||
+ | The [[Karin]] '''Dilettante '''is a hybrid electric four-door liftback featured in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]''. |
||
+ | |||
==Design== |
==Design== |
||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto IV''=== |
||
− | The Dilettante is depicted as a compact four-door liftback based on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius#Second_generation_.28XW20.3B_2003.E2.80.932009.29 2003-2009 Toyota Prius] with headlights from a [[wp:Citroën C4|Citroën C4]], and a shape that's less based on the Prius, but more on the Honda Insight, with its lower roof line over the rear seat area. The taillights are very similar to that of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Rendezvous Buick Rendezvous]. According to advertisements in the game, the Dilettante is worth $39,999 brand new; reminiscent of how unconventionally over-priced electric and hybrid cars are, such as the Toyota Prius - which is about $22,000. |
||
+ | {{quote|Bad plus good equals better for everyone. Chicks love electric gadgets.|Slogan for the Dilettante.}} |
||
+ | The Dilettante is a compact four-door liftback resembling a {{WP|Toyota Prius (XW20)|second-generation Toyota Prius (NHW20)}} mixed with the {{WP|Citroën C4#First generation (2004)|first-generation Citroën C4}}, seen in the headlights, bonnet, sides and the A-pillar. The exhaust and the lower rear bumper section seems to be taken from the {{WP|Honda_Civic (eighth generation)#Hatchback (FK1–3, FN1–4; 2005)|European-market eight-generation Honda Civic (FK/FN)}}, while the front bumper as well as the wheels are somewhat similar to the {{WP|Honda Civic (eighth generation)#Hybrid|North American hybrid version of the Civic (FA)}}. The tail lights appear to be borrowed from the {{WP|Buick Rendezvous|2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous}}. |
||
+ | The front of the car is very simple, featuring a wide open section and the license plate on the center of the bumper, as well as a small mesh grille and L-shaped housings with four circular headlights and two small turn signals on either side. The hood is very slanted and has a similar angle to the windshield, bearing the manufacturer emblem just above the grille. |
||
− | ==Gallery== |
||
+ | On the sides, the styling is very uniform, with many straight lines flowing throughout the body of the car, uninterrupted. However, the flared wheel arches are very exaggerated, which give the car depth. The cabin area is relatively curved and tall, with the window trims, inner pillars and rear-quarter sections finished in black, as well as the lines separating the roof panel from the rest of the car. A set of rounded mirror shells can be seen near the A-pillars, as well as an aerial on the rear section. The rear window of the trunk compartment door is very slanted, similar to the front windshield. |

||
+ | The rear end of the car bears large tail light units, consisting of triangle-shaped turn signals on the rear quarters, large square-shaped main and brake lights on the middle and a single rectangular reverse light above the license plate area. The same black finish from the sides is seen above the tail light units, while the lower corners of the trunk compartment door bears silver lettering displaying the names of the car and the manufacturer. The rear bumper is relatively bulky and has a black section at the bottom, which houses a wide mesh vent and triangular exhaust tips. The Dilettante is said to have an interior dashboard screen, similar to the real Toyota Prius. However, there is no actual dashboard screen in-game. According to advertisements in ''GTA IV'', a new Dilettante starts at [[Money|$]]39,999. |
||
− | ===GTA V=== |
||
+ | |||
− | The Dilettante has received no visual changes, and as a result, looks exactly the same as the one in GTA IV. |
||
+ | The vehicle is only available in a variety of single-tone colors for the body and the rear-view mirrors. It also uses five-spoke wide rims with small triangular open sections around, wrapped in medium-profile tires. |

||
+ | For ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'', the Dilettante retains the same design and features as before, but the rear trunk compartment door bears a single badge on the driver-side lower corner, displaying the manufacturer name. In the enhanced version, it gains a restored interior used on cars like the [[Taxi]] and the [[Police Cruiser|Police]]/[[Sheriff Cruiser]]. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Again, the car is only seen in a variety of single-tone colors and retains the same five-spoke wide rims and medium-profile tires. |

− | The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor at very low speeds, and an internal combustion engine for most of the time. Despite having two sources of power, the Dilettante accelerates very slowly and has a top speed which is among the lowest in the game. The Dilettante, due to the dreadful FWD system, understeers at moderate-to-high speeds. The suspension is fairly soft, thus allowing the car to bounce around on rough roads. |
||
+ | Despite having two sources of power as expected from a hybrid, the Dilettante accelerates very slowly, and transmission choice does not make a difference. It has a top speed which is among the lowest in the game. The Dilettante, due to the dreadful turning radius, understeers at moderate-to-high speeds. The suspension is fairly soft, thus allowing the car to bounce around on rough roads. |
||
+ | The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor and an internal combustion engine at the same time (a V8 engine judging by the cover), coupled with a 5-speed automatic gearbox in a FWD configuration. The engine sound is rather smooth, comparable to the [[Stratum]], the [[Solair]] and the [[Ingot]]. However, it has an additional tone, likely from the electric motor. |
||
− | However, the absolute worst aspect of the Dilettante is the weak bodywork. Even low speed crashes can result in almost unrealistic body deformation. It is also severely affected by bullets. |
||

||
− | * The word ''dilettante'' means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur. It can also mean amateurish or superficial, the latter meaning playing into the stereotype of hybrid owners as caring more about being perceived as eco-friendly than actually trying to help the environment (as is suggested in the advertisement for the car). |

||
+ | The car in ''GTA V'' is noticeably quicker than in ''GTA IV'', with an acceleration rate of about 7,1 seconds to get to 60 mph, and a top speed of 90 mph. It is also more manageable than the [[Prairie]], especially when turning at low to moderate speeds. However, it has considerably weak bodywork, as even low speed crashes can result in major body deformation, and is also severely affected by bullets. As per the majority of vehicles transitioning from ''GTA IV'' to ''GTA V'', it is noticeably more rigid. |
||
− | [[Image:Dilettante-GTA4-Stevie-front.jpg|thumb|275px|The Dilettante requested in [[Stevie's Car Thefts]].]] |
||
+ | The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor at under 40 mph (64 km/h), then a V8 internal combustion engine for most of the time, with a single speed (CVT) as standard. The car's combustion engine is also noticeable in terms of sound, with a unique, roary tone. |
||
− | * A uniquely brown Dilettante is requested in [[Stevie's Car Thefts|Stevie's car requests]], located accross the road from [[Big Willis Mall]] in [[Willis]], [[Dukes]]. |
||
+ | |||
− | * It mostly spawns in [[Easton]], [[Algonquin]]. |

||
+ | *The statement about toxic batteries for the Dilettante refers to the Toyota Prius having their batteries causing damage to the environment during mining and processing of the battery cells. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto IV''=== |
||
+ | *Interestingly enough, the floor mats inside the Dilettante read "Vapid", yet the vehicle is manufactured by Karin. This is because it reuses the same interior textures from the [[Vapid]] [[Taxi]] and the [[Police Cruiser]]. |

||
+ | *The audio files for the radio advert for the Dilettante misspell the car as "Dilantante". |
||
+ | *Commercials for the car refer to it as a sedan, despite it technically being a liftback, like its real-world counterpart. |

Latest revision as of 09:46, 29 February 2024
The Karin Dilettante is a hybrid electric four-door liftback featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Dilettante is a compact four-door liftback resembling a second-generation Toyota Prius (NHW20) mixed with the first-generation Citroën C4, seen in the headlights, bonnet, sides and the A-pillar. The exhaust and the lower rear bumper section seems to be taken from the European-market eight-generation Honda Civic (FK/FN), while the front bumper as well as the wheels are somewhat similar to the North American hybrid version of the Civic (FA). The tail lights appear to be borrowed from the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous.
The front of the car is very simple, featuring a wide open section and the license plate on the center of the bumper, as well as a small mesh grille and L-shaped housings with four circular headlights and two small turn signals on either side. The hood is very slanted and has a similar angle to the windshield, bearing the manufacturer emblem just above the grille.
On the sides, the styling is very uniform, with many straight lines flowing throughout the body of the car, uninterrupted. However, the flared wheel arches are very exaggerated, which give the car depth. The cabin area is relatively curved and tall, with the window trims, inner pillars and rear-quarter sections finished in black, as well as the lines separating the roof panel from the rest of the car. A set of rounded mirror shells can be seen near the A-pillars, as well as an aerial on the rear section. The rear window of the trunk compartment door is very slanted, similar to the front windshield.
The rear end of the car bears large tail light units, consisting of triangle-shaped turn signals on the rear quarters, large square-shaped main and brake lights on the middle and a single rectangular reverse light above the license plate area. The same black finish from the sides is seen above the tail light units, while the lower corners of the trunk compartment door bears silver lettering displaying the names of the car and the manufacturer. The rear bumper is relatively bulky and has a black section at the bottom, which houses a wide mesh vent and triangular exhaust tips. The Dilettante is said to have an interior dashboard screen, similar to the real Toyota Prius. However, there is no actual dashboard screen in-game. According to advertisements in GTA IV, a new Dilettante starts at $39,999.
The vehicle is only available in a variety of single-tone colors for the body and the rear-view mirrors. It also uses five-spoke wide rims with small triangular open sections around, wrapped in medium-profile tires.
The Dilettante is equipped with a GPS system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
For Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Dilettante retains the same design and features as before, but the rear trunk compartment door bears a single badge on the driver-side lower corner, displaying the manufacturer name. In the enhanced version, it gains a restored interior used on cars like the Taxi and the Police/Sheriff Cruiser.
Again, the car is only seen in a variety of single-tone colors and retains the same five-spoke wide rims and medium-profile tires.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto IV
Despite having two sources of power as expected from a hybrid, the Dilettante accelerates very slowly, and transmission choice does not make a difference. It has a top speed which is among the lowest in the game. The Dilettante, due to the dreadful turning radius, understeers at moderate-to-high speeds. The suspension is fairly soft, thus allowing the car to bounce around on rough roads.
The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor and an internal combustion engine at the same time (a V8 engine judging by the cover), coupled with a 5-speed automatic gearbox in a FWD configuration. The engine sound is rather smooth, comparable to the Stratum, the Solair and the Ingot. However, it has an additional tone, likely from the electric motor.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The car in GTA V is noticeably quicker than in GTA IV, with an acceleration rate of about 7,1 seconds to get to 60 mph, and a top speed of 90 mph. It is also more manageable than the Prairie, especially when turning at low to moderate speeds. However, it has considerably weak bodywork, as even low speed crashes can result in major body deformation, and is also severely affected by bullets. As per the majority of vehicles transitioning from GTA IV to GTA V, it is noticeably more rigid.
The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor at under 40 mph (64 km/h), then a V8 internal combustion engine for most of the time, with a single speed (CVT) as standard. The car's combustion engine is also noticeable in terms of sound, with a unique, roary tone.

Trivia
General
- In Italian, dilettante means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur. It can also mean amateurish or superficial, the latter meaning playing into the stereotype of hybrid owners as caring more about being perceived as eco-friendly than actually trying to help the environment (as is suggested in the advertisement for the car).
- The statement about toxic batteries for the Dilettante refers to the Toyota Prius having their batteries causing damage to the environment during mining and processing of the battery cells.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Interestingly enough, the floor mats inside the Dilettante read "Vapid", yet the vehicle is manufactured by Karin. This is because it reuses the same interior textures from the Vapid Taxi and the Police Cruiser.
- A green Dilettante identical to the billboard one can occasionally spawn in front of the Leftwood police station in the mission To Live and Die in Alderney.
- On the CNT TV station the Dilettante is advertised in a commercial after I'm Rich and right before The Serrated Edge starts.
- The audio files for the radio advert for the Dilettante misspell the car as "Dilantante".
- Commercials for the car refer to it as a sedan, despite it technically being a liftback, like its real-world counterpart.
