The engine is defended by a large amount of metal on its bulky and reinforced front, also counting to its strength and durability. The engine sound identical to that of the Vapid Dominator‘s, Imponte Phoenix‘s and Albany Buccaneer‘s, being loud and roary. Considering its age, ABS is unsurprisingly not available on the Imponte Dukes. The large rear drum brakes, coupled with the large steel body and weak and undersized front discs make for extended stopping distances and front wheel lockup. Braking on the Dukes is, as expected, poor. The Imponte Dukes’ handling characteristics and poor suspension requires cautious use of the gas and steering, as the car can easily spin out and fishtail. Acceleration is thus lacking, but the Dukes has a decent top speed of 252 km/h.
Unfortunately, most of the power cannot be transferred to the road due to the heavy steel body, small number of available gears, and relatively small, undersized tires that result in wheel slip under full throttle in low gear. The Imponte Dukes is powered by a supercharged 7.4 L V8 coupled to a four-speed gearbox in a FR layout, pumping out a whopping 750 horsepower. The body styling takes cues from many Dodge and Pontiac cars of the 1960s and 1970s. The taillights resemble those of the 1970 Dodge Challenger and 1967 Chevrolet Impala with hints from the Charger. The Imponte name can also be found on the right grille of the front bumper, similar to the Pontiac name found on 1968-1969 Firebirds. It appears to be chiefly modeled after the 1968-1970 Dodge Charger, while the front bumper appears based on the 1969 Pontiac LeMans, GTO or the 1968-1969 Firebird. The Imponte Dukes is a 2-door muscle car featured in the enhanced version of GTA 5. The Dukes is the quintessential American muscle car: aggressive 1970s styling, a large engine, and a low, roaring exhaust note.
