Imperator (Arena)

Overview

The Imperator is a custom muscle car built for the 1.46 Arena War update, released on December 11, 2018. It is modeled on the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT, specifically the Pursuit Special from the *Mad Max* films. The nose draws on the Vauxhall Firenza "Droopsnoot," the shaker scoop on the late-1970s Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and the tail lights on the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. It comes in Apocalypse, Future Shock and Nightmare editions.
