Buffalo S

"Spotted speeding away from many Los Santos crime scenes, this is a special edition version of the updated 60s muscle car. The sports engine pack, aerodynamic body styling package and yearly upgrades make the price worthwhile."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Bravado Buffalo S is a sports sedan in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
Formerly known as the "second generation" Buffalo, it is the facelifted version of the existing Buffalo, with a supercharged engine, new front fascia, rims and tail lights, mainly based on the. The tail lights are based on the.

The Buffalo S has a much more aggressive appearance, giving it the look of the modern American sports car. The front fascia consists of a single chrome grille and a set of dual headlights and turning signals, one large intake on the center and two smaller ones near the tyres. A plastic separation can be found at the center, following the shape from the rest of the car. The hood features a wide bulge that starts from around the middle of the same.

On the sides, there are two small plastic panels on the front fenders bearing silver "Supercharged" lettering, as well as flat skirts with ridged details above them. The greenhouse area features plastic trims around the windows and two rear-view mirrors housed in shells with the upper half colored and the lower half finished in platic.

The rear of the car remains largely the same, except for the tail lights, consisting of a single red strip connecting the two sets from the outer edges. The portion below the central light stripe is finished in plastic, with the manufacturer emblem on the center. The rear bumper houses the rear plate and a plastic diffuser, along with the dual circular exhausts.

The car is prominently painted in a primary color for the body, with the hood bulge and roof painted in a secondary color. It uses a unique set of ten-spoke rims sharing a similar pattern to the "Mercie" sport rims seen in Los Santos Customs, with a more straighter appearance.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Buffalo S improves upon the regular Buffalo with slightly better acceleration and top speed. Outside of that, it remains mostly a half-decent car. It lacks in both acceleration and top speed when compared to other Sports cars. Its handling is remarkably boatish, lacking in response time and cornering radius. What it does right, however, is remaining stuck to the ground; the Buffalo S is a very hard car to spin out, and when it does spin out, it is also a very easy car to correct. Braking power is great and reliable. Crash deformation is acceptable, being able to shrug off a mild beating, but otherwise will fail after a decent number of hits.

Like the Buffalo, the Buffalo S is powered by a twin-cam, straight-4 engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It produces a very aggressive sound, being a high-revving sound similar to the Gauntlet and the Picador.

Notable Owners

 * Franklin Clinton owns an Ice White Buffalo S with a unique license plate that reads "FC1988". Like other Personal Vehicles, it will retain any modifications.

Grand Theft Auto V

 * As Franklin's Personal Vehicle, the Buffalo S is available at his safehouse.
 * Occasionally seen driven by Franklin when switching to him, often in a traffic jam (in most other instances, he is either riding his Bagger or has it nearby).

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Available for purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $96,000.


 * Original version
 * The Buffalo S may appear as a Target vehicle.

General

 * The default radio stations for the Buffalo S are Radio Los Santos, The Lab and West Coast Classics.
 * After the 1.14 update, the 2nd generation Buffalo has been renamed to the Buffalo S, to avoid confusion between the two models.
 * Although it is manufactured by Bravado, there is a Vapid logo on the front seat floor mats, likely reused assets from the Stanier and the Taxi.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

 * As evidenced by early game trailers, the Buffalo S was at some point meant to be a traffic vehicle. The same can be said for the Bodhi, which appeared briefly in the first GTA V trailer.
 * Franklin's Buffalo S' license plate reads "FC1988", an apparent nod to Franklin Clinton being born in 1988.
 * Despite claiming it has an intercooler, evident by the "Exposed Intercooler" modification, the car lacks any visible or audible signs of a forced-air induction system being present (turbo/supercharging). The rear badging, however, corresponds with the modification by stating the vehicle is supercharged. The S in the model's name may actually refer to this, but due to this badge also being present on the base model, it more likely simply stands for 'Sport' or 'Sports'.
 * The line "Spotted speeding away from many Los Santos crime scenes" from the website description might be a reference to Franklin, as he is known to own one, with the "crime scenes" being the events of Grand Theft Auto V involving him.
