA Advance.

Overview

Design

The Diablo Stallion is essentially the gang car of the Diablos gang in GTA III, GTA Advance and GTA Liberty City Stories. Distinguishable by its black body with painted flames running across the bottom of the sides and a supercharger clearly visible on the top of the hood, the Diablo Stallion also is the only hardtop Stallion in the games it is featured in and has noticeably lower ground clearance. The GTA Advance rendition is only color black, purple and red with no visible painted flames.

While both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories feature conventional Stallions alongside the Diablo variant, GTA Advance doesn't.

Performance

The Diablo Stallion is an eight-cylinder, customized classic with tons of torque and high-end performance. The main drawback is that there were few to no modifications to the Stallion's suspension (despite a lowered ride height), meaning that although the car can go very fast, it doesn't corner well.

Trivia

  • A black Stallion with a flame paint job (similar to a Diablo Stallion) appears in Bully during Shop Class. Although the Stallion does not have a hood-mounted supercharger.
  • King Courtney's spoken orders in the GTA III mission Gangcar Round-up incorrectly state that the Diablo gang car is an Infernus. The subtitles, however, call it a Stallion. The mission entails stealing one of their modified Stallions, as well as a Mafia Sentinel and a Yakuza Stinger, for attacks on these gangs.
