Stratum

Name: Stratum

Summary: The Zirconium Stratum is a four-door station wagon appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. The Stratum has appeared throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, returning from the 3D Universe. The rear of a Stratum can be distantly seen in the opening shot of the game's first trailer, traveling along a busy freeway in Hamlet near the Leonida Penitentiary. The Stratum's primary influence is seemingly drawn from the eighth generation Nissan Skyline (R32) sedan, particularly evident in the front end, which incorporates a reminiscent bulged hood, slim grille design, emblem placement, and headlights. This influence continues along the sides, with a closely matching feature line and pronounced shoulder over the rear wheels. The main difference is the addition of an extended rear end, featuring a continuous roofline that extends all the way to the back, complete with a rear hatch, transforming it into a station wagon rather than a sedan. The taillights are directly borrowed from the fourth generation Chevrolet Caprice sedan, while the overall rear end loosely resembles the first generation Subaru Impreza wagon, particularly in the design of the rear bumper. Additionally, the positioning of the rear hatch lettering is similar to that of the first generation Isuzu Impulse, with the text conceivably inspired by the SATURN lettering found on the rear bumper of Saturn SW models. Variants of the Stratum equipped with a spoiler feature badging that references a 2.6L Twin-Turbo engine, a clear nod to the Nissan RB26DETT, which powered the Nissan Skyline GT-R from 1989 to 2002, the only production vehicle to use such an engine. Retaining a close overall design from its previous 3D Universe iteration, the Stratum appears more streamlined and sportier compared to the Solair and Ingot. The front of the car is largely similar, but there are small intakes added beside the number plate and two black strips with front-facing rectangular fog lamps, while the upper area has a small grille and the corresponding badges on the central panel. The sides are largely similar to its previous iteration, but ZIRCONIUM badges are added on the front portions, between the front arches and the front doors, while the roof features an aerial on the back section. The rear features additional tail lights and yellow reflectors on the rear compartment door, as well as additional Zirconium an
