Dominator
Baby boomer teen dream repackaged for the mass market generation. A muscle car without the muscle that’s the rental vehicle of choice for tourists looking for a slice of ‘real’ Americana.
The Dominator is a powerful and aggressive muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Crafted by the in-game manufacturer Vapid, this vehicle takes design cues from iconic real-world American muscle Cars, most notably the Ford Mustang, and delivers an exhilarating driving experience both on the track and the streets of Los Santos.

Performance
The Dominator is renowned for its impressive speed and raw power, making it a top choice for high-octane street races and daring getaway drives.
