Faction

The Willard Faction is a two-door coupé found in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Design
The Faction is designed as a 1980's American sports coupe, depicted with a T-Top roof and front end fog lights. Some Factions are also equipped with a small hood scoop.



The Faction resembles a 1982-1987 Buick Regal (similar to the Majestic in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas). Details and portions of the design take cues from the Buick Grand National and Regal T-Type. The rear of the Faction, particularly the tail lights, take design cues from the Nissan 240RS Group B car.

Performance
Powered by a turbocharged 6.6 L V8 engine, the Faction is a fun car to drive with a high-torque engine up front. Combined with the FR drivetrain, handbrake turns are smooth yet controllable. ABS is standard, giving the brakes good stopping ability. Top speed is 170 mph (274 km/h), and is reached fairly quickly due to its high acceleration.
