Are Cadillacs good in GTA?

Cadillac cars in GTA, unlike other brands, are diversely represented. Not only does the game include your standard sedans, sports cars, and SUVs, but it also features hearses, limousines, and vintage hot rods. Because of that, performance and design across the range of cars are going to vary greatly. That being said, some GTA Cadillacs are among the fastest, most stylish, and certainly most unique vehicles in the game.  

The three coolest Audis in GTA

Not sure where to start your Cadillac collection? Give these three unique models a try:
  • 1. Albany Franken Stange: This hot rod might not be the fastest car in GTA, but it is definitely one of the coolest. Only available during the game’s yearly Halloween event, the Franken Stange boasts great traction, a V-8 powertrain, and incredible durability. 
  • 2. Albany Alpha: For a more traditional choice, the Albany Alpha sports coupe boasts a 4.3-liter V-8 engine that pumps out 500 horsepower. Reaching top speeds of 126 mph, the Alpha V-STR is ranked #24 on GTA’s list of fastest in-game cars. 
  • 3. Albany Lurcher: Another unique choice, the Albany Lurcher is based on the 1967 Cadillac Funeral Coach. Only available during the annual GTA Halloween event, the Lurcher is durable, surprisingly speedy, and effortlessly edgy.
