Buffalo S in GTA 5

Overview

The Buffalo S is a sportier trim of Bravado's Buffalo muscle car, sold through GTA Online's in-game internet for $96,000. That is well above the standard car's price for a fairly small change underneath. Performance is close to the standard Buffalo, reaching 113 mph flat out and lapping the benchmark circuit in 1:07.601, still tier K but a shade quicker than the base car. Rear-wheel drive and 4 seats carry over unchanged from the regular Buffalo it is based on, keeping the family feel intact throughout. Like the standard Buffalo, it has been available since GTA Online launched in September 2013. The extra cost buys a small pace improvement rather than a completely different car underneath the trim and badge.
