The Imponte Arbiter GT is a two-door muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Expanded & Enhanced Edition of the game.
Influence[]
The Arbiter GT seems to be predominantly inspired by various model years of the second-generation Pontiac GTO, particularly the 1970 GTO model. It draws significant design elements from the 1968–1969 models, especially evident in the lower front profile, side skirts, and rear fascia. The grille is more pronounced than that of the 1970 GTO, resembling the design of the 1971–1972 GTO. The headlights bear a resemblance to those found on the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle. Additionally, the hood is akin to that of the Australian Chrysler VJ Valiant Charger, while the rear bumper and tail lights appear to be influenced by the 1972 Ford Torino.
Modifications[]
- The "Racer Hood" and "Dash Spoiler" options are inspired by the Judge package for the 1969–1971 Pontiac GTO.
- The "Extended Intake Hood" option is seemingly based on the twin-scoop hood on the 1970–1975 Pontiac Firebird Formula.
Liveries[]
- The "Imponte Stripes" livery is inspired by the Judge package for the 1969–1971 Pontiac GTO.
- Judging from the gradient color design, the livery may also be inspired by the full-length lazer stripe used on the 1972 and 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport.
- The "Arbiter Stripes" livery resembles the C-shaped stripes from the 1968 Ford Torino GT Fastback.
- The "White Fin" livery is derived from the 1974–1976 Ford Torino featured in the 1970s television series Starsky & Hutch.
Design[]
The front of the car features a small section with a set of rectangular indicators on either side and a narrow opening in the center, which exposes part of the radiator. On the upper area, there is a rounded mesh grille with a "450GT" badge on the driver side and a set of dual circular headlights beside it, while the hood area features a protruding center and slightly impressed areas near the windshield. The same hood lid opens to reveal the engine bay.
On the sides, the car features small marker/indicator units on both ends and single body lines passing just above the curved wheel arches, along with distinctive formations on the lower areas that almost reach the rear arches, traditional door handles and "450GT" badges on the front fenders. The cabin area makes use of square mirrors mounted on the doors, inner separations and curved rear-quarter windows, as well as a curved rear section and traditional trunk lid.
On the rear end, the car bears the Imponte badges on the end of the trunk lid and a large bumper with a small molding for the license plate below. The outer edges of the same rear bumper house wide tail lights, each one consisting of red main/brake units on the inner side and small reverse units on the outer side. The bottom of the car has small molding for the twin exhaust pipes. When converted, a Hao’s Special Works badge will also appear on the passenger side, on the end of the trunk lid.
The interior of the vehicle is shared with the Gauntlet Classic, sharing the same dial set and details such as the wood paneling and traditional gear stick, with the steering wheel bearing the Imponte logo in the center.
The primary color covers the majority of the vehicle’s body, the engine and the interior stitching, with the secondary color covering the trim detail on the headlights, frame and rear bumper. It shares the same wheel design as the Sabre Turbo and the Ellie, being a derivative of the "Muscle Freak" muscle wheels available in Los Santos Customs and other mod shops.
Performance[]
The car is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a 3-speed gearbox in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It shares the engine sound with the Dominator, the Ruiner and the Tulip.
The poor tire grip and relatively soft suspension make the Arbiter GT very challenging to drive. The car can be unwieldy when cornering, often displaying significant oversteer. The suspension also has a tendency to bounce, causing the car to easily lose control over uneven surfaces.
