The Stafford is a vintage, ultra-luxury four-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the After Hours update, released on July 31st, 2018, during the Tale of Us Residency Week event. It is manufactured by Enus in the HD Universe.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Stafford's front fascia and body design is based on the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II model of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. The Stafford is notable for being significantly smoother, longer, wider and taller than most other sedans.
Grand Theft Auto Online
Template:Next-GenThe car returns again as a luxury Rolls-Royce inspired car, albeit assuming an older design, mainly based around the 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Both the front fascia and rear fascia of the vehicle are largely inspired by the 1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, as indicated by the grille design and structure, the headlights, front and rear bumpers with overriders, and the rear light cluster. The front bumper also appears with additional lamps mounted onto it, and directional markers on top of the fenders, also inspired by the Silver Wraith. Some of the side profiling is also reminiscent of the Silver Cloud and, to a lesser extent, the Rolls-Royce Phantom V, featuring extensive fender lines and body curves.
Being a classic car, the Stafford sports plenty of chrome elements, namely the handles, license plate lights, grille, bumpers, headlamps, window borders and wing mirrors. The car also features chrome hubcaps and white wall tyres by default.
Inside the car, the Stafford reuses the Roosevelt's interior, with small additions and removals; a chrome center mirror has been mounted on the center dashboard, a small radio set is attached underneath the dashboard, the gear shifter has been removed and ancillary control handles have been added to the steering column. The door panels also feature door cards with handles and window crank handles. Like the real counterpart, the Stafford features two chairs positioned closely together in the front and a bench seat in the rear. It also features a bonnet composed of two hatches and the boot has an elevated compartment with a hatch, likely for the spare wheel.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The car's ride and brakes perform more smoothly when compared to other vehicles. The car's performance is average-to-good. With average acceleration and a good top speed, the car is considerably speedy, however its heavy weight and rear-wheel-drive drivetrain may result in some significant oversteer, or even spin-outs when accelerating during a turn. Its height, combined with a wheelbase too narrow to compensate, makes the car somewhat unstable, and its durability is average.
It can be noted that driving the Stafford boosts CJ's sex appeal significantly, which makes it a car of choice to pick up girlfriends.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Stafford appears to be powered by a V8 engine with a RWD configuration. Acceleration is terrible and top speed is somewhat below average. The car's low torque will make it struggle when climbing steep slopes, but this also results in minimal wheel spin when taking off. Braking is average. Handling wise, the steering feels firm and is adequate when slowly driving around corners, but tends to understeer at higher speeds. The suspension is rather soft and bouncy, as fitting for a vehicle designed for luxury. Body roll can be seen when turning.
Overall the Stafford is much better suited for cruising around at lower speeds and for situations where high intensity driving is not required.
