Lurcher

"Dismissed as 'over the top' for the 90s pro wrestling circuit, the Albany Lurcher was a car ahead of its time. Since then American society has moved on, and this forgotten gem has been taken to heart as the centerpiece of choice for funeral orgies across the nation. Don't take chances when it comes to your legacy: accessorize your demise, and turn your death into a statement that nobody wants to hear."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Albany Lurcher is a four-door hearse featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Halloween Surprise update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Lurcher is essentially a hearse built upon the chassis of a Buccaneer, with the hearse compartment similar to that of the 1967 Cadillac Funeral Coach at the rear.

The car retains most of the features from the standard model, being the split grille, stacked headlights, fenders, and the chrome details at the bottom and around the windows, while the rest of the car assumes the same soft top, rear compartment doors with curtain textures on it, and the ornaments derived from the Romero Hearse. The rear lights and outer edges appear to be similar to the ones on the Emperor.

The car uniquely features a partially open coffin in the rear compartment, containing what appears to be a mannequin wearing a damaged black suit and a Pale Frank mask, and is looking out of the coffin with its right arm extended, pointing out of the vehicle's rear window to other drivers and general onlookers behind it. Its appearance is similar to that of 's portrayal of from the 1931 film.

The vehicle is only painted with a single color for the bodywork and the interior stitching. Again, the stock wheels are similar to the "Dukes" rims available in Los Santos Customs, with the wheel color receiving a darker tone.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Lurcher is remarkably different than the Buccaneer stock model. Acceleration is sub-par for the class because of the large increase in mass, yet a higher top speed as a result of this. The Lurcher handles differently, thanks to the large addition to the rear of the car body, the car is very back-heavy and feels almost chuckable around corners. Keeping the car from spinning out is harder than most other Muscle cars, even before the Lowriders Update. Crash deformation is acceptable.

Like the stock model, the Lurcher sports a decently powerful V8 under the hood, a 5-speed gearbox and a RWD layout. It also shares the same low-revving engine sound.
