Tampa
Winner of multiple industry awards including ‘Most Powerful in Class’, ‘Worst Handling’ and ‘Biggest Fireball’, the Declasse Tampa brings the effortless cool of the 60s to a generation born decades too late. Time to gun the engine, stare directly into a moody sunset and live forever under a roadside grave in the middle of nowhere.
The Tampa is a classic muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Manufactured by Declasse, the Tampa draws its design inspiration from iconic real-world American muscle Cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering players a nostalgic blend of power and style.
Vehicle Overview
Design
The Tampa embraces a retro muscle car aesthetic reminiscent of the classic American Cars from the late ’60s and early ’70s. It features a robust, boxy design with sharp edges, prominent wheel arches, and a distinctive split front grille. The car’s low stance and wide body give it an assertive and nostalgic look on the roads of Los Santos.
Performance
The Tampa is designed for high torque and impressive straight-line speed, capturing the essence of vintage muscle Cars. While it excels in acceleration and top speed, giving players a burst of power for drag races or fast getaways, the vehicle’s handling can be challenging. It requires skillful control when cornering at high speeds, making it a rewarding choice for experienced drivers who crave a raw, authentic driving experience.
Customization
Players can take the Tampa to Los Santos Customs to enhance its performance and aesthetics. Customization options include engine upgrades, improved suspension, and advanced brake systems to refine its driving capabilities.
