The Stallion is a muscle car featured in almost every Grand Theft Auto title. It is manufactured by Classique, Vapid and Declasse in the .
In , the Stallion resembles a 1967–1969 Chevrolet Camaro. However, the hood is more alike the Pontiac GTO.
Stallions are seen in a variety of single colors and with a hardtop roof.
In the , the Stallion appears to be based mainly on the 1969/1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass (also the Oldsmobile 442) in the front end, while the back end is closer to the '70-'72 Cutlass. The hood scoop seems to have been influenced by the 1971 Ford Mustang and 1970 Mercury Cougar models. The front grill and lights seem to have been influenced by the 1974 Pontiac Luxury Le Mans. The notchback roofline, the smaller size and the name could be nods to the 1st generation Ford Mustang.
All renditions of the Stallion remained largely the same, retaining the front bumper with fog lights, dual grilles, circular headlights, twin ram-air hood, square tail lights on either side of the rear bumper and twin exhaust pipes. However, there are small differences between each models, depending of the game's settings:
*The Liberty City models are generally simple, with visible door handles and a central handle on the trunk. *The Vice City models have chrome details running through the sides, while the trunk handle was downscaled and moved to the driver side. *The San Andreas model retains the chrome details from the VC models, but the trunk handle was moved back to the center. A fuel cap can be also seen on the rear left fender.
Liberty City and Vice City versions may spawn with an open top or soft top, while the San Andreas version features a hard top. The soft top always has a secondary color, but the hard top has the car's primary color.
The Stallion makes a return in GTA IV, where it is manufactured by Classique. The grille and lights remain largely unchanged, but the body more closely resembles the 1968–1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass; the rear end is reminiscent of the 1971 or 1972 Cutlass, featuring "STALLION" above the bumper in a manner similar to how "OLDSMOBILE" appears, along with additional lights. The headlights are surrounded by headlight bezels similar to those on the 1968 Cutlass.
