The front end of the car features a dominant grille which decreases in width as it gets closer to the lower edge of the bumper. Unlike Audi models, this grille only occupies the upper half of the front face, and features rounded chrome edges with two horizontal chrome strips. Directly below the grille there are two ducts which have circular fog-lamps.

The main body area features a variety of curves. Close to the base of the body there is a large bulge that spans almost the entire wheelbase. Above that, at around mid-body height, a straight line connects the front quarter bulge to the rear quarter bulge. The greenhouse features very thin {{WP|Pillar(automobile)|‎B and C pillars}}, which appear to be covered by a polymer. The D pillars of the car are very long, with the intention of creating an elegant appearance.

Surprising for a sedan, the Tailgater has performance that is on par with most sports cars. Acceleration and top speed are both above average, able to hold ground against sportier vehicles such as the [[Exemplar]] or [[F620]]. It has decent grip at low to moderate speeds, but can understandably begin to understeer without use of the brakes. It is fairly durable, even in regard to deformation damage. It takes several hard blows to the engine to begin drawing smoke, and can take numerous hits before any wheels become stuck.

The Tailgater shares its engine sound with the [[Sentinel]], [[Gresley]], [[Surano]] and [[Schafter]].

*[[Michael De Santa]] owns a black Tailgater throughout most of the game. However, following a series of incidents culminating with him being drugged, Michael's family [[Did Somebody Say Yoga?|leaves him]], and Jimmy takes his car with him. Michael then takes up driving a red [[Premier]], which was most likely a rental car. It is [[Monkey Business|returned]] to Michael later in the game by Jimmy customized with the following modifications: Dollar wheels, rear bumpers <!---Which one?--->, side skirts <!---Which one?--->, lip spoiler, chrome grille, xenon lights, dark smoke windows, musical horn 5, EMS upgrade level 3, race transmission and race brakes. Like all of the cars assigned to the three protagonists, the player can customize Michael's car and it will retain these modifications whenever it respawns.

“
Luxury German Sedan. Better than a BF, but not quite a Benefactor. Fast and practical with a classy look, this is just the car to over-leverage on.
”
— Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Obey Tailgater is a four-door, mid-size executive saloon/sedan in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

Grand Theft Auto V

“
Look at this car and ask yourself what price would you place on style, status and sophistication? Then forget that price because I offer flexible payment schedules to suit any budget. Don’t let society and banks tell you what you can and can’t afford. No credit? No problem! You’re approved! I want everyone to live the American dream just like me.
”
— Simeon Yetarian.

The Tailgater car features styling elements that have been inspired by the Audi A6 (C6) for the overall body design, and the Audi A8 (D4) for the grille, lower body bulge, and ten-spoke wheels. However, the quarter panel bulges appear to have been inspired by the Audi RS6 (C6). The headlights are very similar to ones on the Holden Commodore (VZ) with projector headlight housing. The rear end of the vehicle mostly draws its inspiration from the Audi A4 (B7). The tail light units are inspired by the Ford Falcon FG X.

The front end of the car features a dominant grille, which decreases in width as it gets closer to the lower edge of the bumper. This grille only occupies the upper half of the front face, and features rounded chrome edges with two horizontal chrome strips. Directly below the grille are two ducts which have non-functional circular fog-lamps.

The main body area features a variety of curves. Close to the base of the body there is a large bulge that spans almost the entire wheelbase. Above that, at around mid-body height, a straight line connects the front quarter bulge to the rear quarter bulge. The greenhouse features very thin ‎B and C pillars, which appear to be covered by a polymer. The D pillars of the car are very long, with the intention of creating an elegant appearance.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto V

Surprising for a sedan, the Tailgater has performance that is on par with most sports cars. Acceleration and top speed are both above average, able to hold ground against sportier vehicles such as the Exemplar or F620. It has decent grip at low to moderate speeds, but can understandably begin to understeer without use of the brakes. It is fairly durable, even in regard to deformation damage. It takes several hard blows to the engine to begin drawing smoke, and can take numerous hits before any wheels become stuck.

The Tailgater shares its engine sound with the Sentinel, Gresley, Surano and Schafter.

Notable Owners

  • Michael De Santa owns a black Tailgater throughout most of the game. However, following a series of incidents culminating with him being drugged, Michael's family leaves him, and Jimmy takes his car with him. It is returned to Michael later in the game by Jimmy, though customized with the following modifications:
  1. Race Brakes
  2. Rear Painted Bumper & Diffuser
  3. EMS upgrade level 3
  4. Dual Exit Exhaust
  5. Chrome Grille
  6. Double Vented Hood
  7. Musical Horn 5
  8. Xenon Lights
  9. Sports Skirts
  10. Lip Spoiler
  11. Sports Transmission
  12. Black Dollar Lowrider wheels
  13. Dark Smoke window tint

Like all other Personal Vehicles, the player can customize Michael's car and it will retain these modifications whenever it respawns.

Locations

Grand Theft Auto V

  • After completing the mission Complications, the player can take one of the Tailgaters parked in the Premium Deluxe Motorsport shop and drive it.
  • At the end of Eye in the Sky, two Tailgaters will be left in the hangar, Franklin is instructed to take any of them, to drive away from the airport.
  • Franklin may be seen driving a red Tailgater after The Big Score is completed. (Obvious)
  • In the Strangers and Freaks mission Unknowing the Truth, there's a unique Tailgater painted on the Epsilon Program baby blue color and with the custom plates K1FFLOM. It is obtainable after completing the mission, if the player chooses not to deliver the money.
  • Appears in the towing side missions as a car to be towed after purchasing the LSPD Auto Impound. Can be obtained by entering the car and performing the character switch trick.

​Grand Theft Auto Online

Similar to story mode, the Tailgater does not appear driven on the road, despite its road-worthy appearance. Unlike story-mode, however, Online has certain fixed spawn locations which are not affected by game progress.

Trivia

General

  • The default radio stations for the Tailgater are Los Santos Rock Radio, Vinewood Boulevard Radio and Radio Mirror Park.
  • The name Tailgater is a reference to tailgating, a word for the practice of aggressively driving too close to the rear end (or Tailgate) of the car in front. This could be a reference to the stereotype that Audi owners are impatient, pretentious people.

Grand Theft Auto V

  • The Tailgater is one of many cars in GTA V that has the "Door ajar chime".
    • In addition to this, the player can hear a unlocking noise when first entering the vehicle, similar to Franklin's Buffalo S. This would suggest that the vehicle is unlocked with a remote control, like many modern cars.
  • The GPS in the middle of the console shows a map of Liberty City. This is because the interior model has been reused and modified from Grand Theft Auto IV.
  • Even though the car lacks B pillars, its passenger seatbelt anchors will appear mounted on the space between the doors.
  • The Tailgater always uses the same "Stock" horn sound.
  • Two variants of the Tailgater appears in the handling files, both appearing as "TAILGATE" and featuring almost identical handling lines. One appears to be unused.
  • The Tailgater's beta tail light unit resembles the A6 (C5) unit, with a piece added on the boot lid.
