Thankfully, the Dukes makes up for its poor acceleration with its top speed, which is 76 mph (which, considering the top speeds of other vehicles, is rather high). Unfortunately, most of the power cannot be transferred to the wheels due to its heavy weight, which outweighs traction, resulting in slow acceleration. The Dukes is powered by an apparent 450cui (7.4L) supercharged engine (according to badging) coupled to a four-speed gearbox in a FR layout, pumping out a whopping 750 horsepower, and the engine model further appears to be a V8. A pentagon-shaped intake bulge on the hood with "supercharged" badges on it.The Dukes can be found with any combination of cosmetic accessories: It is one of the few cars that does not have a license plate, the others being the Slamvan, Contender, the beater variant of the Vigero, and most notably on most supercars such as the Comet, Super GT, Turismo, and the Infernus. "IMPONTE" badges can be seen at the front left end and rear end, as well as "450cui Supercharged" badges on the front fenders. The Dukes may feature a single primary color, with most of its details painted in a secondary color, being the front and rear ends, window trim, wheel arches, side lower trim and rear bumper.
The tail lights resemble those of the 1970 Mercury Monterey.
The Imponte name can also be found on the right grille of the front bumper, similar to the Pontiac name found on the 1967-1969 Firebird. It appears to be chiefly modeled after the 2nd and 3rd generation Dodge Charger, while the front bumper appears based on the 1968 or 1969 Pontiac LeMans or the 1967-1969 Firebird. The Dukes is the quintessential American muscle car: aggressive 1970s styling, a large engine, and a low, roaring exhaust note.
