Dilettante (Patrol) in GTA 5

Overview

The Dilettante (Patrol) is a police liveried version of Karin's Dilettante in the Compacts class, seating four. Like the standard car it is not sold in GTA Online, and its listed $39,999 price is only a reference to an old GTA IV billboard advert. It is slightly slower than the plain Dilettante. Community testing places it in tier G of the Compacts class, reaching 85.75 mph flat out with a 1:23.667 lap on the benchmark circuit, just off the standard car's 88.5 mph and 1:22.165 lap. Like the plain car, this livery goes back to GTA Online's 2013 launch. Its police livery makes it a natural pick for law enforcement roleplay rather than for racing.
