Hermes



The Hermes is a customized 1940s/1950s Mercury available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, San Andreas and Vice City Stories.

Description
The Hermes, appearing as a two-door coupe, is distinguishable by its large body but seemingly small occupant space. The car is evidently modified with its roof chopped down, enhancing the vehicle's hot rod-like appearance. The Hermes is based on a 1949-1951 Mercury Custom, but is unusual in that it has front wheel drive (unheard of in American cars of the period) and it can't be blown up with a gas-tank shot like most cars in GTA San Andreas. The car's performance could be described as average; its acceleration is underwhelming, but it has a moderate top speed. The car is also prone to understeer, owing to its size and small tires. As it only has two doors, the Hermes can only seat two.

In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Hermes is commonly seen around Vice City. In GTA San Andreas, the Hermes is mostly a gang car for the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas, and as such, it can be seen on their respective turfs. It can only be modified at TransFender.
