The Idaho is a coupe featured in all games in the 3D Universe, except Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design[]

3D Universe[]

Depicted as a large, two-door 1970s coupe with a vinyl roof, the Idaho's styling most notably reflects a fourth generation Buick Riviera. The front more closely resembles a 1975/'76 Chevy Caprice (with added turning signals). The Grand Theft Auto Advance rendition is depicted with a dimension dissimilar to that of other Idaho's, with a shorter front end and a smoother front profile, but retaining a different top color.

The Idaho has looked virtually the same in most games it has appeared in, with noticeable tweaks and changes in minor details, mainly on its wheels and windscreens. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition, in particular, received better detailing, but the game's rendition was not carried over to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, as it has been for most other vehicles from GTA Vice City. Instead, GTA Vice City Stories reuses the Grand Theft Auto III or Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories rendition of the Idaho.

During development of GTA III, the Idaho was named the "Hachura", a name previously used for another car in Grand Theft Auto 2. Furthermore, one of the two rusty/burned out car wrecks that can be seen in most of the 3D Universe games use a similar model as the beta version of the GTA III Idaho.

Performance[]

3D Universe[]

Due to its heavy build and soft suspension, the Idaho lacks serious performance credentials, with poor speed and steering. This places the car at a standing that is even lower than that of an Esperanto, but is still faster than a Manana. Braking is rather poor, with no ABS at all. It is in GTA III one of the only two cars (the other being the FBI Kuruma) to actually scrape its front bumper on the ground when fully braking. A good strategy is to use the handbrake instead of the regular brakes to turn corners. The vehicle suffers the same braking problem as the Esperanto, where (especially in GTA III, where Claude cannot jump from a moving car) an Esperanto travelling at high speed on fire can be lethal for the player inside it. Short of crashing into an obstacle like a tree, the player has little chance to escape before it blows up.

  • The LCPD dispatch refers to the Idaho as a convertible, even though the car is only available as a hardtop.
  • The vehicle was due to appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas but was dropped during development.
  • In the Xbox and mobile versions of GTA III, the Idaho has unique chrome trim along the wheel wells.
