“

The Bravado marketing department know just what we need - another resurrected 1960s muscle car for the over-muscled EDM generation. It's a vehicle with aggressive lines for aggressive drivers.

”

— Southernsanandreassuperautos.com description.

The Buffalo is a vehicle that appeared as a muscle car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and a sports sedan in The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Bravado in the HD Universe.

Design

3D Universe

The Buffalo in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appears to be based on the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro, but there are influences from other vehicles. The headlights are circular, similar to a Opel Manta B2 and the third generation Honda Integra. A C-pillar has also been added, bearing a resemblance to a Dodge Daytona. The shape of the taillights looks closer to some third-generation Pontiac Firebird models. The Buffalo also features a ram air hood.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

The Bravado Buffalo is a sports sedan based on the Sixth generation Dodge Charger as well as the Ford Mustang GT for the greenhouse area, front fascia and headlights. In GTA IV, the game's rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a consumer model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car. Rather, the vehicle is depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the Federal Investigation Bureau, dubbed the FIB Buffalo.

The Buffalo features a custom body kit that includes larger exhaust tips, chrome wheels, and ground effects, suggesting that it is based on the Charger's SRT-8 model. Compared to the FIB Buffalo's naturally-aspirated V8 engine, the civilian Buffalo has a supercharged, high-displacement V8 engine.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Buffalo returns in Grand Theft Auto V, with the normal version having the same design as The Ballad of Gay Tony model. The Buffalo can be purchased in GTA Online on southernsanandreassuperautos.com for $35,000.

Performance

3D Universe

In GTA San Andreas, the car is laid out in an FR layout, and sports a high-performance V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of high rear end power, which may lead to loss of traction. Despite being a sports car, the Buffalo handles very well off road, making it a spectacular cross-country vehicle.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

The Buffalo's performance in TBoGT is very good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its supercharged 5.7 liter V8 engine which is more superior than it's law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration which is 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and an excellent top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h) and a 5-speed semi-automatic gearbox in a FR layout, because it is being lighter than the FIB Buffalo. While the car is still prone to fishtailing, the car's grip on the road is equally excellent. And like the Infernus, Banshee, F620, Sultan RS and Bullet, the Buffalo backfires from its exhaust when shifting gears.

GTA IV Overview

Template:GTA IV Vehicle Stats

Grand Theft Auto V

Returning to GTA V, the Buffalo retains its mostly-good performance, having an acceptable top-speed, and average acceleration. Thanks to its sturdy front structure, the Buffalo can cope with several head-on crashes before the wheels make an average negative-camber. The braking distance is among the best in the class, and still performs just as good in wet weather, thanks to its thick tires, and its firm brake disks. The engine powering the car is a V8, being situated at the front, and having a RWD drivetrain, an average layout for sports-sedans.

Unique Colours

Red Buffalo

Mori Kibbutz owns a unique red Buffalo that can be found in Kibbutz Number One. To obtain it, the player can take it to the parking space in Niko's South Bohan safehouse and kill Mori, this will cause to fail the mission but the car can be saved. Another method without failing the mission is to reach the destination in the map, let Mori get off and then the player can take the vehicle to the South Bohan safehouse and proceed with the mission.

It is also found in the mission This Ain't Checkers, Mori's red Buffalo, along with the other 3 cars available, is equipped with Nitro to help the player win the Triathlon set up by Mori.

Blue Buffalo

At the start of the mission Bang Bang, the player has the choice between Tony's black Schafter or a unique blue Buffalo. This Buffalo is presumably Evan Moss's car as he is the only person in the apartment other than Tony and this is the only time the Buffalo is seen.

Variants

Civilian

There is a sportier, higher performance edition, known as the Buffalo S found in Grand Theft Auto V.

Emergency Service Variants

There are two emergency service equivalents featured in both Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V:

FIB Buffalo - An unmarked variant operated by the FIB. Also known as "FIB" in GTA V.
Police Buffalo - A police equivalent used by the LCPD in TBOGT, and the LSPD in GTA V. Also known as the "Police Cruiser" in GTA V.

Notable Owners

Catalina has a Buffalo at her hideout.
Dom Beasley owns an orange Buffalo as seen in the mission Targeted Risk.
Eddie Pulaski owns a white Buffalo as seen only in the mission High Noon.
Evan Moss owns a blue Buffalo.
Mori Kibbutz owns a red/pink Buffalo.

Locations

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Catalina owns a Buffalo, located beside her hideout in Fern Ridge, Red County, even after she has left for Liberty City with Claude.
Will spawn at the Xoomer Gas Station in Easter Basin when wanted for export.
Available for export for $28,000 at the Import/Export dock in Easter Basin, San Fierro every Friday after completing all 3 export lists.
A white Buffalo with a license plate reading "PULASKI" is driven by Eddie Pulaski in the mission High Noon. If the player destroys it during the mission, it re-spawn's when they get the "Mission Passed" notification, undamaged and available to be driven away.
Occasionally spawns in a pink painted parking lot in Queens, San Fierro (sometimes locked).
Sometimes spawns in Juniper Hill, San Fierro.
Can be found with full immune in the mission Misappropriation and High Noon.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

Very uncommon unless the player drives one.
If the player is hijacking a boat or helicopter during a Drug War, they will be required to bring it to the docks in Northwood. The Buffalo will be right in front of the player after the ending cut-scene, and it can be taken freely.
Commonly spawns in north Algonquin in multiplayer.
Henrique will deliver one to the player if called.
Uniquely colored examples can be found during Drug Wars as a target vehicle for convoy missions.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Buffalo can be found mostly across Los Santos.
It can also be found on the highways around Los Santos and Blaine County.

Grand Theft Auto Online

Can be bought on Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $35,000 (Online only).

Trivia

General

The default radio stations for the Buffalo are:
- GTA San Andreas: Radio X.
- The Ballad of Gay Tony: San Juan Sounds.
- GTA V: Radio Los Santos, The Lab (PC only) or West Coast Classics.
The way that the Buffalo in the 3D Universe is a 2-door and the variant in the HD Universe is a 4-door is similar to how the Dodge Charger, the basis of the HD Universe variant, went from its early production as a 2-door to a 4-door from 2006 until its present day counterpart.
The original San Andreas car's name may be a reference to the Ford Taurus. Both names are a reference to forms of cattle (in the Buffalo's case, a type of bison).
- Another possible name association is that the primary method of defense of a buffalo (bison) is to charge at a threat with its horns. As the later versions of the vehicle were modeled after the Dodge Charger, this may be the reason the name was used in the HD games.
For any player who views their Online garage and owns a Buffalo or Buffalo S, will be displayed as the car itself. Player's upgrades remain unless changed.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Buffalo shares its engine sound with the Alpha and the Infernus.
Sometimes, the Buffalo at Catalina's hideout will have rain particles coming off of the rear trunk that are only visible by looking at it through the camera. This is more likely to occur during foggy weather or in the late day and sunrise.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The Buffalo shown in billboards has a large Bravado logo within its grille, unlike the FIB Buffalo or the civilian Buffalo which have a small logo above the grille. Interestingly, the billboard Buffalo also retains the police lights found on the FIB variant.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, if the player takes a Buffalo to a Pay 'n' Spray too many times, it will turn a unique, dark green color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its color palette. The exceptions are the Dukes, the Infernus and the PMP 600, which all suffer from the glitch.
Though the paint-job of Mori's Buffalo is regarded as unique in-game, Buffalo's with the same color can be found, driven by pedestrians.
The Buffalo appears in Drug Wars where it is used to escort drugs. These sometimes have unique paint-jobs.
The Buffalo features the same wheels as the Rebla.

Grand Theft Auto V

Buffalo-bravado-glitched-bumper-frontgtav — Buffalo with removed bumpers and side skirts through a glitch.

In Los Santos Customs, there's a glitch that lets you remove the bumpers and skirts from the regular Buffalo.
In GTA V the Buffalo is incorrectly classified as a sports car, as in real life, it is a sedan.

-The Buffalo S has a slightly better performance than the regular Buffalo due to the stronger engine. The acceleration is now much quicker, while the steering has been improved. It is now capable of causing large amounts of damage without even being effected, due to its possibly-upgraded fascia and structure.

 *The Buffalo shares its engine sound with the [[Alpha]] and the Infernus.
 *Sometimes, the Buffalo at Catalina's hideout will have rain particles coming off of the rear trunk that are only visible by looking at it through the camera. This is more likely to occur during foggy weather or in the late day and sunrise.

 *The Buffalo shown in billboards has a large [[Bravado]] logo within its grille, unlike the [[FIB Buffalo]] or the civilian Buffalo which have a small logo above the grille. Interestingly, the billboard Buffalo also retains the police lights found on the FIB variant.
+===''The Ballad of Gay Tony''===
 *In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], if the player takes a Buffalo to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] too many times, it will turn a unique, dark green color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its color palette. The exceptions are the [[Dukes (car)|Dukes]], the [[Infernus]] and the [[PMP 600]], which all suffer from the glitch.
 *Though the paint-job of Mori's Buffalo is regarded as unique in-game, Buffalo's with the same color can be found, driven by [[pedestrians]].

-*In [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Franklin_Clinton Franklin's] trailer, at the six second mark, a red Buffalo S can be seen at the Car Wash on Innocence Boulevard, implying that both models spawned in traffic during the beta, however only the Buffalo spawns in the final version.
-*The license place on the Buffalo S reads "FC1988", an apparent nod to Franklin Clinton being born in 1988.
