Dynasty

"England. 1956. In just a few years' time, Weeny are going to produce the Issi, and the automotive equivalent of a quadruple shot low fat half caff flat white is going to change the world forever. But for now, they're still the world's most respected manufacturer of middle-of-the-road, middle-class, middle-income, about-to-get-fired-from-middle-management cars. The Dynasty is their magnum opus. And in 1957, they're going to sell the design, and the subcontinent is never going to be the same again﻿..﻿."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Weeny Dynasty is a 4-door vintage saloon featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of The Diamond Casino &amp; Resort update, released on October 17, 2019, during the Dynasty Week event.

The Dynasty is mainly based on the without quarter-rear windows and some minor tweaks, but features several details which reference its Indian counterpart, the, which itself is essentially the same car with minor alterations. The front end appears to be a combination between the Hindustan Ambassador and the (especially the turning lights within the grille), although one of the grille options available in mod shops resembles the front end of the. The rear end, rear fenders and wheel design share similarities to those on the, with slight styling cues from the. Multiple modifications available for the Dynasty reference different evolutions of and the culture surrounding the Hindustan Ambassador, such as plastic-extended bumpers, numerous liveries and a taxi sign.

The Dynasty features a simplistic bodywork with various classic details; the front features a traditional chrome bumper with small overriders on the outer sides and a large chrome grille with horizontal dividers, along with turn blinkers on the outermost sides of the grille and large headlamps on the upper edges with chrome detail around. The bonnet has a bulged profile with what looks like a chrome ornament on the centre, while the area near the windscreen has two chrome hinges.

On the sides, the car has slightly bulged sections around the front and rear portions, as well as slight flares at the bottom and on the wheel arches. The doors also have horizontal handles and square-shaped mirrors mounted near the A-pillars of the cabin, which are finished in chrome. On the cabin area, the window trims and the inner separations of the front doors are also finished in chrome, while the rearmost pillars are curved in comparison to the frontal ones. Directly behind the cabin are two chrome hinges for the boot and a gas cap on the passenger side.

On the rear end, the upper edges of the car have dual tail lamps with chrome details around, each one consisting of upper main/brake lamps and lower, smaller turn blinkers. The centre of the boot has chrome detail just above the number plate, which also bears the Weeny logo on top. The bottom area has a chrome bumper with overriders near the quarter-rears of the car. A single exhaust tube can be seen on the passenger side, just below the bumper.

The interior of the car reuses the same dial set and wooden details from cars such as the Roosevelt and the Stafford. However, the dials are arranged in a way that the speedometer and tachometer are located between the steering column and the centre of the whole interior (most cars with this set usually have both main dials centred around the steering column). Various wooden panelling can be seen on the dashboard and around the radio set, with a chrome trim around it, and a glovebox compartment is present on the passenger side. The doorcards and the floormats are finished in grey leather with chrome details, and the inner side of the roof is finished in white.

The bodywork, part of the interior, and the rims are painted in a primary colour, while the cabin area and the dashboard are painted in a secondary colour. The stock wheels are rather unique, with the rims having four open sections around and a grey circular centre, wrapped in medium-profile tyres. Said rims sport a darker shade to the selected primary colour.

The performance of the Dynasty is quite underwhelming in comparison to most sedans, possibly attributed to its ageing nature. Its acceleration is rather sluggish and top speed is inferior to vehicles such as the Cheburek, but this results in generally good handling and braking. The suspension is relatively good for traversing bumpy roads and kerbs but is still a poor choice for dirt roads and off-road environments in general, as its traction is worsened, thus reducing acceleration rate and braking effectiveness.

The Dynasty has one (the eleventh) Advanced Flag enabled. The purpose of this flag is unknown, but it appears to have little impact on performance.

The Dynasty is powered by an inline-4 engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Its engine sound is high revving, resembling the sound used on most speedboats in the game.

Installing any "Deflector" modification will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.

Trivia

 * "Dynasty" is defined as "a series of leaders in the same family", which is often used in a royal family. This is somewhat related to the term "Ambassador" (the name of its main inspiration), although it may reference the fact that the Ambassador "succeeded" the Oxford III.
 * Its website description references the sale of the Oxford III's production rights to Hindustan, which produced the car as the Ambassador from 1957 to 2014. For much of its production run, the Ambassador had become a symbol of post-independence India, albeit notorious for its handling characteristics and representative of a long-restrictive car market.
 * The "Oye Taxi" livery references the model's popularity as taxicabs in India. With the correct modifications (black primary color, yellow secondary color, a roof rack modification of any type, Roadster bumpers, and the Oye Taxi livery), the Dynasty can resemble them.
 * The "Taxi" sign, one of the roof modifications, also references this, though it looks more like being used on American taxicabs.
 * The "Horn OK Please" livery is a reference to the . Truck, bus, and taxi drivers in India will paint the phrase "Horn OK Please" on the rear of their vehicle to let other drivers behind them know that they can honk their horn if they wish to pass.
 * The default radio stations for the Dynasty are The Lab, Radio Los Santos and West Coast Classics.
