Stallion

For other uses, see Stallion (disambiguation).

“Get 'em while they're hot. The classic Stallion muscle car's been imported from Liberty City to Los Santos. You might find some baggies or baggy rubbers tucked into the back seat, but that's part of this lady's charm. She's a dime.”

—Southern San Andreas Super Autos description, GTA Online.

The Stallion is a two-door muscle car in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V and Online as part of the Enhanced Edition upgrade. It is manufactured by Classique in GTA IV and EFLC, Vapid in GTA Chinatown Wars, and Declasse in GTA V and Online while retaining its Classique badging.

The Stallion is one of the longest-running vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series, previously appearing in the 2D Universe and the 3D Universe.

Influence

Much like its 3D Universe counterpart, the Stallion in the HD Universe is primarily based on the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible, evident by the overall design with the vertical grille bar inserts, with the headlights are now taken from the 1968–1969 models, while the greenhouse area for the hardtop and soft-top options closely resemble that of its Sport Coupe bodystyle, while the overall rear fascia remains influenced by the 1971–1972 models, albeit with additional rear lights. As with its 3D Universe rendition, the HD Universe rendition feature singular headlight units, which seems to have been influenced by either the 1973–1975 442 or the 1974–1975 Pontiac Grand Am, while the hood seems to be taken from the optional twin ram-air hood for the 1967–1968 Mercury Cougar. The 'STALLION' wordmark above the rear bumper is similar to how the 'OLDSMOBILE' wordmark on the 1971–1972 Cutlass.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

In the Nintendo DS version of GTA Chinatown Wars, the Stallion features a completely different design compare to its other appearances, which this can be clearly seen in its official papercraft model from the Rockstar Games Website. It is instead based on the 1971–1973 Ford Mustang Hardtop, with the twin ram-air hood is taken from the Mach 1 and Boss 351 variants of the SportsRoof models.

Etymology

Despite its primarily inspiration being the Oldsmobile 442, the name itself, which first adopted in the first Grand Theft Auto, is instead plays on the Ford Mustang, a model that would later serve as the main inspiration to the Dominator lineup. Both names refer to equestrian terms for horses that are not fully domesticated; a "Mustang" is "a free-roaming feral horse of the North American west that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish", while a "Stallion" is simply "a male horse that has not been neutered, castrated, or gelded". In 1967, a special version of the Ford Mustang was sold exclusively by Mainway Ford, called the Stallion Special.

Design

Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City The Stallion assumes a similar layout to the 3D Universe renditions, only with a larger body and slightly narrower front. The front fascia retains the bumper, grille and headlight placement, though the lower fog lights are no longer present. The car also retains the twin ram-air hood and opens to reveal a V8 engine with a strut brace over it, while circular mirrors are seen mounted on the front fenders, just beside the hood. The cabin area adds rear-quarter windows and a passenger-side antenna next to the trunk compartment, while the rear bumper adds two rectangular turn signals between the square red tail lights and the central license plate, though it does not have any reversing lights (similar to the Intruder and the Contender). A single exhaust pipe can be seen on the driver side.

Again, the vehicle may spawn with a colored hardtop or a black soft-top, the latter being either folded up or down. It can spawn in a variety of primary colors for the body and the hardtop, and uses a set of five-spoke wheels and medium-profile tires.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there are two versions depending of the platform:

In DS, the Stallion features a different design (see Influence), only appears with a hardtop, and is made by Vapid (seen in its official papercraft model from the Rockstar Games Website).
In PSP, the Stallion is the same one from its other appearances, but only appears with a hardtop.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online The Stallion returns in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V and Online, this time manufactured by Declasse (albeit still possessing Classique badging on the car itself). It appears relatively unchanged in terms of design from its GTA IV counterpart.

It can be obtained in two variants, the stock car and the street versions, with the latter being available in hardtop and convertible forms. When purchased, the Stallion will always spawn without a roof. Currently, the soft-top/hardtop forms can only be found spawning on the streets in Grand Theft Auto Online. Since the Freemode Events Update, however, it is possible to buy the roof in Los Santos Customs, though it still does not offer any visual modifications.

Again, the car only spawns in a single color for the body and the hardtop, and the rims were slightly changed, being similar to the "Kracka" rims seen in Los Santos Customs.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City In Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City the Stallion is easier to steer, but it will occasionally spin out of control, especially in poor weather conditions such as rain. With good power, handling, and acceleration it is easily one of the top three muscle cars in Grand Theft Auto IV, thanks to its 5.7 liter (347ci) twin-cam V8 engine, the five-speed gearbox and the FR layout. Care should be taken through corners though; despite having good grip, the Stallion is awful at keeping flat through corners. The Stallion can also be quite bumpy on the road. Braking is below average. Durability is poor, as the vehicle can only take few hits before catching fire.

The vehicle uses a loud engine sound, shared with muscle cars such as the Sabre GT and the Dukes.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars The Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars rendition adopts a combination of performance traits of previous renditions, with high top speed and acceleration and good steering, but very poor grip as a result of excess torque, resulting in the Stallion skidding frequently, even in slight turns. It competes with the Dukes.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online In Grand Theft Auto V and Online, the Stallion shares the same engine and drivetrain, but sporting different performance, having worse acceleration than in GTA IV, but a higher top speed, and much better handling. The car no longer spins out of control when cornering at high speeds.

Again, the car has a 5.7 liter (347ci) twin-cam V8 engine, a five-speed gearbox and an FR layout. It uses a low-revving sound shared with cars like the Buccaneer and the Blade.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

The driver and passenger side front windows spawn regardless of whether the roof(s) are present or not. This is due to the vehicle flag FLAG_EXTRAS_CONVERTIBLE, which prevents windows from spawning with the first extra component (the folded roof), being mistyped as EXTRAS_CONVERTIBLE.
All Stallions in Grand Theft Auto V spawn with a license plate reading "SA Exempt" by default, which is usually dedicated to law enforcement/emergency vehicles (unless the car is modified). This is caused by a lack of plate type variation data in the carvariations.meta file, causing the game to resort to the police/government plate. The same issue is also present on the Dukes.
Driving a topless Stallion in first-person view during rainy weather will still cause the game to act as if the car has a roof.

Trivia

General

The Stallion is the longest surviving car in the Grand Theft Auto series, and also one of the most frequently featured civilian cars in the series, appearing in 9 out of 12 GTA games, the exceptions being the two Grand Theft Auto: London expansion packs, Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto Advance, although the Diablo variant appears in the latter.

A papercraft model of the **Stallion**, available for download on the Rockstar Games Website.

The interior of the Grand Theft Auto IV Stallion features some writing and a photograph of an old-styled steamroller taped to the dashboard, its purpose being largely unknown. The same interior is reused in the Rhapsody, but the photograph is substituted with one depicting what seems to be Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World.
Under the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars section of the Rockstar Games Website, members may download a printable papercraft model of a Stallion. The papercraft model is based on the Nintendo DS version of the car, featuring a different design and a Vapid logo on its grille instead of the Classique logo and nameplate.
