The Emperor Lokus LS 350 is a four-door sedan available in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
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 was very resembling 1999-2004 Peugeot 406.
After completing Stevie's text message car thefts, the Lokus may be sold in his garage for $1,300.
Performance
The Lokus is powered by what feels like a low-revving V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD configuration.
Badging on the Lokus. Note the "Emporer" spelling.
Acceleration could be described as "leisurely" — the Lokus takes upwards of 10 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62mph). Its top speed, 136 km/h (85 mph), is similarly disappointing. Needless to say, it is unfit for racing. Handling is unresponsive and suspension is much too firm, resulting in a surprising amount of understeer. Braking is well below average, although ABS is available. Crash deformation is average to below average, and build quality is quite shoddy; the Lokus cannot sustain much damage before becoming unusable. Overall, the car is fit only for unhurried street driving.
Trivia
- Lokus is a German word for "toilet".
- Lokus is also a homonym of a Quebec Super Car, the HTT Locus Plethore. Though, there is apparently no link between the Lokus and the Locus.
- On the back end of the Lokus, Emperor is misspelled as "Emporer".
- The default radio station in the Lokus is Vladivostok FM.
- Its name evokes that of Lexus, the luxury car division of Toyota; the Lokus is chiefly designed after the Lexus GS.
- Lokus may be a homophone for 'locust', a species of grasshopper.
