Dukes

Dukes with hood blower

The Imponte Dukes is a two-door muscle car found exclusively in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based off of a 1969 Dodge Charger (the name is a reference to the show, "The Dukes of Hazzard").

Design

Since Imponte is based off Pontiac, the Dukes may have been meant to emulate a first generation Pontiac Firebird, but it still looks closer to a Charger. Dukes are quite popular in the borough of Bohan, and some of them are found with Roots blowers and bug-catcher scoops, all with '750 HP' written on each side - referring to its insanely powerful 750 bhp V8. Despite having such a powerful engine, the Dukes isn't that fast and has a moderate top speed.

Like most other muscle cars based on 1960s or 1970s models, the Dukes has power to spare but needs improvement in handling. They have a strong tendency to oversteer and the rear tires often cop a bit of a smoking under hard acceleration. They do, however, make great burnout/skid cars, with the car being able to keep the tires smoking for long distances.
