In GTA IV, the [[Albany]] Washington is based on the [[:wp:Lincoln Town Car#2003 facelift|2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car]] while the headlights and grille have a slight resemblance to a [[:wp:Ford Taurus (fifth generation)|2008-2009 Ford Taurus]]. The body style is based off of the [[wp:Ford Panther platform|Ford "Panther" platform]], which the Lincoln Town Car, Ford Crown Victoria, and Mercury Grand Marquis were built on. It features "Executive" badging, much like some Town Cars. The rear portion of the car mainly represents the [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (1998–2011)|1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria]], evidenced by the shape of the trunk lid with the taillights being a slight hint to the car as well. The rim design is taken from those of the 1998-2002 Crown Victoria LX. | In GTA IV, the [[Albany]] Washington is based on the [[:wp:Lincoln Town Car#2003 facelift|2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car]] while the headlights and grille have a slight resemblance to a [[:wp:Ford Taurus (fifth generation)|2008-2009 Ford Taurus]].

Pre-GTA IV Washingtons are generally regarded as having only moderate performance, being RWD, it is largely attributed to its bulky design. Its longer wheelbase and weight, often results in understeer and poor cornering, while its size may also be a factor in its moderate acceleration, and its top speed is also estimated to be moderate. Nevertheless, its superior size and weight allows the Washington to ram aside other sedans more easily. | Pre-GTA IV Washingtons are generally regarded as having only moderate performance, being RWD, it is largely attributed to its bulky design.

The Washington in GTA IV is powered by a V8, coupled to a five-speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, but due to the bulk of the vehicle it leaves much to be desired. Top speed is also good, but again due to the Washingtons weight, is limited: 135 km/h (84 mph). Braking is very good, and ABS is standard across the line up. The suspension is very soft, designed to flatten out bumps in a road; not high speed cornering, leaving the Washington fishtailing and spinning out of control when cornering at speed. Accident deformation is superb, making the Washington ideal for ramming vehicles. The engine build quality is also above average, and will sustain multiple impacts before failing. | The Washington in GTA IV is powered by a V8, coupled to a five-speed gearbox in a RWD layout.

The [[FBI Washington]] is a specialized version of this vehicle (only appearing in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories), and is the only version of the Washington in GTA Vice City that sports a dark gray paint job. Its acceleration is quite impressive, which becomes useful for catching up to distant criminals when on a [[Vigilante]] mission. In GTA Vice City Stories the car is much more harder to get however because stealing it from the FBI is more challenging rather then finding one. Also the FBI Washington can be the same color as a regular one as there are white regular Washingtons. | The [[FBI Washington]] is a specialized version of this vehicle (only appearing in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories), and is the only version of the Washington in GTA Vice City that sports a dark gray paint job.

A special wagon version of the Washington is used for the game's rendition of the [[Romero]] hearse. A Washington is also requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]]; unlike most vehicles in the side mission, the Washington appears with a black body color that is not unique, as many black Washington's can be seen around Algonquin. | A special wagon version of the Washington is used for the game's rendition of the [[Romero]] hearse.
