Blending modern performance and design with the classic luxury styling of a stately car, the Alpha is sleek, sexy and handles so well you'll forget you're driving it. Which could be a problem at 150 mph...
Legendary Motorsport description, GTA V.

The Albany Alpha is a 2-door sport coupé appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Online, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.

The Alpha previously appeared in the 3D Universe, also as a 2-door sport coupé.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

[edit | edit source]

The Alpha was added as part of The Business Update.

Grand Theft Auto VI

[edit | edit source]

The Alpha appeared in the September 2022 GTA VI leaks numerous times.[1][2][3] It is most prominently seen in one clip, driving past Lucia in blue at an intersection near Cipher Mall in Rockridge, Vice City.[4]

Influence

[edit | edit source]

In the HD Universe, the Alpha resembles the 2013 Cadillac Elmiraj concept, albeit with its design language more akin to an actual production car. The car also takes on various elements from Cadillac sedans released for the 2013–2014 model years; the front fascia and the hood are shaped similarly to the 2013–2014 ATS, the front bumper is similar to that of the 2013–2017 XTS, and the rear fascia and the roofline follow the third-generation CTS. The headlights are pointed in the opposite direction than modern Cadillac vehicles and resemble those of the 2001 Chrysler Crossfire Concept. The vehicle also bears a strong resemblance to the 2013 BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé concept, as seen in the side profile, lower part of the rear bumper, and exhausts. The tail lights are inspired by the 2008–2012 Maserati Quattroporte V (M139). The trunk area and the rear bumper shape also somewhat resemble those of the 2014–2023 Rolls-Royce Wraith.

Design

[edit | edit source]

The Alpha assumes a similar two-door layout from its Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas iteration, but leans more towards a luxury approach and having a slightly enlarged body. The front bumper is rather curved and has a set of three intakes, with the middle one being slightly narrower and bearing a chrome finish around, while the upper area has a large grille with an horizontal element and also having a chrome finish around both halves, with a circular section on the center bearing the Albany logo. The sections beside the grille house a set of modern headlights, consisting of circular units in a vertical positioning and modern LED-like strips at the bottom. The hood is relatively simple and has two body lines starting from the grille and reaching towards the A-pillars of the cabin, with three additional smoother lines.

The Alpha's interior uses the "SuperGT" interior type shared with other sport coupés like the Rapid GT and the F620. Most of its bodywork and the interior stitching are painted with the primary color, while the bottom part of the rear bumper and the circular portion where the front badge is located are painted with the secondary color (always set to black in the case of examples found on streets). Its wheels sport a unique rim design, being 5-spoke split rims with a wider end.

Performance

[edit | edit source]

The Alpha is powered by a single-cam V8, assumed by the engine cover. The website further supports the apparent V8, stating it is a 4.3 liter V8 pushing 500hp. The vehicle's top speed is high, with decent acceleration but below-average launch speed due to a combination of high weight, rear wheel drive, and a high-power engine producing wheel-spin from a standing start. Braking is very good despite the car's weight. Handling is smooth, with a slight tendency to oversteer when cornering at high speeds that can be countered fairly easily. The car's overall performance is very good, making it a fun car to drive. In races however, it is outclassed by most other cars in the sports category.

The engine sound is relatively low-revving, similar to the Jackal and the Police Cruiser.

Epsilon Modded A modified variant occasionally spawns at the Epsilon Building in the north side gated area during evening hours, however it pointedly does not have the signature Epsilon 'baby blue' color scheme, instead it sports a metallic Light Blue paint job for both primary and secondary colors with a blue wheel color that is not found in the color list to match.

Oversights

[edit | edit source]
  • The vehicle will produce smoke at the rear end of the vehicle. This is because the vehicle's engine bone is positioned within the trunk compartment as a developer oversight.
  • The Alpha is displayed as a Benefactor vehicle when:
  • There is a black smudge near the right exhaust. This is more noticeable when putting a different secondary color other than black.
