GTA IV's Emperor is powered by a high-displacement, but low-output 5.7 liter V8, mated to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Due to its weight and low-power engine, the Emperor is quite slow off the line, and its top speed of 120 MPH (185 kmh) leaves much to be desired. Acceleration differs between the two variants, with the standard Emperor reaching 60 mph in 9.9 seconds, and the beater in 12.9 seconds. The car feels very heavy around corners and loses much speed around them. Its soft suspension often results in its rear swinging out of control and subtle fishtailing. Braking is very poor, and strangely, for a vehicle that's designed to be reminiscent of late 1970s/early 1980s cars, ABS is standard. Crash deformation is below average, and build quality is surprisingly low: as the Emperor cannot sustain much damage before failing or catching fire. |

- This article is about the car made by Albany. For the manufacturer, see Emperor (manufacturer).
Template:Infobox vehicles
The Albany Emperor is a 4-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The car varies significantly between the three games. In GTA IV and GTA V, it is the four-door derivative of the Manana.
Description
Design
In GTA San Andreas, the Emperor, based on an 1990-1993 Infiniti Q45, represents a then contemporary large four-door sedan, with a lean design and somewhat rounded profile. Its also looks like the Sentinel, but more sleek and profiled.
In GTA IV, the Emperor, given an Albany badge (Cadillac badge in game)but the car it self is based off the Cadillac Brougham ([1]). Judging by the front bumper,with a flattened front end and no hood ornament. The side is closer to a 1980-1984 Fleetwood; the rear could also be from these cars since their trunks have more subtle creases (the Emperor has extremely subtle creases on the trunk). It features a "beater" version of the Emperor, with junky paint finishes, worn interiors, an occasionally missing quarter panel, and old wheels and tires. The beater version is slightly more common.
Performance
Acceleration and speed of GTA San Andreas' Emperor are somewhat disappointing, as are handling and braking. The engine sounds as though it is a large V6 or V8, but is apparently incapable of delivering substantial power to the bulky, rear-drive vehicle. Using the E-brake around corners almost guarantees fishtailing, making this car almost useless when driving at high speeds. It is, however, a sturdy vehicle with low chances of roll overs, and does a fairly good job of absorbing damage.
GTA IV's Emperor is powered by a high-displacement, but low-output 5.7 liter V8, mated to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Due to its weight and low-power engine, the Emperor is quite slow off the line, and its top speed of 120 MPH (185 kmh) leaves much to be desired. Acceleration differs between the two variants, with the standard Emperor reaching 60 mph in 9.9 seconds, and the beater in 12.9 seconds. The car feels very heavy around corners and loses much speed around them. Its soft suspension often results in its rear swinging out of control and subtle fishtailing. Braking is very poor, and strangely, for a vehicle that's designed to be reminiscent of late 1970s/early 1980s cars, ABS is standard. Crash deformation is below average, and build quality is surprisingly low: as the Emperor cannot sustain much damage before failing or catching fire.

- The beater variant can be found parked in Bohan Industrial, Bohan, just west of the Dukes Bay Bridge.
- The beater variant can show up can be found as the delivery vehicle for the Drug Delivery side-mission.
- The beater variant spawns more frequently when driving a non-beater Sabre or Vigero. The regular version spawns more frequently when driving a beater Sabre or Vigero.
- Spawns commonly when driving an Esperanto.
- Spawns near Mikhail Faustin's mansion in Beachgate.
- Occasionally spawns parked on Munsee Avenue in Downtown, Broker in The Ballad of Gay Tony. This is commonly found near where the Pony spawns.
- The beater variant is very common in southern Alderney, around the poorer areas.

- During the mission Prologue, after getting out of the bank, one can be seen parked in the bank yard. The vehicle is unobtainable.
- Can be seen driving around Ludendorff during the mission Bury the Hatchet, playing as Michael. The vehicle is obtainable, however getting too far from the Asea will fail the mission.
Trivia
- In GTA IV, the back of an Emperor is featured on a building in Star Junction.
- The Emperor plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- GTA San Andreas: CSR 103.9 or K-DST.
- GTA IV: Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 or Tuff Gong Radio.
- Oddly, there's also a car company called Emperor, a Lexus parody, but the car Emperor is made by Albany, a Cadillac parody (which is more fitting for this car). Yet the GTA San Andreas rendition seems to be more fitting for the Emperor brand since it is a Japanese luxury car.
- The rat rod beater variant with a lime green roof might appear in Little Jacob's deliveries. Respraying the car at a Pay N Spray will remove the unique roof and turn it to regular beater version.
- The GTA IV Emperor effectively replaces GTA San Andreas' Greenwood.
- The GTA IV Emperor uses the horn sound from GTA San Andreas.
- The beater variant, being an Albany with only 3 headlights, could be a nod to the "Psychobilly Cadillac" from the Johnny Cash song "One Piece At A Time".
- It appears in the GTA V trailer at 00.59. However only the front of it is showing.
- It could be possible that one of the FIB agents that appears on the mission Dust Off owns the black Emperor that is parked beside the building at Francis International Airport .
- Oddly, the GTA IV's version of the car appears to be manual despite its old, American appearance.
- The Emperor in GTA IV shares it's interior with the Esperanto.
