The Willard Elegant (known as Elegance in the beta) is a four-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

The car is mostly based on the Eighth Generation Buick Roadmaster sedan without the rear fender skirts and a inverted grille, which resembles that of a 1985-1988 Pontiac Grand Am. Some styling comes from the Second Generation Ford Crown Victoria, through it started production in 1998, thus making this anachronistic and likely coincidental.

The Elegant is possibly a "cousin" to the Premier, since they are similar in build.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

Despite the substantial curb weight of the car, a very powerful V8 propels this rear-wheel drive monster quite impressively. Its performance attributes are very similar to those of the Premier, just on a larger frame: engine performance and handling are quite satisfying, although slight understeer is evident. This can, however, be compensated for with the E-brake around corners. Because of its mass, it cannot reach quite the same speeds as the Premier, and requires longer stopping distances. This does, however, comes with the compromise of increased durability and better ramming capabilities, and handles well in gunfights.

  • Management Issues - Three black Elegants are used to pick up Alan Crawford and his female escort after the awards ceremony at the Cathay Theater. These three Elegants (along with the other two that are driven by Alan's bodyguards) have a unique black color, as well as unique license plates.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • The car is among the earliest in the series with a manufacturer's name associated with it, with a Willard badge, as evidenced by a billboard advertising a "'92 Elegance".
  • Various Mercedes-Benz models have a sub-model called 'Elegance', attributing to the Elegant's design.
  • In Grand Theft Auto IV, a wrecked sedan prop exists, sharing several design cues as the Elegant. It is unknown if the car is based on a driveable model, like other wrecks in the game, but was dropped during development. Its location is on the railway near BOABO; the railway leads to Algonquin but ends at the water.
    • Similarly, in an artwork of a prostitute near a driver, there is a car seen behind her that looks similar to the Elegant.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

  • As indicated by the aforementioned billboard, the Elegant's appearance was significantly different at one point during development, featuring a gray bumper (oddly, the rear bumper's color matches that of the body), simpler lower mask, and GTA III / GTA Vice City styled wheels.
