The GTA Chinatown rendition is very similar to that of GTA IV, but varies in the manner in which they appear. One interesting color it shows up in is orange, a further reference to The Dukes of Hazzard (however it is a yellower hue) with black chrome. All Dukes appear with side exhaust pipes. Any Dukes with a bug catcher also has a chin spoiler mounted under the front bumper, and hood pins, and wire mesh covers over the headlight configurations.
As a possible parody of Dodge's "Super Bee" (or possibly Plymouth's "Road Runner"), a "Highway Reaper" decal, found on the rear quarter panels, is also present on any version of the Dukes with a bug catcher. In addition, a Dukes may also be found with a small rear spoiler on the trunk and/or louvers on the rear window.
Overall, it looks much like a 1969 Dodge Charger (thanks to the split grille) and the name most likely refers to TV show, The Dukes of Hazzard, which features a 1969 Dodge Charger.ĭukes' are found with either a small hood scoop, a hood bulge with the words "supercharged" written on it, or a large roots-type supercharger/blower with a bug catcher, all with "750 HP" written on each side - referring to its powerful 750 bhp V8. The backs of the rear fenders appear to modeled on those of the '64 Pontiac GTO/'64 LeMans, or possibly the '66/'67 Charger. It appears to be chiefly modeled after the 1968–1970 Dodge Charger the front bumper appears based on a 1968 Pontiac LeMans (and less likely the 1968/1969 Pontiac GTO since it is done in chrome) but the middle does not bulge as much the taillights resemble those of a '69 Pontiac GTO. The Dukes is the quintessential American muscle car: aggressive 1970s styling, a large engine, and a low, roaring exhaust note.
