Bravado Buffalo S

The Bravado Buffalo S is one of Grand Theft Auto V's most recognizable American four-door sports sedans. Manufactured by Bravado — Rockstar's fictional American muscle-and-utility brand (overlapping into sport-sedan territory) — the Buffalo S has been present from V's 2013 launch.

What's confirmed

  • Class: Sports (4-door sedan)
  • Manufacturer: Bravado (Rockstar fictional brand)
  • Game: Grand Theft Auto V (2013 original launch, 2014 PS4/Xbox One re-release, 2022 PS5/Xbox Series X|S "Expanded and Enhanced" re-release) and GTA Online
  • Status in V: present from launch, ubiquitous across both story mode and Online
  • Buffalo lineage: the Buffalo nameplate is an enduring Bravado entry — base Buffalo, Buffalo S, Buffalo STX, and other variants have appeared across V's lifecycle
  • Brand siblings: the Bravado Banshee is Bravado's two-door sports counterpart to the Buffalo S's four-door sport-sedan posture; both are launch-tier Bravado entries

What this entry doesn't yet include

Deferred until sourced:

  • Top-speed / acceleration / handling specifics
  • Specific real-world car aesthetic (the Bravado naming pattern is American police-coded and sport-sedan-coded; specifics deferred)
  • Spawn locations
  • Customization catalog
  • Specific mission appearances (Buffalo-class vehicles appear across many of V's chase sequences; specific mission citations deferred to verifiable archive review)

Why it's catalog-worthy

The Buffalo S is one of V's "you've definitely driven this" vehicles. It's a default sport-sedan that surfaces frequently in story missions and ambient traffic. Recognition value is high; it's the kind of vehicle players know instantly even without remembering the model name.
