DF8-90



The Imponte DF8-90 is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is a four-door sedan, and is fairly uncommon in traffic.

Description
This car has a highly debatable design, however it takes many design cues from a Pontiac G6 (main styling/shape, and the bottom of the front clip), a 1999–2005 Pontiac Grand Am (the greenhouse/roof), a Saturn Ion (the shape of the back doors); although the headlights look close to the ones on an Ion, judging by the narrowness, they are closer to a 2005-present Honda Civic; the taillights look somewhat like that of a 1992-1999 Pontiac Bonneville (the reverse lights integrated on the strip with "IMPONTE" on it seems similar to the ones on 1995-1999 Chevy Luminas, the actual strip itself is closer to the Bonneville). The blacktop gimmick (it appears with in some occasions) is probably inspired from the Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse (however they only have two doors instead of four). Overall, the vehicle is most comparable to a Saturn Ion.

Despite its near similar design, the DF8-90 is available in three different variants, each identifiable by the presence of a spoiler or the type of spoilers used, their performance, and their badges on the trunk lid. The base variant, which has no apparent indication of what engine it has, has no spoiler; the V6 Sport variant, however, features a basic spoiler and slightly improved performance, while the top-of-the-line V8 Turbo (Imponte Racing) variant features a curved spoiler. Otherwise, all three variants share the exact same body and range of body colors, as well as performance traits.

Performance
All DF8-90s share the same performance and build. Acceleration is very good, among the best in it's class (RWD 4-door sedans). The high-output V6/V8 gives the DF8-90 a very good top speed. Braking is fair, even though ABS is available on this model. Handling is fair, though it may take heavy braking to be able to corner. The suspension is firm, keeping the DF8-90 level on long banked curves. Accident deformation is acceptable, and it can sustain multiple frontal impacts before being un-drivable or catching fire.

Locations
The DF8-90 can be spotted rarely in traffic, but has been known to spawn in:


 * Lower Easton, Algonquin
 * The Triangle, Algonquin
 * Chinatown, Algonquin

Locations
A parked DF8-90 can be found in a parking lot under the train tracks in the Hove Beach area as part of a stolen car delivery mission for Stevie. It sells for approximately $5,500 at Stevie's garage in Bohan.
