Template:Infobox vehiclesThe Emperor Lokus LS 350 is a four-door sedan available in Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes.
Design
The Lokus resembles a second generation Lexus GS, with headlights resembling those of the 2004–2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS, and a split grille design reminiscent of some Nissan models. The taillights resemble those of the BMW E46 3-Series, and the vehicle has a striking resemblance to the 1999-2004 Peugeot 406.
Performance
The Lokus is a rear-wheel drive saloon powered by a 3.5-litre low-range V6, coupled with a 5 speed manual gearbox.
Acceleration could be described as leisurely; the Lokus takes around 10 seconds to reach 60mph. Its top speed, 140mph (225 km/h) is not exactly incredible either. Needless to say, it is unfit for racing. The steering has no real feel to it; the Lokus is quite happy vaguely ambling left-ish or right-ish, but as a performance car it isn't. The suspension is firm but not sharp, thus the comfort of the ride is compromised and a hint of understeer at high speeds is apparent. Braking is well below average, although ABS is available. In the event of a crash, the Lokus does not fare well; the Lokus cannot sustain much damage before becoming undrivable.
Mission Appearances
- 3 Lokuses appear during the mission Entourage, 1 has a standard black colour, and 2 has a unique colour, 1 is red shade and the other one is blue shade. Pass or fail the mission to obtain the cars.
