Vapid Imperator Appreciation Thread

[Willy A. Jeep 4,663]

The Imperator is a 1970s muscle car resembling the Ford Falcon XB Pursuit Special "V8 Interceptor" featured in the Mad Max series of films.

 

All examples are the "Apocalypse" variant. Each variant has its own suite of customization and differences in paint regions.

Buy It Now: $2,284,940

Trade: $1,718,000

 

Vendor: Arena War Website

 

In-Game Descriptions:

Apocalypse Variant:

"They built 'em good in the Seventies. So good, you can stick a meat grinder on the front and drive right through the badlands without losing a single drop of effortless cool."

Future Shock Variant:

"Behold the classic muscle car's final form: sleek, polished and impregnable. If you needed proof that the Imperator heritage would broadcast your insecurities right into the space age, this is it."

Nightmare Variant:

"You know what doesn't biodegrade? Cluckin' Bell chicken strips and Seventies cool. With those as your design template, you'll be driving something that'll stay classy and trashy all the way till the end of time."

Kinda looks like the vice city phoenix. I'll probably buy it.

[Redmone 108]

I've been waiting for so long, I remember pretending the pheonix was the intercepter

[Infernus866 17]

i KNOW f*****g dude, it bothered me how you cant have side exhausts for the phoenix but we had to rely to it for the mad max style, and i hope to god the imperator isnt dripfed, or im just gonna go back to rdr2 or bo4 zombies

In sure a lot of people here will like it, but for me it's meh. 

[crsN 2,527]

I like it very much. Instant buy for me.

[APB 2,864]

Considering replacing my Phoenix with this.

[Infernus866 17]

im seeing some live gameplays rn and i cant seem to find the stock version of the imperator (which was shown in some leaked photos) only its upgraded form

[Wastelander (Suzuki) 5,144]

Rather unironically found this song during the rather Mad Max like drive out to the desert:

Drive it like you stole it indeed.

[Fatsanchez 2,061]

There is no ‘stock’ version. It comes battle ready, and then you can modify it to be clean.

The ramp on the front of the arena one cant be removed?

[AUScowboy 13,844]

It can but there's other non removable horse sh*t like the ZR380..

[Fatsanchez 2,061]

So R* does it again. Lol.

[Touge Spirit Leader 1,779]

So can we make this a regular-ish Falcon XB or nah?

Seeing @Willy A. Jeep OP lead me to believe an original version would be released as dripfeed, but I’m not too sure now. The XB GT would make a nice addition.

 

I remember creating a Pursuit Special in Midnight Club: LA with “Interceptor” written on the rear and MFP badges on the front fenders. Loved cruising around in it.

[Dark_Razar 1,423]

I think the "stock" Imperatore is essentially the Apocalypse variant without the rust livery. 

[el carlitos 2,014]

So if you don´t plan to buy the arena you won´t get the standard version to buy?

Hope that´s a bad joke.From the other site it´s R* so I´m not suprised.

[Mach1bud 59,681]

What do you guys mean it can't be stock? This is stock. This is how the Interceptor looks except without the exhausts. I wouldn't expect anything else.

How do you do it? In LS Customs rn with it and I can't get the stupid cowcatcher off

[hank_wayne 214]

Shame you nee the arena workshop to customize it (ie:remove the big ramp from the front.) That and the Arena workshop will set you back atleast 2.5million dollars.

[Wastelander (Suzuki) 5,144]

Plan on getting at least two more of these in due time, one a Twisted Metal Death Machine, and one a street muscle car

[LeakyLine 5,998]

Actually crying because I had to sell my Xbox.

[MARINA 3,527]

Can this thing be used in races once decommissioned?

[TheBricktop 651]
